[Signed to Gore Vidal] Berg, A. Scott. Kate Remembered. Fourth Printing. 2003. Book and dust jacket are both in very good condition. Book is warmly inscribed, “For Gore, To stir up memories of the 15 year old … and then some. With the love and admiration of the mislaid son, Scott. December, 2003. Los Angeles.” Book is stamped “From the library of GORE VIDAL” on the flyleaf.
Hepburn was that rare breed of film star with the ability to tend her image without succumbing to it. This best-selling book by her close friend explains how—Yankee common sense and an ability to live in the moment. Some argued this book was an invasion of privacy, but surely one as adept as Hepburn at controlling her public persona knew exactly what the end result of befriending a Pulitzer Prize-winning author. The inscription most likely refers to a teenage Gore Vidal at the movies entranced by Hepburn in a film. Later, Vidal adapted a one-act Tennessee Williams play into Suddenly Last Summer in which Hepburn co-starred with Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift.
"I'm terrifying. But I'm smart enough to know I'm terrifying. And that's why I didn't have children."
--Katharine Hepburn
