Dick Cavett interviewed the Oscar-winning actress Katharine Hepburn. The episode aired on September 14, 1973.

Katharine Hepburn won four Academy Awards for Best Actress over her six-decade career, a record that no one has managed to match more than four decades after her last statuette.

Hepburn never attended the ceremony to accept any of those awards. The only time she stepped onto the Oscar stage was in 1974, and that year she wasn't even nominated.

Katharine Hepburn was born in Connecticut in 1907, debuted on Broadway in the 1920s, and entered the film industry after a talent scout noticed her talent.

Her first appearance on the big screen was in A Bill of Divorcement (1932), and just two years later, at the age of 26, she won her first Oscar for Best Actress for her performance in Morning Glory (1933).
