KATHARINE HEPBURN WAS ONCE CALLED THE “BOX-OFFICE POISON”

There was a time when Katharine Hepburn was met with back-to-back flops, giving
her the title of “box-office poison.” By the 1930s, Hepburn starred in a couple
of movies that were critically acclaimed flops. The films were not a success as
she opted for oddball roles, where the female protagonist was educated and
independent. This was a different norm for women back in that time. Writer
Graham Greene applauded her for her performance in Break of Hearts but also
explained why the audience, especially men, were fearful of her. “Miss Hepburn
always makes her young women quite horrifyingly lifelike with their girlish
intuitions, their intensity, their ideals which destroy the edge of human
pleasure, “ he explained, as mentioned by Slash Film.

Disheartened, she went back to Broadway and starred in a play, The Philadelphia
Story, which gave her so much fame. Happily, she purchased the film rights and
made a solid entry back to Hollywood, that too on her own terms. Ever since
then, there was no looking back for her and she gave one hit after the other.
