A great screen legend and also one of the best actresses that had ever lived, the 96 year old actress passed away but she will always be missed and remembered. What are your favorite performances of hers?

How could you forget Bringing Up Baby, one of the best, if not THE best screwball comedies. If I were to pick her best though, it would probably be The African Queen.

Thanks for opening this topic Hannibal, if you hadn't I would've! She's my favorite actress, and possibly the greatest as well. :)

I don't think I can rank them, but my very favorite performances of hers are:

Tracy Lord in Philadelphia Story
Amanda Bonner in Adam's Rib
Rose Sayer in African Queen
Eleanor of Aquitaine in The Lion in Winter

Other films I've enjoyed her performances in include:

Bringing Up Baby
Desk Set
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
On Golden Pond
The Man Upstairs

There were also just SO many great performances she has given that it was extremely difficult for me to make a top 10, but all her performances were extremely worthy. God bless her.

I have not yet seen: THE AFRICAN QUEEN, THE LION IN WINTER, MORNING GLORY, HOLIDAY, WOMAN OF THE YEAR, PAT & MIKE, SUMMERTIME, or THE RAINMAKER. Looks like I need to have a Katharine Hepburn marathon (preferably a Tracy-Hepburn marathon).

A truly classy, gifted actress, one of cinema’s greats, Hepburn will be missed.
