As You Like It
at the Orpheum Theatre in Kansas City, Missouri. Hepburn starred as Rosalind. Lightly toned. Staples are rusted. Ink transference and adhesive residue on rear cover (no show-through). Otherwise, fine condition.

Unsigned 1¼x1¼ purple ticket stub, ticket for the upper loge of the Orpheum Theatre, dated Nov. 27, 1950. Bottom has been torn off, otherwise in fine condition.
Stage, screen, and television actress
Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003)
was
nominated for 12 Academy Awards for Best Actress, winning four:
Morning Glory
(1934),
Guess Who's Coming to Dinner
(1967),
The Lion in Winter
(1969) and
On Golden Pond
(1982).
She
won an Emmy for
Love Among the Ruins
(1975). Altogether, she notched 12 Oscar, 5 Emmy and 2 Tony nominations.
Like many film actors and actresses, she first broke into show business on the stage, making her first appearances on Broadway in 1928 with roles in
Night Hostess
and
These Days
. She returned to Broadway frequently throughout her career, sometimes to rehabilitate her public image. Her final role on Broadway was in the comedy
The West Side Waltz
(1982), which she starred in. In 1932, she made her first appearance in a film, starring in
A Bill of Divorcement
alongside
John Barrymore. Over the decades, she played opposite most of her era's biggest stars, including Cary Grant, Humphrey Bogart, John Wayne, Laurence Olivier, Henry Fonda, and Spencer Tracy, the latter of whom she made nine films with.
Her intimate relationship with Tracy spanned 26 years (until his death in 1967) and is the most famous extramarital affair in the history of Hollywood. Tracy was married to Louise Tracy, but the two had been estranged for years. Later in life, Hepburn starred in several television movies, the last being
One Christmas
(1994). In 1991, she published an autobiography titled
Me: Stories of My Life
. To the present day,
Hepburn
remains a significant cultural icon due to her prolific career and disregard for the Hollywood social scene and its conventions at the time. After she divorced in 1934, she never married again, choosing to live independently for the rest of her life. Her career floundered at times, particularly in the years just before WWII broke out from 1934-1940. This can be partially attributed to her poor relationship with the press, whom she refused to deal with cordially in many cases.
She was named the greatest female star in the history of Hollywood by the American Film Institute in 1999, although naturally some disagree with this assessment. Two items.
