She was clearly not another platinum blonde, nor a screen siren wrapped in sequins and ostrich feathers. <\/p>\n<p>The Katharine Hepburn who became an American icon was an original &#8212; and to a large degree, a product of pure self-invention. For it was Hepburn herself who carefully constructed and maintained her own myth and image from her earliest days in Hollywood, and through nearly 70 years on stage, screen, and television. A vivid, untamable creature, she was truly a star.  As she once said, &#8220;Show me an actress who isn&#8217;t a personality, and you&#8217;ll show me a woman who isn&#8217;t a star.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The lecture is offered through the Time Travelers partnership, which provides free museum admission for UNMC and Nebraska Medicine employees, students and their immediate families, with valid identification. The partnership also offers lectures, workshops and other events on the medical center.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amy Henderson of the Smithsonian National
