		The Hepburn Act empowered the ICC to change a railroad rate to one it considered "just and reasonable," after a full hearing of a complaint.

		In act one, the actress, first dripping from her daily swim, then slinky in a period playsuit and open-toed pumps, has fled to Fenwick after being dubbed " box-office poison " by the Hollywood press.
		She doesn’t wed the eccentric tycoon, but the act concludes, as the hurricane of 1938 starts to blow, with the delivery of a package from him, along with a note that reads, " Since your career is in the toilet, I thought I would buy you a plunger.
		Her head wobbling to indicate Parkinson’s disease, her hair the familiar tangled upsweep of gray curls, this older Hepburn is recovering from a broken ankle; she sports both a walking cast and a cane.

	Katherine Hepburn Comes Alive
		In the first act, 1938, Hepburn is shown in her country estate preparing her usual tea at five--emblem of the rich country squires of Connecticut.
		Hepburn is portrayed as a spoiled rich brat, full of egotism, a consummate snob, and a self indulgent, self-involved, prima donna.
		She captures very perfectly Hepburn's tremors, her creaking voice due to her illness, and, in a rather touching moment, recalls her brother's suicide and her father's refusal to acknowledge it.

	CNN.com - A new role for Capt. Janeway - Apr. 9, 2003
		Hepburn has returned home from California after being labeled "box-office poison" by theater owners because of a series of flops that followed a 1933 Oscar for her role in "Morning Glory." In the latest blow, she learns that she has lost the part of Scarlett O'Hara in "Gone With the Wind" to Vivien Leigh.
		It is during this act that Hepburn relates the painful story of having to cut down the body of her adored 15-year-old brother after he hanged himself.
		She said one big difference between her and Hepburn, who never had children, is that the latter had a "myopic focus on her career" while Mulgrew said her own life has been enhanced by the choice to have a husband and children.

		Mulgrew's acting embodies the idea that "life is in the details." But the true classiness of the actor's performance has little to do with the extent to which she imitates the physical qualities of the screen icon.
		Indeed, it is the physical side of Mulgrew's performance that propels Act 2 with its candid accounts of Hepburn's beloved brother Tom's suicide at the age of 15, her decision not to have children, and the ups and downs of her 27-year relationship with actor Spencer Tracy.
		Instead of grabbing the phone off the hook and barking into the receiver as she did in Act 1, the elderly Hepburn of Act 2 has quite a job simply deciphering the phone numbers in her address book thanks to her poor eyesight and twitching head.

		Biographies of Katharine Hepburn have expanded on how Spencer Tracy's darkness dragged on her lightness, how she cleaned up after him when he got smashed (once, he hit her).
		Our fiery heroine had to be damped, domesticated, cut down to size by her man. In the 1942 ‘‘Woman of the Year,'' the polyglot, glam foreign affairs columnist Tess Harding, based on the Herald Tribune's Dorothy Thompson, ends up in an apron cooking breakfast to woo her husband back.
		In his new memoir of his May-December friendship with Hepburn, A.Scott Berg, the Pulitzer Prize-winning biographer of Charles Lindbergh, Sam Goldwyn and Maxwell Perkins, writes that Kate was deeply ambivalent about ‘‘capitulating'' on the ending.

		Katherine Hepburn, in Act One at thirty-one years old, is striding around the living room of her Connecticut home talking to someone.
		And in Act Two, when Hepburn is seventy-six years old and seemingly much more the persona of a woman who guards her privacy and has secrets to keep, the question of why all this is happening becomes much more glaring.
		In Act One Hepburn is bitching about a string of recent flops, and spends time on the phone to her agent making it very clear to him that, of course, she's the only possible actress to play Scarlet O'Hara.

	Playbill Features: Great Kate!: Kate Mulgrew Plays Katharine Hepburn in Tea at Five
		Act One features Hepburn at age 31, in flight from Hollywood—where she has been branded box-office poison by Louis B. Mayer—and plotting her comeback; in Act Two, Hepburn is 76, reflecting upon her legendary life.
		Hepburn is not only one of the very the last living stars of her rank and caliber, but she is one of the 20th century's most notable personalities.
		This is one of Hepburn's finest performances—alternately heartbreaking and hilariously funny, altogether tenderly wrought, and a testament to her ability to fuse comedic and dramatic touches.

		Lombardo likes to say of the two Hepburns that Act I shows who she is, and Act II shows why she is who she is.
		The majority of Lombardo's latest revisions were in Act I. One of the scenes depicts a painful turning point in Hepburn's life -- her failure to win the coveted role of Scarlett O'Hara in Gone With the Wind.
		In spite of any dissent voiced by Hepburn's relatives, it seems obvious that the playwright has crafted a piece that is, on the whole, a celebration of the screen legend's unyielding spirit.

		Until you see her in the role, that is. And then you understand that the fierce Close is there to out-act Hepburn, who won an Oscar for her formidable, crowning performance in the 1968 version.
		Close is there to dazzle us with her chops, to turn Hepburn's fiendishly clever Eleanor of Aquitaine into a volcanic acting showcase.
		Still, the script's the thing in "The Lion in Winter." The familial loyalties and deceptions turn on a dime, and the rhythms of the dialogue trump the acting flaws.

		The Factory Act of 1889 set up the office and empowered it to hire six deputy inspectors—a man and a woman for each of the three regions of Pennsylvania, eastern, central, and western—to visit manufacturing sites.
		The act applied only to factories where any women or children were employed, so all-male workplaces could violate most of these provisions and go uncorrected or unpunished.
		Probably the greatest limitation of the original act was that a force of six inspectors was grossly inadequate to cover a state of the size and industrial complexion of Pennsylvania, especially when the only means of intercity travel was by horse and buggy, local passenger train, or trolley car.
