Katharine Hepburn, the actress whose independent life and strong-willed movie characters made her a role model for generations of women and a beloved heroine to filmgoers for more than 60 years, died on Sunday at her home in Old Saybrook, Conn. She was 96.
She played sharp-witted, sophisticated women with an ease that suggested that there was a thin line between the movie role and the off-screen personality.
Her life and career were dominated by her love affair with Spencer Tracy, which created one of the great romantic legends and brilliant movie pairings of their day.

Each playing off a movie milestone or film that opened this year, Globe writers range far and wide with their picks.
"Spitfire'' (1934) Hepburn tries with misguided enthusiasm to wrap her Hartford vowels around the role of a faith-healing hillbilly named Trigger Hicks.
Actually, this is the worst movie the actress ever made, but it's so insanely wrong that it rewards viewing, especially after a few drinks.

Late in the day on November 16, 1933, the last scene of Spitfire (1934) was not yet in the can.
Under the terms of her contract, Hepburn was actually to have been released from Spitfire one day earlier, on November 15.
Spitfire died at box office and marked the beginning of a string of duds which would lead in a few years to Hepburn being labeled "box-office poison." Seen now, it's a fascinating example of a star playing against type because it demonstrates both the strengths and weaknesses of the star's persona.

Audiences were shocked at her unconventional behavior instead of applauding it, and so when she returned to Broadway in 1934 to star in "The Lake", the critics panned her and the audiences, who at first bought up tickets, soon deserted her.
She and Spencer Tracy acted together in 9 movies: Adam's Rib (1949), Desk Set (1957), Keeper of the Flame (1942), Pat and Mike (1952), The Sea of Grass (1947), State of the Union (1948), Without Love (1945), Guess Who's Coming to Dinner (1967) and Woman of the Year (1942).
She was nominated again for her next film, Woman of the Year (1942) which cast her as an opinionated newspaper columnist opposite Spencer Tracy (as a down-to-earth sportswriter).

Hepburn made the first of her several television movies in 1975, co-starring with Sir Laurence Olivier in Love Among the Ruins -- and winning an Emmy award, as well.
