Tremor

[edit]

Today the article says "By the 1980s, Hepburn had developed a noticeable tremor, giving her a permanently shaking head." Is it just me—or isn't this already obvious in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, in 1967, well before the 1980s? I also have the uncertain recollection that she mentioned this in her talk with Dick Cavett, in the fall of 1973.

I thought I recalled it even during Suddenly, Last Summer (1959), although I haven't watched that film in quite a while. Perhaps the traumatic shoot and infuriating Monty treatment triggered it, or even added some elasticity to Hepburn's projectile expectoration aimed towards Mankiewicz—my fave Hollywood folktale. --Cinemaniac86TalkStalk 00:28, 18 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
