“I never in my life worked with a woman who had the smell of drama that this woman has. She is so feminine— she’s a man’s woman.” … It was late at night. Two or three more days of shooting remained. Hepburn had been in bed since 8. Wayne, as usual, had a bottle of Commemerativo tequila in front of him. “Imagine,” he mused softly, “how she must’ve been at age 25 or 30… how lucky a man would’ve been to have found her.”

- John Wayne [People Magazine, Nov. 18, 1974]

bonaventures: People have asked me what was it about Spence that made me stay with him for nearly thirty years. And this is somehow impossible for me to answer. I honestly don’t know. I can only say that I could never have left him. He was there— I was his. Katharine Hepburn | Me: Stories of My Life
