Hepburn

de bene esse: literally, of well-being, morally acceptable but subject to future validation or exception


Katharine Hepburn would have been 106 today -- and we have no doubt that the feistiest of the Old Hollywood-era stars would still be going strong and doing things like swimming in Connecticut during the dead of winter.) Hepburn would give guidance about anything from the most stylish way to wear pants to the secret to a loving relationship.

Yet, the real life lessons could be found in one of her many fabulous on-screen roles. Here they are:

Lesson #1: Always be honest about one's feelings, even if you're facing someone as handsome as Cary Grant. (Also: Add a statement collar for extra flair.)



Lesson #2: Revenge can be the small, subtle gesture delivered with a smile.



Lesson #3: Take advantage of every opportunity.




Lesson #4: Dance like no one's watching, and knock over couches like no one cares.
