Post.I have had several people state that I reminded them of Katherine Hepburn. In my youth that was sad to me, I would rather have been compared to Audrey Hepburn, but alas. I am not a pixie, I am brash. So I developed a love for Katherine Hepburn. My favorite of her portrayal's is Miss Tess Harding, from 'Woman of the Year'. I even copied her calling card. She is competent, confident....well, woman of the year. I like the scene where Sam (played by Spencer Tracey) and she meet for the first time. She is in the editor's office straightening her stockings and Sam walks in, sees those legs and is a goner. It is a good movie about not being it all and making concessions.
Emily Post is the consummate lady. I love to read her writing. She was born 100 years exactly before me, had the luxury of being born into money, etc. And yet I aspire to her gentility. I read her books to prepare for any social function and her book 'Children are People Too', is very good. Good parenting advice. On my tea bag recently I had the note, 'Let your manners speak for you'. I think Emily would agree with that.
