Amelia Posted June 30, 2003 Share Posted June 30, 2003 Katharine Hepburn dies at 96 Screen legend, icon of style, redefined roles for women OLD SAYBROOK, Conn., June 29 — Actress Katharine Hepburn died Sunday, leaving behind six decades worth of classic screen appearances that redefined America’s image of a leading lady. She was 96. []http://i.cnn.net/cnn/2003/images/06/29/top.main.hepburn.obit2.jpg[/] Actress Katharine Hepburn won a record four Academy Awards -- more than any other actor or actress -- and was nominated 12 times, which stood as a record until Meryl Streep surpassed that total in 2003. Old Saybrook authorities and the executor of Hepburn's estate, Cynthia McFadden, told The Associated Press that Hepburn died Sunday at 2:50 p.m. Hepburn's health had declined in recent years. A statement from her family was expected later Sunday.
