This is from an article in "The Closer" magazine. It's a magazine I never heard of and it's probably a tabloid, but they printed an excerpt from a new book, "In the Company of Legends," that two documentarians did about their interviews of people like Jimmy Stewart,Audrey Hepburn, Henry Fonda and Katherine Hepburn, among others.
The Closer printed a little excerpt about Katherine talking about the time Michael visited the set of "On Golden Pond". They didn't print the whole thing, because they want you to buy the magazine, but I thought it was cute. I never heard her talk about it before.
I remember watching her in interviews around this time, and this sounds the way she talked then-real bossy. Very different from the way she was in her relationship with Spencer Tracy.
Joan and David's book, 'In the Company of Legends.'
"I met Michael when I was up at Squam Lake in New Hampshire making On Golden Pond, and he came to visit Jane Fonda," Kate said. "They were already friends. She introduced him to me, and he was very soft-spoken and sweet."
"Then, Jane said to me, ‘I have to go back to LA for the weekend. Could you look after Michael?’ I said, ‘What the hell am I supposed to do with this kid? I hardly know him.’"
"'Oh, you’ll find things to do,’ she said. ‘He’s crazy about you.’ She’d found him a room in the attic of an old house. When I went there on Saturday morning, the room looked like a hurricane had hit it."
"I said, ‘Michael, clean up this place — right now.’ And he said, ‘Yes, Miss Hepburn,’ in a voice I could hardly hear, and he began picking up all those clothes and piling them on a chair. I said to him, ‘Don’t you ever do your laundry?’ And he said, ‘Someone usually does that for me.’"
"I said, ‘Come with me. We’re going to a laundromat just down the street.’" Kate showed Michael how to feed quarters into the washing machines.
