Description: HEPBURN, KATHARINE. The Making of the African Queen or How I Went To Africa With Bogart, Bacall and Huston and Almost Lost My Mind. New York: Knopf, 1987. First Edition, Fourth Printing. Signed and inscribed by the author / actress Katharine Hepburn at the half-title: “For Patrick, Katharine Hepburn, Ever grateful”. Illustrated throughout with black & white stills and production photos of the making of the classic adventure / romance film The African Queen based on the novel by C.S. Forester, adapted for the screen by James Agee and the film’s director John Huston, starring Katharine Hepburn, Humphrey Bogart, Robert Morley, Theodore Bikel, and Peter Bull. This is Hepburn’s memoir from the film, with this by her from the jacket flap: “This book will tell you what it was like for me to meet John Huston, Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall in London and in Africa for the first time. To work with them nonstop for about three months. And why - come hell or high water through thick and thin, for better and for worse, but not quite until death did we part. It was great fun.” Fine copy in a fine dust jacket. Hepburn signed a quantity for the publisher and inscribed copies to friends but many of the copies that have appeared on the market are forgeries. This one is fully authentic.
