Katherine Hepburn in drag in the film Sylvia Scarlet

8/5/2020

 
The MGM publicity department did as much as they could to distract from the fact that their star, Katherine Hepburn, was in full drag during the film Sylvia Scarlett.

What's incredible: even today when you google "Sylvia Scarlett + Hepburn" all that comes up are the de-drag-i-fied publicity shots. Gone is the mustache and the swagger.

But! I snagged from screenshots! On my blog of Vintage Hollywood secrets and gossip I have some select shots of Katherine Hepburn in verified drag! You literally can't find these photos anywhere else.
