In October 1990, Hepburn went to Vietnam, in an effort to collaborate with the government for national UNICEF-supported immunisation and clean water programmes. In September 1992, four months before she died, Hepburn went to Somalia. Calling it "apocalyptic", she said, "I walked into a nightmare. I have seen famine in Ethiopia and Bangladesh, but I have seen nothing like this – so much worse than I could possibly have imagined. I wasn't prepared for this." [106] Though scarred by what she had seen, Hepburn still had hope stating:

I’ve also found that having such a versatile radio in the house is great for family life. We have this one in the livingroom and a VQ Hepburn MK II in the kitchen. We listen to them every day and one of my daughter’s favourite things to do in the morning is to have a family dance in the kitchen. Meeting in 1941, when she was 34 and he was 41, Tracy was initially wary of Hepburn, unimpressed by her dirty fingernails and suspecting that she was a lesbian, but Hepburn said she "knew right away that [she] found him irresistible". [276] Tracy remained married throughout their relationship. Although he and his wife, Louise, had been living separate lives since the 1930s, there was never an official split and neither party pursued a divorce. [277] Hepburn did not interfere.

Hepburn's final appearance in a theatrically released film, and her first since Grace Quigley nine years earlier, was Love Affair (1994). At 87 years old, she played a supporting role, alongside Annette Bening and Warren Beatty. It was the only film of Hepburn's career, other than the cameo appearance in Stage Door Canteen, in which she did not play a leading role. [229] Roger Ebert noted that it was the first time she had looked frail, but that the "magnificent spirit" was still there, and said her scenes "steal the show". [230] A writer for The New York Times reflected on the actress's final big-screen appearance: "If she moved more slowly than before, in demeanor, she was as game and modern as she had ever been." [219] Hepburn played her final role in the television film One Christmas (1994), for which she received a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination at 87 years old.

Hepburn's legacy has endured long after her death. The American Film Institute named Hepburn third among the Greatest Female Stars of All Time. She is one of few entertainers who have won Academy, Emmy, Grammy and Tony Awards. She won a record three BAFTA Awards for Best British Actress in a Leading Role. In her last years, she remained a visible presence in the film world. She received a tribute from the Film Society of Lincoln Center in 1991 and was a frequent presenter at the Academy Awards. She received the BAFTA Lifetime Achievement Award in 1992. [141] She was the recipient of numerous posthumous awards including the 1993 Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award and competitive Grammy and Emmy Awards. In January 2009, Hepburn was named on The Times ' list of the top 10 British actresses of all time. [141] In 2010, Emma Thompson opined Hepburn "can't sing and she can't really act"; some people agreed, others disagreed. [142] Hepburn's son Sean later said "My mother would be the first person to say that she wasn't the best actress in the world. But she was a movie star." [143] Waxwork of Hepburn at Madame Tussauds, London I have the Retro MK II in Emma Bridgewater’s iconic polka dot pattern (which I was given by VQ), as you can see in these pictures that I took at home in my livingroom. At first, I wasn’t really sure how an Emma Bridgewater pattern would sit in my livingroom as the room has quite an industrial influence. However, the polka dot pattern is a perfect addition and I think it looks really great against the moss green walls. The dark green dots are almost a perfect colour match to the wall colour.

Ros Horton and Sally Simmons included her in their book Women Who Changed The World, which honors 50 women who helped shape world history and culture. She is also named in Encyclopædia Britannica 's list of "300 Women Who Changed the World", [233] Ladies Home Journal's book 100 Most Important Women of the 20th century, [314] Variety magazine's "100 Icons of the Century", [315] and she is number 84 on VH1's list of the "200 Greatest Pop Culture Icons of All Time". [316] In 1999, the American Film Institute named Hepburn the " greatest American screen legend" among females. [317] She had been offered the scholarship already in 1945, but had had to decline it due to "some uncertainty regarding her national status". [44] During the summer of 1976, Hepburn starred in the low-budget family film Olly Olly Oxen Free. The feature failed to find a major-studio distributor and was finally released independently in 1978. Because of its poor distribution, it played in relatively few theaters, resulting in one of the biggest misfires of Hepburn's career. The screenwriter James Prideaux, who worked with Hepburn, later wrote that it "died at the moment of release" and referred to it as her "lost film". [209] Hepburn claimed the main reason she had done it was the opportunity to ride in a hot-air balloon. [210] The television movie The Corn Is Green (1979), which was filmed in Wales, followed. It was the last of ten films Hepburn made with George Cukor, and gained her a third Emmy nomination. [211] vrijdag 6 mei 2011, 07u26.
