The Classic Dames Test
Your Score: Katharine Hepburn
You scored 14% grit, 52% wit, 38% flair, and 2% class!
You are the fabulously quirky and independent woman of character. You go your own way, follow your own drummer, take your own lead. You stand head and shoulders next to your partner, but you are perfectly willing and able to stand alone. Others might be more classically beautiful or conventionally woman-like, but you possess a more fundamental common sense and off-kilter charm, making interesting men fall at your feet. You can pick them up or leave them there as you see fit. You share the screen with the likes of Spencer Tracy and Cary Grant, thinking men who like strong women.

(Katherine also said, “Life is to be lived. If you have to support yourself, you had bloody well better find some way that is going to be interesting. And you don’t do that by sitting around wondering about yourself.” Amen).
You’ve been kind of bored, lately, haven’t you ?
Insomnia.
Yawn. Wimbledon starts up in two hours, though.
Weird, weird, I got 7 of 10 on the computer generated images and scored a Hepburn on this one (though I was hoping for a Mae West.) Maybe it’s no wonder I like your blog.
Although I DO think you rock for only having 2% class, I’m presently rather preoccupied with my own score:
14% grit, 33% wit, 33% flair and 26% class. Apparently, that makes me Jean Arthur . . . AND I DON’T EVEN KNOW WHO SHE IS! Netflix, how you have failed me. And all this time I thought I was Myrna Loy.
Wunx. . . creepy! Are we clones?
mdvlst: Jean Arthur, via Wikipedia:
She remains, arguably, the quintessential female exemplar of the 1930s/1940s film genre known as screwball comedy. “No one was more closely identified with the screwball comedy than Jean Arthur. So much was she part of it, so much was her star personality defined by it, that the screwball style itself seems almost unimaginable without her.”
That’s flattering. . . you screwball! (I can say these things because I have only 2% class).
Aw, come on– screwball? Now, if I had an article in “Cultural Studies of the Modern Middle Ages,” THEN maybe . . . .
