On Wednesday, over 250 people packed into Sammy's at Legacy Village to lunch on artichoke-stuffed chicken, Caesar salad, strawberry soup, puff pastry cheese twists and madeleines, and to remember the fashion and cultural influence of Katharine Hepburn.
Jean Druesedow, director of the Kent State Museum, holds up the Katharine Hepburn postage stamp design unveiled at "Lunch With Kate," which previewed the Katharine Hepburn exhibit opening in October. Cleveland's postmaster, W. Spencer Hsu, participated in the stamp's presentation. He revealed that he chose the name "Spencer" as a young man because he watched a lot of Spencer Tracy movies.
The sold-out lunch benefit for the KSU Museum coincided with Hepburn's May 12 birthday. Dillard's prepared a show of Hepburn-inspired fashion: formal and comfy dresses, and lots of slacks.
Each person received a scented candle on the way out, and one person at each table took home the potted floral centerpieces: purple heliotrope, pink and white geraniums, yellow daisies, and pink New Guinea impatiens.
On wclv.com, listen to Jean Druesedow's April 29th WCLV on-air interview about the Hepburn exhibit plus an exclusive "web extra" chat about what Coco Chanel said when she heard Hepburn was to play her on stage.
