Kathryn Hepburn

So admired this lady
Anyway - she had a severe problem with her neck tremble, an aunt of mine had the same - anyone know why and what this is down to ........

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

she suffered from Essential tremor Patsy, closely related to Parkinson's

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

Thanks Honey

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

you're welcome girlie!

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

Oooo girlie .......
Is that an Aussie term ?

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

nah! I've always said it as did my mum, mind you, she used the term when I'd been a bad girlie

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

Loved Katharine Hepburn films especially Bringing up Baby with Cary Grant.
That was hilarious.
Mind you she was 96 when she died so many things could have happened
to her body during that time. Her neck wobbling was old age in my mind
whatever they call it nowadays.
Sorry to hear of your relative Patsy. Hope she is OK.

Re: Kathryn Hepburn

Thanks Sandy - my aunt passed a long time ago .....
I noticed the problem for Kathryn in a John Wayne movie, don't know how old she was then - she always looked the same to me ........
I guess it could be down to wear and tear on the neck area, arthritis maybe, my aunt was 60 when she had it, and I get bouts of it, I do have neck problems, so I guess its down to that ........
