Katharine Hepburn

About 70% of one frame, from a movie 107 minutes long.

Yes, and significantly reduced in size.

There are comments referenced in the article about Hepburn's appearance in the film, noting her "frail" appearance, "magnificent spirit" and confident demeanor. This image illustrates those comments and allows the reader to understand what the critics are talking about (particularly when this image is referenced against earlier images of Hepburn, since the comments make comparisons to her earlier life, e.g. "she was as game and modern as she had ever been."). It is also highly beneficial for the article to document Hepburn's appearance in the final movie role of her long career.

No free image is available as the film is subject to copyright. Research has not uncovered any free images of Hepburn in this period of her life.

Fair use claim

• Full credit is given to the author of the work, and the copyright holder is clearly identified.
• The image is used purely for informational purposes, to aid the reader's understanding of Katharine Hepburn's life and career. The Wikimedia Foundation makes absolutely no profit from its appearance here.
• The use of the screenshot will not affect the value of the original work or limit the copyright holder's rights or ability to distribute the film. It does not give away any "spoilers" or show the film in a negative light, meaning it cannot negatively affect the market for the film. On the contrary, it gives wide exposure to the film and may provide awareness to individuals who previously had no knowledge of it, thus increasing the potential market for the film.
• A tiny proportion of the copyrighted property has been reproduced, and it is not a significant aspect of that material (ie, it reveals nothing about the film's story).
• The low resolution of the image makes it highly unlikely it will be used for piracy.
• The scene from which the screenshot was taken has previously been published on the internet, here, meaning access to this image was already widely available.
