Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in Woman Of The Year 1986 Pen & ink drawing on artists’ board and hand-signed limited edition etching |

Years ago I told my Gallery staff that I was expecting a telephone call from a particular gentleman. I said that when he telephoned, I should be interrupted regardless of what I was doing. Well, at the moment the expected call came, I was helping Katharine Hepburn to purchase her very first Hirschfeld drawing, that of Spencer Tracy in The Old Man And The Sea. As instructed, a Gallery staffer interrupted me and I left Miss Hepburn standing all alone in order to take the call in private. I suppose Miss Hepburn couldn’t have been too offended, as she returned to the Gallery many times thereafter, always adding to her Hirschfeld collection. But what of the gentleman caller? His name was Julius Cohen, and I married him! |
