An exquisite demeanor can be attributed to this portrait of Hepburn by photographic portrait artist Clarence Bull. Never was her bone structure so elegantly and delicately presented. This to publicize her role in her return to film after a run on Broadway. From Broadway she brought back the script of her hit play by Phillip Barry, The Philadelphia Story. Audiences welcomed her back after a two-year leave and she was nominated for another Academy Award.
