“I can remember my first meeting with David,” says Hepburn. “I went over to London, I met him, and I thought, ‘Oh, you’re a charming man.’ Then I met his wife, who was Ann Todd, and I could see that Ann Todd quickly asked me to tea, to see whether I would fall in love with David. Because everybody fell in love with him.
“But,” Hepburn insists, “I was in love with Spencer, so I had the most impersonal feelings toward the male sex!”
Hearing her own statement, she laughs so heartily that her next remark is nearly indistinguishable. Asked to repeat, she calms down and says, “So we became great friends, David and I. And we have remained, for years, friends.”
