re hughes yes i think you're right that they were no longer lovers at that time but you didn't change was her lover to had been her lover you just deleted the entire paragraph which i dispute instead i propose with the help of howard hughes who at one time had been her lover she purchased the rights to the play and turned it into a hit movie the movie was very important to her career and it's an interesting and pertinent detail that hughes was so involved in helping her make it a reality i certainly don't want to perpetuate errors but let's talk about how to fix them instead of just deleting information wholesale re hepburn and tracy's living situation what would you suggest instead how about something like hepburn and tracy were undeniably a couple but only lived together regularly until the last few years of tracy's life even then they maintained separate homes to keep up appearances re the hughes hepburn engagement i believe there was a nyt article that announced their engagement or announced that it was off but i haven't had time yet to find it re hepburn and smith's marriage from higham the marriage was a disaster kate had such a horror of domesticity that the whole experience was a nightmare she evidently realized that she had married on a whim and that marriage was totally incompatible with her need for absolute freedom of thought and action three weeks after the marriage took place the couple separated faced with the fact that he had a failed marriage luddy sensibly decided to continue with kate on a platonic basis she remained legally married to him for several years do you have something that refutes this i'd be glad to source it specifically to higham in the text of the article if you like
