    If you read biographies, is there any one person you've read more books about than the others?

    Of all the people I read about there really aren't a lot that come to mind that I've been able to read more than one book on...but I think the one I've read most on, with a total of 3 books (go ahead and laugh), is James Dean, there's James Dean the Mutant King, James Dean: Short Life, and the biography James Dean by George Perry. Coming in second would be Katharine Hepburn with her autobiography Me: Stories of My Life, and the biography by Gary Carey, I'd also started reading on the one by Charles Higham but never got far in it. Though I have 2 or 3 books on W.C. Fields, but I haven't gotten around to reading them yet.

    Anybody else?

    I can't guess a number. Any one that I find on him that I haven't read, I'll read. Some of them have been total trash though. I hate it when they get pertinent details wrong.

    Did you know that Katharine Hepburn was related to Mary, Queen of Scots, whom incidentally she portrayed in a movie once, and absolutely despised and said it was no wonder her head was cut off?

    I knew they were related, and I knew she played her, but didnt know she hated her! lol

    that lady had to deal with a lot of crap... especially while pregnant. people plotting against her, even her husband. She was like 5 months pregnant and rode horseback on a difficult journey to save herself from plotters and protect her baby, James I who translated the bible into english.
