Katharine Hepburn played the small town Indiana girl who wants to improve her social status in this adaptation of Booth Tarkington’s Pulitzer Prize-winning 1921 novel. Walter Plunkett designed a simple contemporary-to-1935 wardrobe for her, but for this glamour portrait she wears a lace and crocheted top with diamond clips.
