Katharine Hepburn:–“Show me a actress who isn’t a personality and you’ll show me a woman who isn’t a star!”

Katharine Hepburn had a charming charisma that radiated her own unique persona throughout her life that was irresistible, high spirited, and defined her special presence as a trail blazing independent women and one of the true super stars of all times.

Author Ronald Bergan’s timing was perfect as he was the only person to whom Ms. Hepburn gave her “personal blessings” to write this wonderful book, Katharine Hepburn, An Independent Woman!

So many previous biographies had not been accurate and Ms.Hepburn was quite angry. She “allowed” Ronald Bergan into her apartment in New York City, to set the record straight and write this book! Mr. Bergan described her reflections,“perceptive” and penetrating”…”These are not the sound bites of a Hollywood celebrity but of an aging beauty re-examinig her past with a critical eye.”

This is a beautiful book with stunning photographs of Katharine Hepburn in various stages of her life,”on and off the set”, along with some of her phenomenal vivacious full color “Head Shots.” Most of these are “full page” pictures, and truly treasures to behold!

Ms.Hepburn was way ahead of her time, and in Mr.Bergan’s book you’ll be able to capture the essence of her many diversions from the composed “Katharine Hepburn”. Through it all, however, you’ll see that Katharine Hepburn “always remained her own woman!”

This amazingly well written book will capture your attention as it wisks away all the “mythological perceptions” of the “starlet”, and “unveils the real woman!”

Katharine Hepburn An Independent Woman easily receives a 5-Star review, and I encourage you to visit : http://www.arcadepub.com/book/?GCOI=55970108553640& to purchase your personal copy.

We are always hearing that we need to wear sunscreen every day and study’s prove that the benefits of daily sunscreen use are real and measurable. I am always looking for a broad spectrum sunscreen lotion that reduces the risk of skin cancer and premature aging. It is very important to me as I spend my summers living on the beach and exercising outdoors. Doing research on sunscreen, I learned that “Broad Spectrum” means UVA coverage which prevents and delays aging and reduces skin cancer. I came across OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 which is non-comedogenic, hypoallergenic, non-acnegenic, and dermatologist tested. It is PABA free and fragrance free for all skin types which is my number one priority. OBAGI Sun Shield is formulated with 10.5% zinc oxide and 7.5% octinoxate which is a complete anti-aging sun protection with UVB absorption and UVA blockage and helps prevent sunburn.

OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is an award winning sunscreen which provides a high level of protection against harmful UVA and UVB rays. I loved applying it to my skin, it was non greasy and completely sheer with an elegant matte finish that feels great on your skin. It dried without residue or shine. OBAGI Sun Shield did not feel like I had a sunscreen on. My skin felt rich. OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 (3 oz.) suggested retail price is $46.00 and available for purchase in dermatology, plastic surgery, and other aesthetic physicians’ offices. OBAGI Sun Shield Matte Broad Spectrum SPF 50 is one of the best sunscreens I ever used….. healthy ingredients, no sunburns, reduces skin cancer, and prevents aging!  Worth every penny!
