When Stahler learned about Hepburn's two great records, he seemed to see a ray of light in the darkness and decided to study it further. He thought,Maybe we'll get a break from her.
He dug up newspapers from the 1960s and found all the stories about Hepburn. Hepburn, for example, took eight years off acting, which was unprecedented in Hollywood history. Remember, back then, a year off as a movie star was the equivalent of the Rockefellers mothballing an oil well in Tennessee, and the damage was tangible. In addition, Stahler found that Hepburn was a goodwill ambassador 67 times, especially between 1956 and 1963, when she volunteered almost every month on the docks, in prisons and in black communities. At one point, she even turned down Bell's $50, 000-an-hour invitation to attend a hospital nursing service for a young boy. In short, Hepburn was very happy to do unpaid charity work.
