About this listen

WWII Veterans Tony Varone and Donald Pearce and Katherine Hepburn biographer Barbara Leaming on this archive edition of Fresh Air. Varone remembers V.E. Day. He served in the 9th Infantry Division which fought in Europe. He now is Commander of VFW POST in Long Island, New York. Pearce fought in Europe in the Canadian Army and kept a diary during his tour of duty. His 1965 book Journal of a War chronicles the battles fought in Belgian and the Netherlands. Leaming's written a biography of Katharine Hepburn, in which she places the actress' life in the context of her family's history: one of tragic and political importance. Katherine Hepburn's grandfather committed suicide, as did her brother. In fact Hepburn discovered the body of her 15 year old brother. Hepburn's mother was a major figure in the radical suffrage movement, and a friend of Margaret Sanger. Leaming is also the author of a biography of Orson Welles.
