NEW YORK, June 30 /U.S. Newswire/ -- Following is a statement of
Planned Parenthood Federation of America President Gloria Feldt on
the death of Katharine Hepburn:
"When Katharine Hepburn died yesterday at the age of 96, the world
lost one of the most dynamic and original screen actors of all time.
"We also lost a woman who was as independent, self-confident, and
forceful off screen as on in such films as Adam's Rib and Woman of
the Year.
"It is Planned Parenthood's great fortune to have been on the
receiving end of this woman's powerful advocacy for reproductive
freedom.
