KENT, OH.- The Kent State University Museum will be adopting the United States Postal Service’s newly-issued commemorative stamp on Katharine Hepburn as the official stamp for its highly anticipated exhibition on the legendary star’s personal collection of stage and film costumes. The KSU Museum exhibition, “Katharine Hepburn: Dressed for Stage and Screen,” opens October 2, 2010. Recognized as one of cinema’s greatest actresses and a universally acknowledged film legend, Katharine Hepburn (1907-2003) has influenced generations of women. Costumes in the collection given to the museum by her estate were designed by some of the greatest 20th century designers for fashion, stage and film. The announcement was made at a May 12 luncheon on Katharine Hepburn’s influence on fashion sponsored by Dillard’s department store. A framed image of the Hepburn commemorative stamp was presented to the museum
