Movie #1095 "Morning Glory" with Katherine Hepburn won her the first academy award of her career, and if you watch the the film, you can see why.  She plays this goofy, cute, dreamer of an actor----she is too naive to see the corruption of the people around her, and her ambition helps to blind her to some of it, as well.  There's not much to the story at all---- the only AA nom. went to her, and it is obvious why.  I didn't like the film much at all, but if you speed through it to her monologues, you might like this oldie.
