Some movie stars of that era were like Audrey and Gary Cooper ,known primarily from the roles they played in movies and in theatre, while other stars such as Katherine Hepburn and Elizabeth Taylor were known most from how they conducted their private lives.

Taylor in A Place in the Sun and Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf are two of my favorites of hers. In the 1960s and later I agree she became mostly a way to sell gossip and celebrity magazines.
“Meryl Streep was [Hepburn’s] least favourite actress onscreen,” Berg writes in Kate Remembered. It seems that Hepburn was fixated on Streep, utterly dumbfounded by the praise of an actor she deemed sub-par. Berg recalls Hepburn deriding Streep’s technique: “‘Click, click, click,’ she said, referring to the wheels turning inside [Streep’s] head.”
