The poll was conducted by a women's magazine ("Ladies Home Journal" I
think--but don't quote me.)  Unfortunately, I remember looking at a
reprint of the results and thinking that Ms. Hepburn didn't fit.  All
the other winners were extremely traditional--were mostly 1st ladies
and starlets.  Judging from where the poll was run it is doubtful that 
any men answered it, and it was probably mostly responded to by older 
women.  Does anyone know the exact results and the demographics?

Katherine Hepburn was married--for about 6 years, I think.  She divorced
her husband in Mexico.  Her husband divorced her in the States a few years
later.  Did she have any children?  I don't remember.
