A new biography of Katherine Hepburn reveals her admiration for John Travolta, fascination with Michael Jackson and intense dislike of Meryl Streep as an actress.

Kate Remembered is an intimate account of the screen legend's life and thoughts, but includes few revelations.

The author, Pulitzer-prize winning biographer Scott Berg, based the book on two decades of conversation with Hepburn, who had cooperated on condition it be published only after her death.

Hepburn died on June 29 at the age of 96.
