When I got the notion to try a "Classic" version of Knitters' Hunk and Knitters' Chick, I didn't have a clear idea of who might win the women's edition. I was fairly sure, though, that Cary Grant would win among the men. Just a hunch. I would have been able to use this photograph, which, if you ask me, is heart-stopping.
If not Cary Grant, then probably Paul Newman, I thought. It's still overwhelming that pictures of the two of them together exist.
Rickman never occurred to me. I still don't think of him as "gone," maybe. When he was nominated, though, I suspected he'd win. There's a bit of loop-closing there --- first KH, first two-time KH winner, first KH Classic.
Katharine Hepburn's victory makes me very happy. As I say, I nominated her myself. Hannah's middle name is "Katharine," for her, and we are very hard on that "a"-not-"e" thing. I know that we probably shouldn't worship other human beings, but to me, Hepburn is a marvel. A wondrous, pugnacious, enduring marvel.

Thanks for the Cary Grant pictures. I once spoke to him on the phone! Not for long; just to tell him the car we were repairing for him was ready. Needless to say I didn't expect him to answer his own phone, and when I heard that "ello" I nearly forgot what I was supposed to say!
Oh, and I agree with you about Hepburn, totally. Thanks for doing this.
Yup - both excellent, classic choices!
