Features: U.S. President George W. Bush and his wife Laura Bush praised her as a "national treasure," saying: "Katharine Hepburn brought endless joy to audiences throughout her 60-year career in show business with her excellence. We admire her intelligence and wisdom; she will be forever remembered as a valuable artistic treasure of our nation." Elizabeth Taylor described her as "charming," saying: "All actresses in the world look at her with respect. We never envy her because she is so elegant, wise, and charming. Seeing her makes us wish we could be like her." Renowned film critic Montaigne called her an "American symbol," saying: "Her personal charm is more memorable than her fame. I believe it is justified to call her a symbol of America. She portrayed so many independent and strong female characters on screen, and off screen, she also set an example for women."
