Does Katherine Hepburn
...think Amanda is a ex-plantation-slave?
Her southern mannerisms are way beyond over-the-top.
She was playing a southern woman who exaggerated her pristine upbringing and wanted to keep an outmoded manner going.

I lived down South years ago and actually met some 'Amanda Wingfields' (southern gentlewomen in difficult circumstances). Katherine Hepburn is SUBTLE compared to the mannered way they talked and acted!
