SCMP Reporter

Kate Remembered looks set to be the final word on  Katharine  Hepburn. Following a 20-year friendship with the Hollywood icon, A.Scott Berg agreed to publish his biography after the star's death.

Spike Milligan, Humphrey Carpenter's take on the late British comedian, is released next week.

Readers of weightier taste might go for Benjamin Franklin: An American Life by Walter Isaacson, or the piles of George Orwell bios marking the centenary of his birth.

Try Orwell: The Life by D.J. Taylor, Gordon Bowker's George Orwell  or Orwell's Victory by Christopher Hitchens.
