On this episode of Common Mystics Jen and Jill explore the mysterious death of Tom Hepburn*. Before she was a Hollywood legend, Katharine Hepburn was one six offspring of Dr. Thomas Hepburn and Katharine Houghton Hepburn. The children enjoyed a life of privilege, and were brought up in an environment of intellectual pursuits and social activism. Tom Hepburn, the eldest son and closest sibling to young Katharine, was bright, athletic, handsome and popular. He planned to attend Yale and John’s Hopkins in his father’s footsteps. Why, then, in 1921 was his life cut short at the tender age of 15?
