The niece of superstar Katharine Hepburn (her mother was Hepburn's sister), Katherine Houghton attended Sarah Lawrence College before making her Broadway bow in Ruth Gordon's A Very Rich Woman (1965) She was then cast as Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn's daughter--and Sidney Poiter's fiance--in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner. Though Houghton did go on to make other films, she spent the majority of her career onstage. In 1969, she won an Obie Award for her performance in Scent of Flowers. Three years later, she co-founded Kentucky's Pilgrim Repertory Theatre, then spent the next two decades appearing in one Broadway production after another. In the early 1990s she reemerged on the film scene as a character actress, essaying such roles as the "Cheese Lady" in The Night We Never Met (1993) and Mrs. Hale in Ethan Frome (1994). In addition to her extensive acting credits, Katharine Houghton is a prolific novelist, screenwriter and playwright. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Katharine Houghton
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Katharine Houghton, an American actress, was born Katharine Houghton Grant on March 10, 1945, in Hartford, Connecticut. She attended Sarah Lawrence College and majored in philosophy.
Katharine Houghton is best known for her role as Joanna "Joey" Drayton, the Caucasian ingenue with an African-American fiancé, whom she brings home to meet her parents, in the 1967 film Guess Who's Coming to Dinner.
Houghton was named after her maternal grandmother Katharine Hepburn (née Houghton), as was her maternal aunt Katharine Hepburn. Hepburn was instrumental in helping Houghton launch her career. The acting torch has been passed along in the family to actress Schuyler Grant, Houghton's niece.
Houghton has had an extensive career in film and theatre. She is also a playwright and has translated the works of others for the stage. In 1975, she wrote a children's story, "The Wizard's Daughter", which is collected in the book Two Beastly Tales, illustrated by Joan Patchen.
In 2004 she portrayed Mrs. Spaulding, one of the trustees of Indiana University, in the feature film Kinsey, starring Liam Neeson and Laura Linney.
She has not married or had children.^4,1,5,6
