HARTFORD, Conn. (AP) - Actress Katharine Hepburn was discharged from Hartford Hospital Thursday morning after a week's stay for a minor infection. Hepburn was released just after 10 a.m. and returned to her home in Old Saybrook, hospital spokesman James Battaglio said. The four-time Academy Award winner was admitted July 18 for a urinary tract infection. Doctors said the 94-year-old Hepburn responded well to treatment soon after she was admitted but needed a few days to regain her strength and mobility. Past health problems included arthritis, pneumonia and Parkinson's-like tremors. During her 60-year career, Hepburn was nominated for a record-tying 12 Academy Awards and won for "Morning Glory," 1933; "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner," 1967; "A Lion in Winter," 1968; and "On Golden Pond," 1981.
