She was 96.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>  Town authorities and the executor of Hepburn&#8217;s estate, Cynthia McFadden, said Hepburn died Sunday at 2:50 p.m. at her home in Old Saybrook. She had been in declining health in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>  During her 60-year career, she won a record four Academy Awards and was nominated 12 times, which stood as a record until Meryl Streep surpassed her nomination total in 2003. Her Oscars were for &#8220;Morning Glory,&#8221; 1933; &#8220;Guess Who&#8217;s Coming to Dinner,&#8221; 1967; &#8220;A Lion in Winter,&#8221; 1968; and &#8220;On Golden Pond,&#8221; 1981.<\/p>\n<p>  Despite her success, Hepburn always felt she could have done more.<\/p>\n<p>  &#8220;I could have accomplished three times what I&#8217;ve accomplished,&#8221; she once said. &#8220;I haven&#8217;t realized my full potential.
