- TriviaAlthough his career spans thirty years, he is best known for his close relationship with Katharine Hepburn, having worked with her on many films, ultimately producing Truman Capote's "One Christmas" in which Kate made her final appearance on camera. John and writer Duane Poole crafted her final scene (with Swoosie Kurtz) in which Kate's character echoes Kate's personal philosophy..."I have always lived my life exactly as I wanted. I've tried to please no one but myself...but I'm entirely content. I can sit back in my old age and not regret a single moment, not wish to change a single thing. It's what I wish for you...a life with no regrets."
- QuotesWhile on a picnic together John asked Kate Hepburn why they shared such a close relationship, she said 'Don't analyze it, analysis requires a breaking apart and we certainly don't want that'
