==Production== In pre-production, the script had been tailored to fit the talents of [[Constance Bennett]], then [[RKO]]'s biggest attraction. However, when newcomer [[Katharine Hepburn]] read the script, she convinced producer [[Pandro S. Berman]] that she was born to play the part, and she was given the role over the more popular Bennett, who was thereupon reassigned to ''[[Bed of Roses (1933 film)|Bed of Roses]]'' (1933). When RKO bought the rights to the play from [[ZoΓ« Akins]], it still hadn't been produced on stage. It eventually saw a limited stage run in 1939.<ref name=AFI/> The director Lowell Sherman managed to get the RKO bosses to agree that he was given a week of rehearsal with the actors before the shooting began, in return for promising a shooting schedule of only 18 days (April 21 - May 12, 1933).<ref name=AFI/> Unlike most feature films, ''Morning Glory'' was shot in the same sequence as the script. Katharine Hepburn was paid $2,500 per week for her work on the picture, for which she eventually won her first [[Academy Award for Best Actress]].<ref name=AFI/>
