OLD SAYBROOK, Conn. (AP) ­ Katharine Hepburn has said bye-bye to New York City ­ she's found her golden pond in Connecticut.

"She'll never go back to New York. She has a good setup at her family home here," her brother-in-law, Ellsworth Grant, said Wednesday.

The 89-year-old actor, the winner of four Academy Awards during a 60-year career, recently put her Manhattan brownstone up for rent, and she's been enjoying looking out at the water at her coastal Connecticut retreat.

She has no life-threatening diseases but "has the disease of old age," Grant said.

"She walks a little, talks a little. Her memory is pretty much gone," he said. "She could live like she is for five years or more or she could die tomorrow."

Hepburn, who starred in The African Queen, On Golden Pond and numerous other films, has had various health problems in the last decade, including hip replacement surgery, arthritis and an incurable eye infection.
