Get to the Katharine Hepburn Bits!

If youâ??re going to hunker down with a thousand-page biography of Spencer Tracy â?? specifically, James Curtisâ??s â??Spencer Tracy: A Biographyâ? â?? you may be somewhat interested in Tracyâ??s youth and school years, his career as a young actor in stock theater, his courtship of, and subsequent marriage to, his fellow actor Louise Treadwell. But what you really want to hear about is Tracyâ??s complex and sometimes fraught relationship with Katharine Hepburn, an open secret that spanned some 25 years, even though Tracy never divorced his wife.
