OFF SCREEN HE WAS A VERY ORDARY HUMAN BEG, A MAN BET WH ALL KDS OF PROBLEMS. HE WAS A VLENT ALHOLIC HIS ENTIRE LIFE AND A RAMPANT WOMANIZER WHO HAD ALMOST AS MANY NQUTS TO HIS NAME AS GABLE ALTHOUGH, UNLIKE ‘THE KG’, HE IS ALLEGED TO HAVE TAKEN MALE LOVERS AS WELL. WHEN HE WENT ON A ‘BENR’, WHICH WAS OFTEN, HE WAS KNOWN AT TIM TO MOLISH HOTEL ROOMS A LA CHARLIE SHEEN.AS A YOUTH HE WAS THROWN OUT OF HALF A DOZEN GRAMMAR SCHOOLS, THE ONLY SUBJECT HE HANDLED WH RELATIVE EASE BEG DRAMA. THERE IS NO DOUBT HE BEME ONE OF THE GREATT MOVIE ACTORS HISTORY, AN ACHIEVEMENT MA MORE MEROR WHEN WE NSIR THAT HE ME TO THE SCREEN WH VIRTUALLY NO STAGE EXPERIENCE BEHD HIM. ALL THE OTHER GREATS SUCH AS BRANDO, OLIVIER AND BETTE DAVIS, BROUGHT A WEALTH OF STAGE EXPERIENCE WH THEM, BUT NOT TRACY.HE STARTED HIS MOVIE REER AT FOX 1930, MA SIXTEEN MOVI THERE, BUT ULD NOT TABLISH HIMSELF THE TOP ECHELON OF PERFORMERS. AND HE WAS TROUBLE WH A PAL ‘T’. HE RARELY SLEPT, SUFFERED OM PRSN, HAD A HAIR-TRIGGER TEMPER, WAS OBSSED WH ATH – AND, MOST TROUBLOME OF ALL, HE WAS A HOPELS ALHOLIC. HE ALSO SCED STARLETS AT A RATE OF KNOTS FOR, REGARDLS OF HIS ISSU, THE MAN ULD CHARM THE BIRDS OUT OF THE TRE WHEN HE CHOSE TO. IN 1933 HE MA MAN’S CASTLE WH LORETTA YOUNG, AND THE UPLE BEGAN A TEMPTUO AFFAIR THAT LORETTA EVENTUALLY LLED OFF. WHY? BEE HER PRIT WOULD NOT GIVE HER ABSOLUTN FOR ‘DATG’ A MARRIED CATHOLIC MAN. TWO YEARS LATER SHE WOULD HAVE A CHILD TO THE EQUALLY MARRIED CLARK GABLE AFTER THEY MA THE CALL OF THE WILD TOGETHER. EVINTLY, HER PRIT WAS AWAY ON VATN OR SOMETHG.WH LORETTA YOUNG MAN’S CASTLEON HIS WEEK-LONG BENRS TRACY WOULD RENT A HOTEL ROOM, LOAD UP WH TWO OR THREE S OF WHISKEY, THEN SETTLE HIMSELF THE BATHTUB AND MENCE TO DRK. IN FACT, HE WOULD DRK HIMSELF UNNSC, WAKE UP; THEN DRK HIMSELF UNNSC AGA. AND HE WOULD NTUE THE CYCLE UNTIL THE BOOZE WAS GONE. THIS MIGHT TAKE SEVERAL DAYS, DURG WHICH TIME HE WOULD NOT LEAVE THE BATHTUB – FOR ANY REASON. FOX PUT UP WH HIS ABOMABLE BEHAVUR FOR FIVE YEARS BEFORE LLG QUS. CALLED TO THE HEAD OFFICE, HE WAS GIVEN AN ULTIMATUM. CURB HIS DRKG OR HIS NTRACT WOULD NOT BE RENEWED. HE LISTENED VERY ATTENTIVELY, THEN WALKED ACROSS THE STREET TO THE NEART SALOON AND GOT BLD DNK. HE THEN RETURNED TO THE OFFICE AND STROYED AND S NTENTS. FOX FIRED HIM THE NEXT DAY. MGM QUICKLY PICKED HIM UP. L B MAYER’S PROTéGé, IRVG THALBERG, KNEW TALENT WHEN HE SAW .IRVG THALBERGOF URSE, MGM KNEW OF TRACY’S PROBLEMS (EVERYONE THE DTRY DID), BUT THE STUD FIXERS, HOWARD STRICKLG AND EDDIE MANNIX, FORMULATED A PLAN TO NTROL HIM. A ‘TRACY SQUAD’ WAS CREATED, NSISTG OF FOUR ‘HEAVI’ WHOSE JOB WAS TO FOLLOW THE ACTOR AT ALL TIM. IF THEY SAW HIM ENTER A BAR OR A LIQUOR STORE THEY WERE TO IMMEDIATELY APPREHEND HIM AND NFISTE ANY BOOZE HE MIGHT HAVE ACQUIRED. THEY WOULD ALSO PAY OFF HOTELIERS IF HE HAPPENED TO GIVE THEM THE SLIP, GET PLASTERED, AND TRASH A ROOM. MGM NSIRED THE TROUBLE AND EXPENSE OF THE ‘TRACY SQUAD’ WAS WORTH , NVCED HE ULD MAKE MONEY FOR THE STUD. LOTS OF . AND THEY WERE RIGHT.WRER/PRODUCER JOSEPH MANKIEWICZ ONCE SAID OF TRACY: ‘NOBODY AT MGM GETS MORE SEX THAN SPENCER TRACY – EXCEPT FOR JOAN CRAWFORD.’ AMONG HIS OTHER LENGTHY RELATNSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE THIRTI AND FORTI WERE, MYRNA LOY, PLETTE GODDARD, HEDY LAMARR, JOAN BENT, INGRID BERGMAN, OLIVIA HAVILLAND AND HER SISTER JOAN FONTAE AND (LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE), JOAN CRAWFORD.

BY 1940, BOTH TRACY AND GARLAND HAD BOTH MOVED ON TO OTHERS, JUDY FALLG HEAD OVER HEELS FOR 28 YEAR-OLD BANDLEAR ARTIE SHAW. SHE FULLY EXPECTED HIM TO POP THE QUTN SOONER OR LATER. HE NEVER DID.

AND IS AT THIS POT, HE TURNS HIS HEAD AND LOOKS STRAIGHT AT HEPBURN, SHE RETURNS HIS LOOK AND AGA, THERE IS A PROTRACTED MOMENT OF THEIR STARG TO EACH OTHER’S EY. MOMENTS AFTER THAT SHOT THE MOVIE ENDS. THAT LOOK/GAZE WAS FACT THEIR CEMATIC GOODBYE.

SPENCER TRACY – A NIGHTMARE OF A MAN. AUGT 6, 2015 ADM DID YOU KNOW? 41 A PORTRA OF A YOUNG SPENCER TRACY (1900-1967). --- IMAGE BY © UNRWOOD & UNRWOOD/CORBIS AS AN ACTOR SPENCER TRACY HAD FEW PEERS AND CEMA-GOERS ADORED HIM. OFF SCREEN HE WAS A VERY ORDARY HUMAN BEG, A MAN BET WH ALL KDS OF PROBLEMS. HE WAS A VLENT ALHOLIC HIS ENTIRE LIFE AND A RAMPANT WOMANIZER WHO HAD ALMOST AS MANY NQUTS TO HIS NAME AS GABLE ALTHOUGH, UNLIKE ‘THE KG’, HE IS ALLEGED TO HAVE TAKEN MALE LOVERS AS WELL. WHEN HE WENT ON A ‘BENR’, WHICH WAS OFTEN, HE WAS KNOWN AT TIM TO MOLISH HOTEL ROOMS A LA CHARLIE SHEEN.AS A YOUTH HE WAS THROWN OUT OF HALF A DOZEN GRAMMAR SCHOOLS, THE ONLY SUBJECT HE HANDLED WH RELATIVE EASE BEG DRAMA. THERE IS NO DOUBT HE BEME ONE OF THE GREATT MOVIE ACTORS HISTORY, AN ACHIEVEMENT MA MORE MEROR WHEN WE NSIR THAT HE ME TO THE SCREEN WH VIRTUALLY NO STAGE EXPERIENCE BEHD HIM. ALL THE OTHER GREATS SUCH AS BRANDO, OLIVIER AND BETTE DAVIS, BROUGHT A WEALTH OF STAGE EXPERIENCE WH THEM, BUT NOT TRACY.HE STARTED HIS MOVIE REER AT FOX 1930, MA SIXTEEN MOVI THERE, BUT ULD NOT TABLISH HIMSELF THE TOP ECHELON OF PERFORMERS. AND HE WAS TROUBLE WH A PAL ‘T’. HE RARELY SLEPT, SUFFERED OM PRSN, HAD A HAIR-TRIGGER TEMPER, WAS OBSSED WH ATH – AND, MOST TROUBLOME OF ALL, HE WAS A HOPELS ALHOLIC. HE ALSO SCED STARLETS AT A RATE OF KNOTS FOR, REGARDLS OF HIS ISSU, THE MAN ULD CHARM THE BIRDS OUT OF THE TRE WHEN HE CHOSE TO. IN 1933 HE MA MAN’S CASTLE WH LORETTA YOUNG, AND THE UPLE BEGAN A TEMPTUO AFFAIR THAT LORETTA EVENTUALLY LLED OFF. WHY? BEE HER PRIT WOULD NOT GIVE HER ABSOLUTN FOR ‘DATG’ A MARRIED CATHOLIC MAN. TWO YEARS LATER SHE WOULD HAVE A CHILD TO THE EQUALLY MARRIED CLARK GABLE AFTER THEY MA THE CALL OF THE WILD TOGETHER. EVINTLY, HER PRIT WAS AWAY ON VATN OR SOMETHG.WH LORETTA YOUNG MAN’S CASTLEON HIS WEEK-LONG BENRS TRACY WOULD RENT A HOTEL ROOM, LOAD UP WH TWO OR THREE S OF WHISKEY, THEN SETTLE HIMSELF THE BATHTUB AND MENCE TO DRK. IN FACT, HE WOULD DRK HIMSELF UNNSC, WAKE UP; THEN DRK HIMSELF UNNSC AGA. AND HE WOULD NTUE THE CYCLE UNTIL THE BOOZE WAS GONE. THIS MIGHT TAKE SEVERAL DAYS, DURG WHICH TIME HE WOULD NOT LEAVE THE BATHTUB – FOR ANY REASON. FOX PUT UP WH HIS ABOMABLE BEHAVUR FOR FIVE YEARS BEFORE LLG QUS. CALLED TO THE HEAD OFFICE, HE WAS GIVEN AN ULTIMATUM. CURB HIS DRKG OR HIS NTRACT WOULD NOT BE RENEWED. HE LISTENED VERY ATTENTIVELY, THEN WALKED ACROSS THE STREET TO THE NEART SALOON AND GOT BLD DNK. HE THEN RETURNED TO THE OFFICE AND STROYED AND S NTENTS. FOX FIRED HIM THE NEXT DAY. MGM QUICKLY PICKED HIM UP. L B MAYER’S PROTéGé, IRVG THALBERG, KNEW TALENT WHEN HE SAW .IRVG THALBERGOF URSE, MGM KNEW OF TRACY’S PROBLEMS (EVERYONE THE DTRY DID), BUT THE STUD FIXERS, HOWARD STRICKLG AND EDDIE MANNIX, FORMULATED A PLAN TO NTROL HIM. A ‘TRACY SQUAD’ WAS CREATED, NSISTG OF FOUR ‘HEAVI’ WHOSE JOB WAS TO FOLLOW THE ACTOR AT ALL TIM. IF THEY SAW HIM ENTER A BAR OR A LIQUOR STORE THEY WERE TO IMMEDIATELY APPREHEND HIM AND NFISTE ANY BOOZE HE MIGHT HAVE ACQUIRED. THEY WOULD ALSO PAY OFF HOTELIERS IF HE HAPPENED TO GIVE THEM THE SLIP, GET PLASTERED, AND TRASH A ROOM. MGM NSIRED THE TROUBLE AND EXPENSE OF THE ‘TRACY SQUAD’ WAS WORTH , NVCED HE ULD MAKE MONEY FOR THE STUD. LOTS OF . AND THEY WERE RIGHT.WRER/PRODUCER JOSEPH MANKIEWICZ ONCE SAID OF TRACY: ‘NOBODY AT MGM GETS MORE SEX THAN SPENCER TRACY – EXCEPT FOR JOAN CRAWFORD.’ AMONG HIS OTHER LENGTHY RELATNSHIPS THROUGHOUT THE THIRTI AND FORTI WERE, MYRNA LOY, PLETTE GODDARD, HEDY LAMARR, JOAN BENT, INGRID BERGMAN, OLIVIA HAVILLAND AND HER SISTER JOAN FONTAE AND (LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE), JOAN CRAWFORD. MANNIX AND STRICKLG ALSO KNEW THAT TRACY HAD BEEN SCG 17 YEAR-OLD JUDY GARLAND FOR THREE YEARS. ACRDG TO WRER EJ FLEMG, ALL OF MGM KNEW . BY 1940, BOTH TRACY AND GARLAND HAD BOTH MOVED ON TO OTHERS, JUDY FALLG HEAD OVER HEELS FOR 28 YEAR-OLD BANDLEAR ARTIE SHAW. SHE FULLY EXPECTED HIM TO POP THE QUTN SOONER OR LATER. HE NEVER DID. INSTEAD, HE ELOPED WH LANA TURNER. JUDY GARLAND CIR 1940 ARTIE SHAWIN 1943 TRACY MA A GUY NAMED JOE WH IRENE DUNNE AND VAN JOHNSON. WHILE REHEARSG THEIR LOVE SCEN HE WOULD WHISPER GRAPHIC TAILS IRENE’S EAR, LURIDLY TAILG WHAT HE WOULD DO TO HER SEXUALLY IF HE EVER GOT HER ALONE. THE VERY PRIM AND PROPER MISS DUNNE THREATENED TO WALK OFF THE PICTURE UNLS HE SISTED. AROUND THAT TIME JOHNSON WAS BADLY JURED A R CRASH. PRODUCTN WAS PUT ON HOLD BY LB MAYER UNTIL HE REVERED, BUT ONLY IF TRACY AGREED TO EASE UP ON DUNNE. TO HIS CRED HE AGREED, FOR ONCE PUTTG SOMEONE ELSE’S NEEDS AHEAD OF HIS OWN AND JOHNSON’S REER WAS SAVED.WH IRENE DUNNE A GUY NAMED JOEIN 1954, THE AGG TRACY HEARD ABOUT GRACE KELLY’S REPUTATN FOR NAILG OLR, MARRIED MEN, SO HE GAVE THE MAKERS OF BAD DAY AT BLACK ROCK AN ULTIMATUM. HE WOULD AGREE TO PROMOTE THE PICTURE, BUT ONLY IF THEY ARRANGED A DATE FOR HIM WH KELLY. THEY DID SO, AND THE 54 YEAR-OLD, WHE-HAIRED TRACY WED, DED AND BEDD HER THAT NIGHT.TRACY & GRACE DATGDURG THE THIRTI AND FORTI HE WOULD OFTEN STAY AT GAY DIRECTOR GEE COR’S HOME FOR DAYS AT A TIME.
