- 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. IT WAS MOURED HE WOULD HAVE SEX WH YOUNG MALE IENDS OF COR’S WHEN THE URGE AROSE. YEARS LATER, SEVERAL SOURC CLAIMED THAT TRACY AND JOHN DEREK ALSO HAD A LENGTHY RELATNSHIP. INFORMED SOURC FURTHER CLAIM THAT HIS LONG-TERM RELATNSHIP WH KATHARE HEPBURN MAY NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN NSUMMATED, GIVEN THE AMBIVALENT SEXUALY OF BOTH PARTI.TRACY’S LOVER OR NOT?THERE WAS CERTALY GREAT AFFECTN DISPLAYED THE RELATNSHIP, SO WHETHER OR NOT WAS SIMPLY PLUTONIC IS BATABLE. HE STILL DISAPPEARED OM TIME TO TIME, UALLY TO HIS HOMETOWN OF MILWKEE, WHERE HE WOULD HOLE UP ONE OF S NUMERO SALOONS ON ONE OF HIS BENRS. KATE KNEW WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACK HIM DOWN, SO SHE DID NOT EVEN TRY. EVENTUALLY, HE WOULD DRY OUT AND RETURN TO HER.WH KATE THE EARLY YEARSTRACY WAS NOMATED FOR NE OSRS AND WON TWO – THE FIRST, SPE OF HIS ABOMABLE PORTUGUE ACCENT, FOR CAPTAS COURAGEO (1938), THE SEND FOR BOY’S TOWN A YEAR LATER. HE AND KATE MA NE MOVI TOGETHER, THE LAST OF THEM BEG 1967’S GUS WHO’S COMG TO DNER? JT SEVENTEEN DAYS AFTER S PLETN TRACY WAS AD. KATE HEARD A CUP CRASH TO THE FLOOR THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. HE HAD SUFFERED A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK, AND SHE FOUND HIM AD ON THE KCHEN FLOOR. FOR THE RT OF HER LONG LIFE SHE ULD NOT BRG HERSELF TO WATCH THE PICTURE. NOT WHOUT HIM BI HER.IN GUS WHO’S COMG TO DNER?A LOT HAS BEEN WRTEN ABOUT HIS STNCH CATHOLICISM PREVENTG TRACY OM DIVORCG HIS WIFE LOUISE AND MARRYG KATE, BUT HE OFTEN TOLD IENDS THAT BOTH WOMEN PREFERRED THE ARRANGEMENT AS STOOD. SO DID HE. HE AND LOUISE LIVED APART FOR MANY YEARS, BUT HE NEVER MOVED WH KATE EHER. THEY JT SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER ALTERNATG BETWEEN HIS PLACE AND HERS. OUT OF RPECT FOR TRACY’S FAY KATE DID NOT ATTEND HIS FUNERAL. SHE WOULD OUTLIVE HIM BY 36 YEARS, DYG 2003 AT THE AGE OF 96.I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF SPENCER TRACY THE ACTOR ALL MY LIFE. LIKE MOST MOVIE-GOERS I WAS TAKEN BY THE SEEMGLY EFFORTLS WAY HE PROJECTED TELLIGENCE AND TEGRY. HIS ACTG STYLE WAS RELAXED AND NATURAL. IT WAS FUN TO PARE HIS PERFORMANC WH, SAY, ERROL FLYNN’S. ERROL, MY OPN, WAS UNBELIEVABLY AWFUL. I STILL WATCH CAPTA BLOOD ON OCSN, JT TO REMD MYSELF OF HOW BAD A PLAYER N BE, YET STILL BEE A HUGE SUCCS. BUT TRACY WAS THE ULTIMATE MOVIE ACTOR. IT IS DISAPPOTG TO LEARN THAT THE MAN ULD NOT LIVE UP TO THE ACTOR.

AN ACTOR WAS SWGG ACROSS THE FORT TO A TREE, DRSED A GREEN OUTF REPLETE WH GREEN LEOTARDS. HE EXCLAIMED “WELE TO SHERWOOD!” PLEASE DON’T TRY AND BURST MY LONG-STANDG BUBBLE WH ERROL FLYNN. I CERTALY LIKED SPENCER TRACY AND THK HE WAS A WONRFUL ACTOR, BUT HE ULDN’T PULL OFF A “FALLG LOVE” WH THE SEXY TENSN. NO WAY…NO HOW.REPLY GARY MAY 22, 2023 AT 10:48 AM I RECENTLY WATCHED A DOCUMENTARY ABOUT KATHARE HEPBURN. NEVER REALIZED SHE WAS SO BETIFUL AND PLEX. THE BETY OF ALL TIME IS ELIZABETH TAYLOR.

THIS IS THE KD OF STORI THAT ALSO HAVE TO BE SHARED. EVEN MOTHER THREA WAS A HORRIBLE PERSON, SO THE STANDARDS OF THE STARS IS SHOULD NOT BE HELD SO HIGH. BUT THE MOVIE STARS WORKS WILL LAST/LIVE FOREVER.REPLY ALAN ROYLE JANUARY 10, 2022 AT 11:16 PM VERY LTLE ABOUT THE STARS BACK THE BIG STUD DAYS HOLDS UP TO CLOSE SCTY, TONY. IT WAS MOSTLY HYPE, IMAGE BUILDG (OR IMAGE MATAG) AND A LOT OF VERG UP. NOT EVERY STAR WAS WHAT HE OR SHE WAS PROJECTED AS BY THE STUD ‘FIXERS’. OF URSE, THAT DO NOT MEAN EVERYONE HAD CLAY FEET; NOT BY A LONG SHOT, BUT THE HEADS OF THE STUDS RAN TERFERENCE WHEN WAS REQUIRED. AND THEY WERE VERY GOOD AT .REPLY BOB NOVEMBER 18, 2021 AT 1:57 AM I THK YOU MEAN THAT HE GROOMED JUDY GARLANDREPLY DAVE MAY 21, 2021 AT 10:45 AM NO, ALAN. AFTER DREAD, 1930, HE APPEARED THE LAST MILE. ACRDG TO WIKIPEDIA, THE LAST MILE OPENED ON BROADWAY FEBARY, WHERE TRACY’S PERFORMANCE WAS MET BY A STANDG OVATN THAT LASTED 14 CURTA LLS. THE COMMONWEAL SCRIBED HIM AS “ONE OF OUR BT AND MOST VERSATILE YOUNG ACTORS”. THE PLAY WAS A H WH CRICS, AND RAN FOR 289 PERFORMANC.REPLY ALAN ROYLE MAY 24, 2021 AT 12:10 AM THANKYOU, DAVE. IF WIKIPEDIA IS ACCURATE (ALTHOUGH OFTEN ISN’T), I STAND RRECTED.REPLY DICK JON APRIL 5, 2021 AT 11:28 AM WHERE DID I HEAR THAT TRACY FOUND ROBERT RYAN, THE MAN, TO BE A SRY, TIMIDATG FIGURE?REPLY ALAN ROYLE APRIL 5, 2021 AT 12:09 PM I DON’T RELL THAT, DICK.

NOT EVERY STORY IS 100% FACTUAL BUT IS MOST TERTG TO READ AND ASSS EACH ONE AND THEN FORMULATE AN OPN ON WHAT IS BELIEVABLE AND WHAT IS NOT.REPLY KERRY APRIL 5, 2021 AT 8:56 AM THE STORY ABOUT JUDY GARLAND AND SPENCER IS FALSE NO DOUBT A PRODUCT OF THE DREADFUL DARW PORTER WHO SPREADS THIS SORT OF NONSENSE AROUND HIS FICTNAL BOOKS – JUDY GARLAND NEVER MA THIS CLAIM AND THEY HAD HAD ANY RELATNSHIPREPLY CHRISTOPHER WILSON SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 AT 10:58 AM AGA ANOTHER GREAT ARTICLE. I TOO PUT SPENCER TRACY VERY HIGH ON MY LIST OF GREAT ACTORS. POSSIBLY THE TOP. HOWEVER, TO BE FAIR, TO OTHER ACTORS, I’M NOT SURE HE REALLY HAD THE RANGE TO DO ANY KD OF PART. CAN I IMAGE SPENCER TRACY PLAYG LAWRENCE OF ARABIA? NOPE. I DO THK HE’D HAVE BEEN A GREAT KG LEAR THOUGH. MAYBE I’M NOT BEG FAIR. I GUS NO ACTOR/ACTRS N DO EVERY PART. AND LIKE I SAID, I LOVE SPENCER TRACY. I NOTED ONCE AN ARTICLE I ONCE DID ON SPENCER TRACY AND KATHARE HEPBURN THAT THEIR VERY FIRST SCREEN MOMENT TOGETHER ON FILM FORHADOWED THEIR VERY LAST SCREEN MOMENTS ON FILM. THAT BEG, WOMAN OF THE YEAR, WHEN THEY FIRST ARE SHOWN TOGETHER, HEPBURN IS STG ON A SK STRAIGHTENG HER STOCKGS (A RARE CHEEKE SHOT FOR HEPBURN FOR SURE) TRACY WALKS . WHAT DO THEY DO? WELL TRACY LOOKS AT HER LEGS OF URSE AND THEN THE TWO SIMPLY STARE AT EACH OTHER FOR AN EXTEND MOMENT AND ’S THEIR CEMATIC HELLO…YEARS LATER ALMOST AT THE VERY END OF GUS WHO’S COMG TO DNER (A MOVIE I LOVE) NEAR THE END OF A LONG SPEECH LIVERED BY TRACY, HE CLAR TO A ROOM FULL OF PEOPLE THAT IF THE LOVE BETWEEN HIS DGHTER (PLAYED BY KATHARE HOUGHTON, HEPBURN’S REAL LIFE NIECE) AND HER FIANCE A DOCTOR (PLAYED BY THE GREAT SIDNEY POIER) IS HALF AS MUCH AS THE LOVE HE’S HAD FOR HIS WIFE, WELL THEN THAT IS EVERYTHG. 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. INCREDIBLE HOW LIFE AND ART N LLI LIKE THAT AND SHOW THE BEGNG AND THE END MIRROR MOMENTS.REPLY ALAN ROYLE SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 AT 11:19 AM THE LOOK KATE GAVE TRACY AT THE END OF THEIR LAST FILM SAID ALL, CHRISTOPHER. TO ME WAS ONE OF TOTAL LOVE AND AFFECTN. WONRFUL MOMENT FILM.REPLY HAVANA BROWN AUGT 30, 2020 AT 10:34 AM PLATONIC, NOT PLUTONICREPLY THOMAS STT JUNE 28, 2020 AT 1:46 AM IT’S JT SANE TO SUGGT SPENCE WAS GAY OR BISEXUAL, THAT’S JT NONSENSE AND VENTED RECENTLY BY STTY BOWERS (KNOWN LIAR). HE AND KATE DID LIVE TOGETHER AT GEE COR’S MALIBU TTAGE OM 1942-1967, THIS IS EXCEEDGLY WELL DOCUMENTED. AND OF URSE THEY HAD SEX! CONSULT GARSON KAN’S ORAL HISTORY, WHICH SHOWS THEY HAD AN ACTIVE SEX LIFE UNTIL THE LATE 1950’S WHEN SPENCER’S HEALTH FAILED.REPLY ALAN ROYLE JUNE 28, 2020 AT 1:28 PM I HAVE NOT READ MR. BOWERS’ BOOK AND DO NOT TEND TO, THOMAS. I BASE MY ASSSMENTS ON MANY SOURC AND NO DOUBT SOME MAY BE DUB, BUT THEN SO ARE ALMOST ALL THE OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD STUD ASSSMENTS. ALL WE N DO IS SIFT THE AVAILABLE DATA AND ARRIVE AT OUR OWN NCLNS. HOW YOU N SAY ‘AND OF URSE THEY HAD SEX’, AND NOT EM THAT AN ASSUMPTN IS BEYOND ME. AS FOR GARSON KAN, HE MAY BE TELLG THE TTH, HE MAY BE PROTECTG HIS IENDS’ REPUTATNS. HE WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST REPUTABLE PERSON TO DO THAT, PECIALLY THE ENTERTAMENT BS. WE N MERELY AGREE TO DISAGREE ON THE VALIDY OF WHICHEVER SOURC WE CHOOSE. THANKYOU FOR YOUR MENTS.REPLY BETHENNY PARKER JUNE 16, 2023 AT 11:58 AM Y, LOTS OF FICTN THIS PIECE. CONVENIENT THAT TRACY ISN’T AROUND TO FEND HIMSELF. TRACY WAS ONE THE BT ACTORS OF ALL TIME, A WOMANIZER & BULLY WHEN HE DRANK.

HE RETURNED TO BROADWAY THE 40’S THE PLAY, THE RUGGED PATH.REPLY ALAN ROYLE JULY 30, 2018 AT 5:01 PM FAIR ENOUGH, DAVE. I SHOULD HAVE SAID THAT HE DID NOT HAVE A LOT OF SUCCESS ON THE STAGE. HE WAS A NUMBER OF PLAYS BUT WENT ALMOST UN-NOTICED UNTIL ‘DREAD’ 1929 LOOKED LIKE PUTTG HIM ON THE MAP, BUT THE STOCK MARKET CRASH THE NEXT DAY ED ANY HOPE OF THE PLAY BEG FANCED.REPLY DAVID KEELG APRIL 14, 2018 AT 1:43 AM Y SPENCER TRACY WAS A GREAT ACTOR AND SOME OTHER ACTORS NSIRED HIM THE BT.

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. IT WAS MOURED HE WOULD HAVE SEX WH YOUNG MALE IENDS OF COR’S WHEN THE URGE AROSE. YEARS LATER, SEVERAL SOURC CLAIMED THAT TRACY AND JOHN DEREK ALSO HAD A LENGTHY RELATNSHIP. INFORMED SOURC FURTHER CLAIM THAT HIS LONG-TERM RELATNSHIP WH KATHARE HEPBURN MAY NOT HAVE EVEN BEEN NSUMMATED, GIVEN THE AMBIVALENT SEXUALY OF BOTH PARTI.TRACY’S LOVER OR NOT?THERE WAS CERTALY GREAT AFFECTN DISPLAYED THE RELATNSHIP, SO WHETHER OR NOT WAS SIMPLY PLUTONIC IS BATABLE. HE STILL DISAPPEARED OM TIME TO TIME, UALLY TO HIS HOMETOWN OF MILWKEE, WHERE HE WOULD HOLE UP ONE OF S NUMERO SALOONS ON ONE OF HIS BENRS. KATE KNEW WAS VIRTUALLY IMPOSSIBLE TO TRACK HIM DOWN, SO SHE DID NOT EVEN TRY. EVENTUALLY, HE WOULD DRY OUT AND RETURN TO HER.WH KATE THE EARLY YEARSTRACY WAS NOMATED FOR NE OSRS AND WON TWO – THE FIRST, SPE OF HIS ABOMABLE PORTUGUE ACCENT, FOR CAPTAS COURAGEO (1938), THE SEND FOR BOY’S TOWN A YEAR LATER. HE AND KATE MA NE MOVI TOGETHER, THE LAST OF THEM BEG 1967’S GUS WHO’S COMG TO DNER? JT SEVENTEEN DAYS AFTER S PLETN TRACY WAS AD. KATE HEARD A CUP CRASH TO THE FLOOR THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT. HE HAD SUFFERED A MASSIVE HEART ATTACK, AND SHE FOUND HIM AD ON THE KCHEN FLOOR. FOR THE RT OF HER LONG LIFE SHE ULD NOT BRG HERSELF TO WATCH THE PICTURE. NOT WHOUT HIM BI HER.IN GUS WHO’S COMG TO DNER?A LOT HAS BEEN WRTEN ABOUT HIS STNCH CATHOLICISM PREVENTG TRACY OM DIVORCG HIS WIFE LOUISE AND MARRYG KATE, BUT HE OFTEN TOLD IENDS THAT BOTH WOMEN PREFERRED THE ARRANGEMENT AS STOOD. SO DID HE. HE AND LOUISE LIVED APART FOR MANY YEARS, BUT HE NEVER MOVED WH KATE EHER. THEY JT SPENT A LOT OF TIME TOGETHER ALTERNATG BETWEEN HIS PLACE AND HERS. OUT OF RPECT FOR TRACY’S FAY KATE DID NOT ATTEND HIS FUNERAL. SHE WOULD OUTLIVE HIM BY 36 YEARS, DYG 2003 AT THE AGE OF 96.I HAVE BEEN A FAN OF SPENCER TRACY THE ACTOR ALL MY LIFE. LIKE MOST MOVIE-GOERS I WAS TAKEN BY THE SEEMGLY EFFORTLS WAY HE PROJECTED TELLIGENCE AND TEGRY. HIS ACTG STYLE WAS RELAXED AND NATURAL. IT WAS FUN TO PARE HIS PERFORMANC WH, SAY, ERROL FLYNN’S. ERROL, MY OPN, WAS UNBELIEVABLY AWFUL. I STILL WATCH CAPTA BLOOD ON OCSN, JT TO REMD MYSELF OF HOW BAD A PLAYER N BE, YET STILL BEE A HUGE SUCCS. BUT TRACY WAS THE ULTIMATE MOVIE ACTOR. IT IS DISAPPOTG TO LEARN THAT THE MAN ULD NOT LIVE UP TO THE ACTOR.

I TOO PUT SPENCER TRACY VERY HIGH ON MY LIST OF GREAT ACTORS. POSSIBLY THE TOP. HOWEVER, TO BE FAIR, TO OTHER ACTORS, I’M NOT SURE HE REALLY HAD THE RANGE TO DO ANY KD OF PART. CAN I IMAGE SPENCER TRACY PLAYG LAWRENCE OF ARABIA? NOPE. I DO THK HE’D HAVE BEEN A GREAT KG LEAR THOUGH. MAYBE I’M NOT BEG FAIR. I GUS NO ACTOR/ACTRS N DO EVERY PART. AND LIKE I SAID, I LOVE SPENCER TRACY. I NOTED ONCE AN ARTICLE I ONCE DID ON SPENCER TRACY AND KATHARE HEPBURN THAT THEIR VERY FIRST SCREEN MOMENT TOGETHER ON FILM FORHADOWED THEIR VERY LAST SCREEN MOMENTS ON FILM. THAT BEG, WOMAN OF THE YEAR, WHEN THEY FIRST ARE SHOWN TOGETHER, HEPBURN IS STG ON A SK STRAIGHTENG HER STOCKGS (A RARE CHEEKE SHOT FOR HEPBURN FOR SURE) TRACY WALKS . WHAT DO THEY DO?

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. INCREDIBLE HOW LIFE AND ART N LLI LIKE THAT AND SHOW THE BEGNG AND THE END MIRROR MOMENTS.REPLY ALAN ROYLE SEPTEMBER 4, 2020 AT 11:19 AM THE LOOK KATE GAVE TRACY AT THE END OF THEIR LAST FILM SAID ALL, CHRISTOPHER.

HE AND KATE DID LIVE TOGETHER AT GEE COR’S MALIBU TTAGE OM 1942-1967, THIS IS EXCEEDGLY WELL DOCUMENTED. AND OF URSE THEY HAD SEX! CONSULT GARSON KAN’S ORAL HISTORY, WHICH SHOWS THEY HAD AN ACTIVE SEX LIFE UNTIL THE LATE 1950’S WHEN SPENCER’S HEALTH FAILED.REPLY ALAN ROYLE JUNE 28, 2020 AT 1:28 PM I HAVE NOT READ MR. BOWERS’ BOOK AND DO NOT TEND TO, THOMAS. I BASE MY ASSSMENTS ON MANY SOURC AND NO DOUBT SOME MAY BE DUB, BUT THEN SO ARE ALMOST ALL THE OFFICIAL HOLLYWOOD STUD ASSSMENTS. ALL WE N DO IS SIFT THE AVAILABLE DATA AND ARRIVE AT OUR OWN NCLNS. HOW YOU N SAY ‘AND OF URSE THEY HAD SEX’, AND NOT EM THAT AN ASSUMPTN IS BEYOND ME. AS FOR GARSON KAN, HE MAY BE TELLG THE TTH, HE MAY BE PROTECTG HIS IENDS’ REPUTATNS. HE WOULD NOT BE THE FIRST REPUTABLE PERSON TO DO THAT, PECIALLY THE ENTERTAMENT BS.
