A lovely and loving intimate memoir of Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. It's like sitting down with their old friend and listening to him tell you all his favorite stories about his two friends and his wife while weaving in their biographies. Two very interesting people fleshed out as real and admirable. "Wouldn't it be great if people could live as suddenly as they died?" - Katherine Hepburn Garson Kanin (and his wife, Ruth Gordon) was a close friend and confidante of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, a writer of two of their films together, and uniquely positioned to write this memoir of the legendary couple and the times shared with him and his wife. The book is witty, revealing and personal. As much as I enjoyed reading these stories of my favorite film couple, I had to wonder if it caused any rift in the friendship with the very private Hepburn (Tracy was deceased by the time of publication, but I have no doubt he would have opposed the book's publication). Anyway, Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn were probably not the easiest people to be close to; both could be prickly and had numerous foibles one was bound to respect. But Kanin no doubt felt that the rewards of the friendship made it worthwhile. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

"A new biography, “Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn,” by William J. Mann, has reopened the question of her sexual identity, painting a picture of her as a sex-averse woman with lesbian leanings who preferred to spend her time with closeted gay men, one of whom, Mr. Mann says, was Spencer Tracy."

Why should this surprise me? The fact that it did is uncomfortably revealing re: my personal problems.
Should I even bother finishing the book? ( )
