Even before Tracy had made any of his
73 movies or received one of his nine Academy Award
nominations, Tracy's very first director told him...
"Spencer Tracy, you're the best damn actor I ever
saw." Pretty big compliment for a rookie. Tracy
could challenge, charm, and inspire audiences of all
ages. His viewpoint on successful acting was simply
"know your lines and don't bump into the furniture".
He went on to make nine movies with the infamous Katharine
Hepburn. "He's an actor's star. He is a people's
star. His quality is clear and direct. Ask a question-get
an answer. No pause." -Katharine once said of Tracy.
Though he had his own set of personal
demons (i.e. alcohol), his acting was always seemingly
flawless and projected that of "great truth".
Movies, like 1936's "Fury", 1937's "Captains
Courageous", 1938's "Boys Town", 1949's
"Adam's Rib", and 1950's "Father of the
Bride" are just a few of his greatest works that
made a permanent mark on Hollywood that will remain
interminably flawless and untouched. (CD)
