I haven't finished this yet, but I just read something in the NYT that blew my mind. Here Kanin is going on and on about how great Tracy and Hepburn were together, and lo and behold:

"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." [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/29/movies/homevideo/29dvd.html?_r=1&8dpc&oref=slogin]

Why should this surprise me? The fact that it did is uncomfortably revealing re: my personal problems.

Should I even bother finishing the book?

2023 movie #113. 1952. Pat (Hepburn) an up and coming woman athlete is discovered by Mike (Tracy), an unscrupulous sports agent. Hepburn, who really was a good athlete, performed the tennis and golfing shown in the movie.

Great intimate biography of both of the stars by a writer who worked with them and lived next door to Kate.
