The love story of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Tracy was a binge drinker who disappeared for days at a time, and Hepburn did not have a spotless past before settling down with the married Tracy. Both were quite something.
Not usually into biographies, but I love Kate. This was an extraordinary introduction into the Hollywood scene for me.
Breves biografías y la historia en común de Katharine Hepburn y Spencer Tracy. Es bastante mala y solo se nutre de otros libros y de lo ya sabido. No es muy exacto, tiene un montón de bibliografía y repite los errores de todos los libros que contiene. Pero tiene fotografías que desconocía.
