fun facts, quotes, and pictures from history
In honor of Valentine’s Day, the forbidden love of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. The couple began dating in 1941 on the set of “Woman of the Year,” and remain unmarried, yet inseparable, until his death in 1967. All this time, Spencer Tracy remained married to someone else. His only wife, Louise Treadwell, refused to divorce him despite his relationship with Hepburn. Hepburn once wrote of Tracy, “I would have done anything for him.” The relationship was one of Hollywood’s worst kept secrets — and without a doubt, one of the most memorable.
