Critics wrote that what Olivier was to theatre  Tracy was to film. Over his career he was nominated for nine Academy Awards  and won two. But there has been no substantial  intimate biography of the man. From his earliest days in stock theatre  Tracy was a publicists trial  guarding his private life fiercely. Most of the people associated closely with him also shunned the fanzine limelight - notably his wife  his children and the great actress Katharine Hepburn  with whom he had an affair that lasted over 26 years. Although his screen roles often depicted a happy  twinkling Irishman  Tracy was a periodic alcoholic and a not very agreeable drunk. But the studios managed to keep him out of the papers. With the help of Tracys daughter  Susie  and access to previously unseen papers  James Curtis has now produced the definitive biography of a tortured  complex and immensely talented man. The book contains 124 integrated photos  many published for the first time.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"My Store","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67973562990645,"sku":"ByrdShop_0091785243","price":248.73,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780091785246.jpg?v=1794639220","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/spencer-tracy-9780091785246","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
