Whether he was Father Flanagan of Boys Town, Clarence Darrow of Inherit the Wind, or the crippled war veteran in Bad Day at Black Rock, Tracy was forever seen as a pillar of strength, the sort of regular American guy one could depend on. Now biographer James Curtis gives us the life of this revered actor. Curtis writes of Tracy's distinguished career, his deep Catholicism, his devoted relationship to his wife, his drinking that got him into so much trouble, and his twenty-six-year-long bond with his partner on-screen and off, Katharine Hepburn. Drawing on Tracy's personal papers and writing with the full cooperation of Tracy's daughter, Curtis tells the rich story of the brilliant but haunted man at the heart of the legend.--From publisher description. 000434666 60010 $$aTracy, Spencer,$$d1900-1967. 000434666 650_0 $$aActors$$zUnited States$$vBiography. 000434666 85200 $$bgen$$hPN2287.T7$$iC78$$i2011 000434666 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:434666$$pGLOBAL_SET 000434666 980__ $$aBIB 000434666 980__ $$aBOOK
