An Affair to Remember: The Remarkable Love Story of Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy

Author: Christopher Andersen

Summary: Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn had a love affair that lasted until he died. Despite being very much in love, his demons with alcoholism and the haunting guilt of his son's deafness made their relationship very tumultuous. 

Personal thoughts: There were a lot of good moments between Spencer and Katharine in the 27 years they were together albeit the fact that he never truly divorced his wife. However, I was terribly shocked to discover that he eventually became very abusive and controlling towards Katharine. Whenever she had to leave him for long periods of time, he would go into an awful rage. Quite sad! If I were Katharine, I would've just given up on him. Better still, I would've just said no to his advances in the first place.
