Often referred to as the actor's actor, Spencer Tracy's subtle
introspection and thoroughly naturalistic style continue to impress
actors and audiences alike. He began his career on the stage, and
then went on to attain considerable acclaim as a film star for Fox
Studios and Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer. He won back-to-back Academy Awards
in 1937 and 1938, began a legendary personal and professional
relationship with Katharine Hepburn, and worked as an independent
film star in the 1950s and 1960s.
This volume provides detailed information for Tracy's many
performances in film, radio, television, and drama. The book begins
with a short biography that summarizes Tracy's professional
development. The chapters that follow chronicle his fascinating
career. Each chapter is devoted to his work in a particular medium
and provides entries for his individual performances. Entries
present cast and credit information, plot synopses, reviews, and
commentary. An annotated bibliography discusses sources of
additional information about Tracy, and photos illustrate his life
and work.
