Spencer Tracy was an actor I greatly admired. He was a character actor and people like him comes few between. Today the matinee shows the film Guess who's coming to dinner. it was his last film, 3 weeks after the film was completed he die age 67 in 1967. i was just 6. Guess who's Coming to Dinner has been one of my perennial favourites. It tackles racism and in 1967 it is a big deal. Even now the movie is relevant. Here's the trailer










The lyrics to Glory of Love


You've got to give a little, take a little
And let your poor heart break a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love

You've got to laugh a little, cry a little
Until the clouds roll by a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love

As long as there's the two of us
We've got the world and all its charms
And when the world is through with us
We've got each other's arms

You've got to win a little, lose a little
Yes, and always have the blues a little
That's the story of,
That's the glory of love

That's the story of,
That's the glory of love

His great love was Katherine Hepburn. They never marry because Tracy was a Catholic and was already married. She never remarried after her affair with Spencer. They live together until he breath his last for 26 long years.Katherine Hepburn died in 2003 after staring in another great film On Golden Pond. I dedicate this article to Aisya may she find true love and never give up.
