Thought for Today: A Love Story

Katharine Hepburn and Tracy Spencer made nine movies together. Two weeks after making their last movie, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, Spencer died suddenly.

"They were motion picture nobility, but they never went out together to restaurants, movie premieres, or big parties. They maintained separate residences and the press honored their privacy." *
Spencer was married.

During the twenty-seven years they shared their lives together, unmarried, the press respected their privacy. Unimaginable today. "It was a unique feeling that I had for S.T.
I would have done anything for him. My feelings -- how can you describe them? -- the door between us was always open. There were no reservations of any kind. . . It is called LOVE." **
