Spencer Tracy

The book Spencer Tracy: Tragic Idol is a great book. It is extremely informative as well. Bill Davidson spent years of interviewing to put together what is probably the best Spencer Tracy biography. This book gives detailed information on each and every film that Tracy ever made. Another reason that this is a great book are the parts about the strange yet touching romance Spencer Tracy had with Katherine Hepburn. Unlike some other bigraphies of Tracy, this one is extremely well balanced. It tells not only of Spencer Tracy's great acting skills, but also of the bad things in his private life. This book is a must read for all Spencer Tracy fans.
