In these 1959 candids, Katharine’s beautiful smile is in full force. May we always remember that smile, as well as her other wonderful qualities, that made our Kate who she was. ❤️⁣ ⁣ 19 years ago today, June 29th 2003, Katharine Hepburn peacefully passed away in her sleep at age 96. ⁣ • #weloveyou #katharinehepburn #candid #picnic #1950s #onthisday #history #hepburn #june29th #restinpeace ⁣ ⁣ https://www.instagram.com/p/CfZigpmuL0H/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

It is with a heavy heart that I announce the passing of Miss Louise “Susie” Tracy - Spencer Tracy’s daughter and good friend of Katharine Hepburn. ⁣ ⁣ Kate adored Susie, saying how she was a more quiet version of her beloved Spence and simply wishing she got to know his kids when he was still alive - ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ Susie went on location to a few of Katharine’s 1970s films, taking photos of her for magazines and publicity in which Susie said Kate “got a kick out of seeing me loaded down with my cameras.” ⁣ ⁣ In this post, I included photos of Susie with Kate during The Spencer Tracy Legacy filming/presenting, Susie with her father Spencer, a candid KH by Susie and also photos of signed items by Kate including a book Susie did photography for (Pritt, the True Story of a Deaf Cat and Her Family) and a playbill of a musical KH was attending in support of friend Max Showalter. This found her & Phyllis writing back and forth with a friend of Susie (“The Touch of The Child” 1991) Showalter worked with The Theatre of the Deaf in Connecticut - a cause Susie Tracy obviously supported! Katharine was clearly fascinated with the sign language part of the show, as she writes “Who are the people on the stage” and also “you speak very well” + “can you hear any of the singing” to this person)⁣ ⁣ You will be missed ❤️⁣ ⁣ • #katharinehepburn #susietracy #louisetracy #spencertracy #maxshowalter #johntracyclinic #rip #theatreofthedeaf #photography #photographer #thetouchofthechild #loveamongtheruins https://www.instagram.com/p/Ce9KsKluVis/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“Three o'clock in the morning. June 10, 1967. Just stopped—BANG! The box broke. The container had just become too small for all that—what would you call it?—all that⁣ wild stuff whirling around inside. Peace at last. Oh yes I hope. I crouched down and took you up in my arms—dead. No life - no pulse—dead. Spence is dead.” - [ME: Stories Of My Life] ⁣ ⁣ - On this day [June 10th] 55 years ago, Katharine Hepburn lost one of the most important people in her life. RIP Spence. ⁣ ⁣ • #katharinehepburn #spencertracy #onthisday #peace #restinpeace #death #actor #love #actress https://www.instagram.com/p/CeovHsTPIXb/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“I had two great stars and a couple more near great. Spencer Tracy, who played the lord of the house, never won the friendship of his horse. Katharine Hepburn came trotting out in another designer period dress. They were both agreeable and entertaining people to be with and I enjoyed our conversations.” - Elia Kazan, director of THE SEA OF GRASS (1947) ⁣ {Scanned from my personal collection: Kate and Spence walk with the crew on the set of THE SEA OF GRASS (1947) between scenes}⁣ ⁣ • #spencertracy #eliakazan #katharinehepburn #seaofgrass #theseaofgrass #period #costume #1800s #1900s #1947 #1940s #hollywood #actress #actor #onset #couple #director https://www.instagram.com/p/CZaKMJEPil1/?utm_medium=tumblr

RIP #SidneyPoitier - Katharine’s beloved GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER (1967) co-star has passed away at age 94. ⁣ ⁣ ⁣ “I talked to Sidney Poitier and described the project to him, pretending that Tracy and Hepburn had already agreed. "Are you suggesting that you might want me to play opposite Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn?" "I'm not suggesting it," I said. "That's exactly what I want." "But I couldn't do it, they're just too good. I'm not in their league. I'd get stagestruck and forget my lines.” - (It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World: A Life in Hollywood by Stanley Kramer) ⁣ ⁣ Sidney always spoke of how wonderful of a person Katharine Hepburn was and how he did in fact forget his lines during scenes with the three of them, as predicted when approached by director Stanley Kramer. ⁣ ⁣ Rest in peace to a legend.⁣ ⁣ #katharinehepburn #guesswhoscomingtodinner #rip #spencertracy #stanleykramer #katharinehoughton #actor #restinpeace #madmadmadmadworld #bio #book #actress https://www.instagram.com/p/CYb0r_crAAR/?utm_medium=tumblr
