Spencer Tracy

from Hollywood: The Oral History (2022)

fellow actor : Maximillian Schell (interviewed)

Spencer Tracy, was, for me, the

most professional actor I ever

met and the most human and

the best.  It's just that simple.

Although he had his tricks, too.

He had his cliche's, too, but they

were just so good and not yet used

by others that he could use them

over and over again.  He was aware

of them and he always had a certain

vanity, like every actor, but he was

so simple.  His whole life he conducted

so beautfully and so dignified; he was

just a great human being.  I think

the film camera captures the

personality of a human being and a

film actor much more than the theater.

. .  . Katharine Hepburn gave up

years of her life just to be with him, and

he was just a great human being.
