Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy

I just finished reading a book about Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. Did you know they had an affair for 27 years? The name of the book is "An Affair to Remember." Spencer Tracy apparently stayed married to his wife Louise throughout this whole time. He never divorced her but lived apart from her and their children for most of his life. It all sounds very odd. And Katherine Hepburn had been married once but was divorced before she had met Spencer Tracy. Apparently, at one time he was supposedly the best male actor in Hollywood. I never knew this. I saw him only in Guess Who's Coming to Dinner, and that was his last movie. Two weeks after making this movie, he died. So, did you know that these two Hollywood stars had a very long affair? Am I the only one with my head stuck in the sand about these two?

Yes, I knew about Katherine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy. A client of my husband did the same, he never divorced from his wife, they lived apart and he had an affair with another woman during all his life.

@Kouponkaren - We are Roman Catholic (of course we are, we are Italians... no choice back in time). My brother decided to divorce and his wife was devastated. He could have avoided to divorce, they lived separated from many years.

I did know about these two but didn't really know much about it. I'm sure there was a lot of infidelity in those times - just as there is now.

@JudyEv Apparently, there was LOT of infidelity in those days at least in Hollywood. In a way, Hepburn was smart not to get married again with all of the affairs going on.
