COUPLES IN HOLLYWOOD – KATHARINE HEPBURN AND SPENCER TRACY

Let me just say I bear a closer resemblance to a Smurf than Katharine Hepburn, but I think the reason Tracy and Hepburn made screen magic was because everyone could identify… My husband looks at me like this all the time.

    I am sure that just like Spencer, your husband treasures his “Kate” even when he is looking at you like that.

    And do you bring him breakfast in bed?

      Not on a regular basis 😉

        Only when he is dressed up in elegant pyjamas like Spencer, perhaps!

    Bwahahahaha! The Spencer-expression, it comes natural. 🙂 I bet you have your own Katharine-esque facial expressions, that Mr Lester could mention!
    A correction: *Kate* (or Kath according to a biography) resembled a Smurf more than she resembled *you*. *winks*

      I don’t think he would describe them as Katharine-esque 😉 – maybe more like a cartoon character.

    Snow White or Jessica Rabbit?! Don’t say Elmer Fudd! I could be compared to Daffy Duck at times. 🙂

    I t’ought I saw a Puddy Cat, I deed, I deed! Cute! Don’t make me do my lisping Sylvester impression… I’ve been holding back. 😉

      Yes! Now that’s what I’d like to hear in your clipped British tones! 😉

    Don’t tempt me! I’m a born performer – especially for you!

    Dearest V
    … and then Katherine!!
    Surely this is some kind of divine retribution for having erred from the way of the interweb.
    Spencer and Miss Hepburn… well as one of her characters might have remarked…”such is the role of *companionship* in history”.
    Yours ever

      *Companionship* most magnificent.
