Tracy Lord: The time to make up your mind about people is never.
I had always thought Spencer Tracy a wonderful actor, but when Garson said wouldn’t Spencer Tracy be great as the man (in Woman of the Year), Garson said I answered, “Oh— I don’t know. I wonder whether we would be good together. We’re so different.”
Garson also said that when he suggested to Spencer Tracy that he had a script which would be wonderful for Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn, Spencer had said, “Oh really— do you think that we would be good together? We’re— so sort— of different.”
I, of course, don’t remember this at all. I remember only how perfect I thought Spence would be as anyone and how great we would be together.Katharine Hepburn | ME: Stories of My Life

With Powell, who became part of their social life, she could relax. She didn’t feel called on to perform when off camera. She could simply enjoy his company.”
