Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get - only with what you are expecting to give— which is everything. -KH

The only thing that matters is what they feel, and how much they feel, for each other. And if it’s half of what we felt— that’s everything. -ST

bonaventurer:

I was privy to the sight of Kate, the woman. Not strident, still opinionated, but always willing to listen… Watching her sitting on the floor pouring coffee for Spencer, listening— no, hanging on— to his every word, looking up at him with total adoration. She was a woman in love, blindingly, unquestionably in love. Spence, on his part, was always sweet with her, affectionate, though not overly demonstrative. But there was no doubt in my mind, or anyone else’s who saw them together, that they were totally committed to one another and that they were totally balanced and belonged together… Katie and Spence were that rarity— two actors who genuinely felt so close to one another— respect and love— plus non-stop laughter.

After Miss Hepburn gave up the small house she rented with Spencer Tracy on George Cukor’s estate and Cukor had died, we inherited Margaret, the cook who had worked for them both. Margaret was reticent to discuss her former bosses and we were careful not to express too much interest. She did say that there were terrific fights and that Mr. Tracy drank as we all now know. But she did tell us something that has remained with me that tells me more about their relationship than I’m sure I can get from a salacious book. In the night, often, Spencer Tracy would have bad dreams and he would cry out. Miss Hepburn, who was in an adjacent room, would rush to his side and hold his hand. She would lie down on the floor by his bed until he could fall asleep again. Often in the morning, Margaret would find them together, Spencer Tracy asleep on the bed and Katharine Hepburn asleep on the floor beside him still holding his hand.
