I haven't finished this yet, but I just read something in the NYT that blew my mind. Here Kanin is going on and on about how great Tracy and Hepburn were together, and lo and behold:
"A new biography, “Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn,” by William J. Mann, has reopened the question of her sexual identity, painting a picture of her as a sex-averse woman with lesbian leanings who preferred to spend her time with closeted gay men, one of whom, Mr. Mann says, was Spencer Tracy." [http://www.nytimes.com/2007/05/29/movies/homevideo/29dvd.html?_r=1&8dpc&oref=slogin]
Why should this surprise me? The fact that it did is uncomfortably revealing re: my personal problems.
Should I even bother finishing the book?… (more)

A woman who wants to be famous rents a billboard. Both Judy Holliday and Jack Lemmon do something unexpectedly funny with pretty much every line.
