Wrong again, A&E ran a bio on both Hepburn and Tracy, separately. You may be interested to know that Tracy's wife did know about the relationship between him and Hepburn and was okay with it. Hepburn, Tracy and Tracy's wife remained good friends all through Tracy's life. Tracy had alcohol problems way before he met Hepburn which started in Tracy's wild drinking days of his boyhood. The night Tracy died he was on his way to the kitchen to make himself some tea and suffered a heart attack on the kitchen floor. Hepburn heard the crash of the teacup and saucer and ran down to the kitchen. That's when she discovered Tracy on the floor dead. If you get a chance, you may want to review both bios of these individuals. It's quite an eye opener.

Wrong again

Um - I wasn't wrong in the first place. You put words in my mouth and I corrected you.

A&E ran a bio

Well, if a tabloid cable channel runs it, it must be true!

If Louise Tracy and Katherine Hepburn were such good friends, what happened to this glorious friendship after Spencer died? Maybe in your world a "friend" sleeps with a friend's husband.

The fact is that both Louise and Katherine knew that exposure of the affair would have ruined Tracy's career as well as Hepburn's. Louise needed to keep the humiliating affair secret so as not to embarrass herself and her family, and in order to keep Spencer employed so she and her children could eat.

It was squalid and ugly and no Hollywood TV profile can change that.

A&E is always uncritical about it's subjects, almost all of whom led profoundly selfish lives.

That's certainly not how the History/TLC/Discovery channel (I forget which channel it was on but it was one of them) described it. Indeed, the more I listened to what they were saying about her, the less I liked her.
