Spencer Tracy

biography:
Spencer Bonaventure Tracy (April 5, 1900 – June 10, 1967) was an American actor, noted for his natural style and versatility. One of the major stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, Tracy won two Academy Awards for Best Actor from nine nominations, sharing the record for nominations in that category with Laurence Olivier.

Tracy first discovered his talent for acting while attending Ripon College, and he later received a scholarship for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He spent seven years in the theatre, working in a succession of stock companies and intermittently on Broadway. Tracy's breakthrough came in 1930, when his lead performance in The Last Mile caught the attention of Hollywood. After a successful film debut in John Ford's Up the River starring Tracy and Humphrey Bogart, he was signed to a contract with Fox Film Corporation. His five years with Fox featured one acting tour de force after another that were usually ignored at the box office, and he remained largely unknown to audiences after 25 films, almost all of them starring Tracy as the leading man. None of them were hits although The Power and the Glory (1933) features arguably his most acclaimed performance in retrospect.

In 1935, Tracy joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, at the time Hollywood's most prestigious studio. His career flourished with a series of hit films, and in 1937 and 1938 he won consecutive Oscars for Captains Courageous and Boys Town. He made three smash hit films supporting Clark Gable, the studio's principal leading man, firmly fixing the notion of Gable and Tracy as a team in the public imagination. By the 1940s, Tracy was one of the studio's top stars. In 1942, he appeared with Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year, beginning another popular partnership that produced nine movies over 25 years. Tracy left MGM in 1955, and continued to work regularly as a freelance star, despite an increasing weariness as he aged. His personal life was troubled, with a lifelong struggle against severe alcoholism and guilt over his son's deafness. Tracy became estranged from his wife in the 1930s, but never divorced, conducting a long-term relationship with Katharine Hepburn in private. Towards the end of his life, Tracy worked almost exclusively for director Stanley Kramer. It was for Kramer that he made his last film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in 1967, completed just 17 days before his death.

During his career, Tracy appeared in 75 films and developed a reputation among his peers as one of the screen's greatest actors. In 1999 the American Film Institute ranked Tracy as the 9th greatest male star of Classic Hollywood Cinema.

Спенсер Трейси

biography:
Американский актёр.

Прожив несколько лет на рисе и воде после переезда в Нью-Йорк, юный бунтовщик и хулиган Спенсер Трэйси получил роль в малобюджетной бродвейской постановке — $ 10 в неделю и ни одной реплики. Но вскоре пьесу закрыли. Через некоторое время он получил место в провинциальном театре. Молодого актера заметили на Бродвее, а затем и в Голливуде.

За роль в третьем своём фильме, «Отважные капитаны», актёр был удостоен премии «Оскар» за «лучшую мужскую роль». Снова эту премию он получил уже через год, за фильм «Город мальчиков». Среди его работ — роли в картинах «Доктор Джекилл и Мистер Хайд», «Ребро Адама», «Отец невесты», «Старик и море», «Нюрнбергский процесс», «Этот безумный, безумный, безумный, безумный мир» и других.

Спенсер Трейси был гражданским мужем Кэтрин Хепберн почти 30 лет. Однако они так и не поженились, так как у Спенсера была законная жена, Луиза Тредвелл, которая сделала всё для того, чтобы сохранить свой брак.

Актёр умер 10 июня 1967 года в Лос-Анджелесе в возрасте 67 лет. Похоронен на кладбище Форест Лаун.

biography:
Spencer Tracy est un acteur américain, né le 5 avril 1900 à Milwaukee (Wisconsin) et mort le 10 juin 1967 à Beverly Hills (Californie).

Classé «9e acteur de légende» par l'American Film Institute, il obtient deux années consécutives l'Oscar du meilleur acteur, en 1937 pour Capitaines courageux et en 1938 pour Des hommes sont nés, ainsi que le BAFTA, en 1967, pour Devine qui vient dîner. ...

Né à Milwaukee dans le Wisconsin, Spencer Bonaventure Tracy est le second fils de John Edward Tracy, vendeur de camions, catholique, d'origine irlandaise, et de Caroline Brown, protestante convertie à la Science chrétienne.

Enfant hyperactif et difficile, il manifeste très tôt un intérêt pour le cinéma, à tel point qu'il regarde des films et en rejoue des scènes devant ses amis et ses voisins.

En 1921, il fait ses débuts sur scène dans une pièce de théâtre intitulée The Truth et décide de se lancer dans une carrière d'acteur. Il se fait bientôt remarquer et, lors d'une tournée de sa troupe à New York, est auditionné pour un rôle puis accepté à l'American Academy of Dramatic Arts. Il excelle désormais sur les planches.

Spencer Tracy fait une apparition en 1930 dans deux courts-métrages, Taxi Talks et The Hard Guy. Il joue ensuite dans The Last Mile. John Ford ayant remarqué sa prestation lui propose un rôle dans son film Up the River. Le film est un succès et John Ford y juge l'acteur «parfait».

Les premiers films où joue Tracy sont considérés comme mineurs: Ceux de la zone est un échec malgré de bonnes critiques et les moyens mis en œuvre par la 20th Century Fox, qui mise beaucoup sur le jeune acteur. Durant le tournage de Marie Galante en 1934, il est retrouvé inconscient dans sa chambre d'hôtel et hospitalisé d'urgence, forçant la 20th Century Fox à interrompre le travail. L'incident irrite la compagnie, qui met un terme à son contrat l'année suivante.

La MGM l'engage aussitôt et lui propose de jouer dans La Double Vengeance qui marque aussi les débuts de James Stewart. D'abord employé comme second rôle pour servir les vedettes telles que Myrna Loy ou Jean Harlow, Tracy s'impose définitivement en 1936 grâce au succès de Furie, de Fritz Lang. C'est le début d'une carrière fulgurante, où il passe des rôles difficiles ou ambigus, comme dans Un homme est passé de John Sturges, aux comédies (Une fine mouche, Madame porte la culotte) et aux films de guerre (Trente secondes sur Tokyo, La Septième Croix).

Dans la nuit du 10 juin 1967, il est terrassé par une crise cardiaque alors qu'il est en train de se préparer une tasse de thé, dix-sept jours après la fin du tournage de Devine qui vient dîner..., de Stanley Kramer et avec Katharine Hepburn. C'est d'ailleurs cette dernière qui le découvre mort dans sa cuisine. Le film sort en décembre, six mois après son décès. ...

Spencer Tracy

biography:
De Wikipedia, la enciclopedia libre

Spencer Bonaventure Tracy (5 de abril de 1900 - 10 de junio de 1967) fue un actor estadounidense, destacado por su estilo natural y versatilidad. Tracy, una de las principales estrellas de la Edad de Oro de Hollywood, ganó dos premios de la Academia al Mejor Actor entre nueve nominaciones, compartiendo el récord de nominaciones en esa categoría con Laurence Olivier.

Tracy descubrió por primera vez su talento para la actuación mientras asistía a Ripon College y luego recibió una beca para la Academia Estadounidense de Artes Dramáticas. Pasó siete años en el teatro, trabajando en una sucesión de sociedades anónimas y de forma intermitente en Broadway. El avance de Tracy se produjo en 1930, cuando su actuación principal en The Last Mile llamó la atención de Hollywood. Después de un exitoso debut cinematográfico en Up the River, de John Ford, protagonizada por Tracy y Humphrey Bogart, firmó un contrato con Fox Film Corporation. Sus cinco años con Fox incluyeron un tour de force actoral tras otro que generalmente eran ignorados en la taquilla, y permaneció en gran medida desconocido para el público después de 25 películas, casi todas protagonizadas por Tracy como protagonista. Ninguno de ellos fue un éxito, aunque The Power and the Glory (1933) presenta posiblemente su actuación más aclamada en retrospectiva.

En 1935, Tracy se unió a Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, en ese momento el estudio más prestigioso de Hollywood. Su carrera floreció con una serie de películas exitosas, y en 1937 y 1938 ganó premios Oscar consecutivos por Captains Courageous y Boys Town. Hizo tres películas de gran éxito apoyando a Clark Gable, el protagonista principal del estudio, fijando firmemente la noción de Gable y Tracy como un equipo en la imaginación del público. En la década de 1940, Tracy era una de las principales estrellas del estudio. En 1942, apareció con Katharine Hepburn en Mujer del año, iniciando otra sociedad popular que produjo nueve películas a lo largo de 25 años. Tracy dejó MGM en 1955 y continuó trabajando regularmente como estrella independiente, a pesar de su creciente cansancio a medida que envejecía. Su vida personal fue problemática, con una lucha de toda la vida contra el alcoholismo severo y la culpa por la sordera de su hijo. Tracy se separó de su esposa en la década de 1930, pero nunca se divorció y mantuvo una relación a largo plazo con Katharine Hepburn en privado. Hacia el final de su vida, Tracy trabajó casi exclusivamente para el director Stanley Kramer. Fue para Kramer que hizo su última película, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner en 1967, completada sólo 17 días antes de su muerte.

Durante su carrera, Tracy apareció en 75 películas y desarrolló una reputación entre sus compañeros como uno de los mejores actores de la pantalla. En 1999, el American Film Institute clasificó a Tracy como la novena estrella masculina más importante del cine clásico de Hollywood.

title: Heart of a Servant: The Father Flanagan Story

overview: Father Edward J. Flanagan is a familiar name to many Americans, often for the Oscar-winning 1938 film starring Spencer Tracy about Flanagan’s groundbreaking child welfare organization. But the story extends far beyond that, to a man whose name and legacy are still well-known as far as Germany and Japan. Flanagan gained influence and admiration over the course of his life from Presidents, CEOs, celebrities and more, but none mattered more to him than that of the children for whom he tirelessly worked. A sobering reminder of this was during WWII, as Flanagan saw droves of former Boys Town citizens go off to war. In fact, so many former Boys Town boys named Flanagan as their next of kin that the American War Dads Association named him as America’s No. 1 War Dad.
