Filming Woman of the Year is just mahhhvelous. Spencer and I got off to a rocky start at first, but after being around him for a while I've grown to admire the man and I feel he admires me too. We've actually gone for some food together on certain occassions and I feel we both suit each other real well. He's so down-to-earth and amazing. I admire him with such a passion. I hope he feels the same too, and I think he does from what I observe. God, our love scenes we have to film are so powerful. I think everyone on the filming crew has observed it. This one scene Spence and I have to kiss in my apartment in the dark, and my GAWD I felt so much passion that I've never felt before. The scene was filmed perfectly. *Sigh* I think I'm head over heels....I've never felt this way about anyone before. My life has changed forever...and for good reasons.

1942
Today was....really good. Somehow I feel it was a turning point in my life. I don't know, I just feel something great and wonderful is going to encounter me and my future will change forever. Let me explain...
Today I got up like any other ordinary day, and went to the lot to start plans for a film called Woman of the Year. I was happy that one of my favorite actors, Spencer Tracy, who I admire very much, would be starring opposite me. The film is about a woman political journalist, Tess Harding, and a sports journalist, Sam Craig, who work for the same newspaper, The New York Times. Sam overhears Tess on the radio talking about how sports don't matter and should be called off during times of war, because she is very political and doesn't care for sports. Sam gets mad and writes a nasty column about what she said, bashing her and stating that sports are important. The two write nasty columns about each other back and forth until the boss calls them to his office and tells them to quit. I love this scene I read in the screenplay where Sam walks in and I'm already in his office and I'm fixing my nylons and my leg goes up and he looks at me with this stare. Ah, it's amazing. The two eventually fall in love despite their differences. I feel this is going to be a great film.
Anyway, I'll get to the delighful moment. I walked to the lot with Joe Mankiewicz so he could introduce me to Mr. Tracy. I was excited because I saw almost all his films and admired his acting ability and talents. I confronted him and felt very thrilled. I had on about 3 inch heels that made me taller than I am. I already am quite tall, 5'7", and it just made me even taller. Spencer isn't really tall, but he is average. I walked to him with my heels on. He shook hands and I wasn't sure what to say. I tried to start conversation by jokingly saying, "I'm afraid I'm a little too tall for you, Mr. Tracy." Spencer looked at me with a small grin, with his lion eyes of his, and Joe said to ease the tension, "Don't worry Miss Hepburn, he'll cut you down to size." That remark hit me, and somehow I felt a connection with Spencer. We started at each other for while after he said that, and I just felt something. I feel Spencer and I will get along well, and I feel a special bond between us. I hope he feels it too. I'm so delighted to work with him. How I admire him...
What a day! I can't wait to work with him in a few days.
I'm off to visit George Cukor. He's having some get-together with some other people. *Sigh* I'm not quite in the mood after the days events, but George has always been so good to me. Ugh, those damn get-togethers. I'll get through it though!
I'll talk to you all soon dears!

1939
So I've been traveling to many cities performing The Philadelphia Story. I must say, I love it! Playing Tracy Lord reminds me of myself so much, and I can get into her character so well. I love saying:
"Hello Dexter....Hullooooo George.....Hellooooo Mike!"
AHH it's such fun dahlings! We have been talking about making it into a film. I'd really love Spencer Tracy to play the role of Mike Connor, and Clark Gable as the role of C.K. Dexter Haven. But I'm not so sure if I can get them....those would be my dream people. Hopefully they'll be available. Joseph Cotten, who plays Mike Connor on the stage, would like to play him in the film. But I am not so sure he would suit him on film. I'm afraid to tell him that I'd rather have Spencer Tracy to play him. I admire Spencer Tracy so much. I've seen most of his work and he is such a wonderful, charming actor! I'd be honored to act beside him.
Anyway dears, I'm traveling to Chicago this evening. I will talk to you all when I get back!

| Party with Bogie and Betty |

1950s
Spence and I ended up visiting with Betty and Bogie finally. Spence showed up late-he said he met up with an old friend at the lot-some cameraman he worked with years ago, and struck up a conversation with. I hope he's not lying! Nah, my Spensuh wouldn't do that to me ;) (hopefully!)
Anyway...I smacked him lightly when he came in the door. I said "Spensuh Bonaventure Tracy, where have you been all this time?!?! Betty and Bogie are waiting for us, you big bafoon!" 'Course, he knew I was joking around, and I figured he had a good excuse. He told me his excuse, and then after explaining it to me, he picked me up, threw me over his shoulder, and spanked me! That idiotic fool! Spence says, "That's for calling me a big bafoon, you fiesty, opinionated New Englander!" Hah, it was quite funny actually. I giggled, and he giggled too. Ahhh, how I adore that man with all my heart. He always makes me laugh. After he spanked me, he threw me down on the couch and tickled me. Silly Spence, but, god, I do love him.
We showed up at Betty and Bogie's after, and I must say they were not surprised by us being late. Bogie gave me this look and said "You, skinny girl, why are you late?" 'Course, he was kidding, I could tell by his face. He grinned afterward, and Spence explained his story. Bogie told Spence he was a lying sack of shit, which, was quite funny-I love how Bogie words things. Betty fixed up some cocktails for us, while we sat and chatted on various subjects-politics, etc. Then I asked Betty if I could go for a dip in their pool. When I got out of the pool and dried off, Spence had the nerve to throw me back in the water! I giggled like crazy, and yelled at him mighty good for it! I got out of the pool and chased him and smacked him hard across the back. He yelled in pain, but laughed. "Kath, you vicious woman!," he said. Hah, I am quite vicious dears ^_^ I felt like a teenybopper after the incident. 'Course, I always feel like a teenybopper around Spensuh-I'm always giggling like a hyena. But, I suppose, if one makes you laugh, you gotta enjoy their company! Feel like a teenybopper if it makes you happy, goddamnit!
Anyway, that was my evening. How was all your evenings?

Oh dear, I am sitting her bored at home. I wish dear Spensuh would come home so we could go visit Betty and Bogie. Where must he be? When he gets home I'm going to spank him for being late! (well, not literally, hah) I promised dahling Betty I would come visit her for some cocktails. My, I'm in a cocktail mood!
