HI HERE’S AN EDIT OF KATHARINE HEPBURN AS BUNNY WATSON IN DESK SET (1957) *runs away and trips*

[citizenscreen]

Director Frank Capra, Katharine Hepburn, and Spencer Tracy cast their ballots for the presidential election in a publicity shot taken on set of STATE OF THE UNION (1948).

[hotvintagepoll]

Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn (Woman of the Year, Desk Set, Adam's Rib)—They starred together in 9 movies as a romantic couple. The best-known are probably "Adam's Rib", "Woman of the Year", and "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner". As far as hotness goes, Hepburn had a tendency to play fiercely independent firecrackers, which contrasted with Tracy's naturalistic, grounded reserve and empathy. I feel it's that contrast between the high drama and the effortless control that produced the sparks and chemistry between them. (I'm sorry if that sounds kind of stilted; I'm struggling to find a way to describe their rapport! Mostly I just want to gesture at them and say, "Well, LOOK!" But I know that, at this point, not a lot of folks will have seen them in action, together. Off-screen, they were in an incredibly devoted, 26-year relationship that lasted until his death.)

Loretta Young and Tyrone Power (Love Is News, Second Honeymoon)—Their chemistry is off the chain in Love is News. *sobbing & grovelling about the lack of pictures*

This is round 1 of a mini Christmas tournament. Each poll lasts for three days.
