Katharine Hepburn [SEP] Introduction
Both movies are now considered among the greatest comedy films. In the 1940s, she began a screen and romantic partnership with Spencer Tracy, which spanned 26 years and nine movies, although the romance with the married Tracy was hidden from the public. The partnership began with "Woman of the Year" (1942), continued with "Adam's Rib" (1949), both being "battle of the sexes" romantic comedies, and concluded with the race-issue drama "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner" (1967), also starring Sidney Poitier; Tracy died shortly after the movie's filming.
