"Tracy And Hepburn" Film In The Works

Variety reports that Permut Presentations and Reunion Pictures are pairing up to produce the film "Tracy and Hepburn" which would explore the love affair between Hollywood icons Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy.

David Rambo will write the script which would chart their first meeting at MGM before making "Woman of the Year" in 1942 until Tracy's death in 1967, seventeen days after production wrapped on "Guess Who's Coming to Dinner."

Tracy was married throughout the affair, which was kept private with both maintaining separate residences. Hepburn didn't speak about the affair until the early 1980s.

David Permut, John Dayton and Lisa Richardson will produce the film. The search for a director and actors are currently underway.
