In a new biography about screen legend Katherine Hepburn called, Kate: The Woman Who Was Hepburn, author William J. Mann claims that the Tracy/Hepburn affair was a smoke screen to cover up their bisexual side pieces.
It was at gay director George Cukor’s estate that he met a Hollywood hustler identified as “Scotty,” a mechanic who staffed his gas station with “handsome young bucks, just home from the war” who for $20 were “happy to wash their hands (or not) and take a trip with a client to the back room,” Mann writes.
“Tracy would always be drinking when I arrived,” Scotty told Mann. “He’d get so loaded. He’d sit there at the table drinking from five o’clock in the afternoon until two in the morning, when he’d fall onto the bed and ask me to join him. … And in the morning he’d act like nothing happened.”
Hepburn’s notorious relationship with American Express heiress Laura Harding wasn’t “lesbian,” but it certainly was sexual, Mann believes. He writes: “Hepburn admitted as much to friends like James Prideaux, cutting him off with a shrill ‘Of course!’ when he asked … as if the subject were simply too obvious and boring to belabor.”
Thank god we are past those simple times when Hollywood actors have to hide their sexual preferences in order to be embraced by mainstream America for their talent. Oh wait.
