I hate all of you people, I just pretend to like you,
as I am an actress you know........
As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
A silent chapter in Nancy Reagan's life is one of her mother who was a stage actress who knew most of the stars of the day and those who would transfer to film. One of the closest was Spencer Tracy who was a really nice man.
For those who do not know, Spencer Tracy was married and hooked up with Katherine Hepburn as his coquette. This story takes place from 1946 to the time the Reagans were running for the White House in 1967.
While Spencer Tracy was alive Katherine Hepburn was open with young Nancy Davis, often having her over to her apartment. They were quite close and in 1967 AD in the year of our Lord, Spencer Tracy died. Suddenly Katherine Hepburn was "busy".
Several times Nancy Reagan reached out to Ms. Hepburn and was rebuffed, and finally was told this:
I am terribly busy, and besides, I don't know what we'd talk about . After all, you're a staunch Republican and I'm a staunch Democrat".
Nancy Reagan replied, "What difference does that make? I have lot's of friends who are Democrats, I even married one!"
That ended all contact with the Katherine Hepburn, but it reveals a great deal of the vicious and catty lack of civility which plagues Hollywood to this day. This same group can hold a grudge over communists being outed, but will at the same time destroy Republicans daily in denying them parts or going after one of their own in Harvey Weinstein as Shylock is not making money in movies any more for them.
That is the epitaph to Katherine Hepburn. She pretended to like Nancy Davis and her Mom for over 20 years, as long as Spencer Tracy was around and she had to answer to him, but once Spence was dead, then the real coquette came out in all of her venom in someone who trusted her and thought she was a friend.
Just as Hollywood is the same catty, backstabbing nut house in this 21st century.
Nuff Said
