On this day, Katharine Hepburn was just inches away from the kitchen when she heard Spencer Tracy collapse on the floor and pass away in the early morning of June 10th - Kate put Spence in bed with help from the housekeeper and gardener, “I drew up the covers and lit the candles. He looked so happy to be done with living, which for all his accomplishments had been a frightful burden to him. So quiet. He who had turned and turned in that bed. No one able to help him really. One builds one’s own jail. I never knew him, I think. And he is the only one who ever really knew me—“ KH described in Me: Stories of My Life. 3 AM PST was the mark of the end of their many shared moments. ⁣⁣

Rest in peace, Spencer Tracy (d. June 10th 1967) ⁣
