Tracy is one of Hollywood’s best loved stars. Many critics, in fact, believe him to be the greatest of them all. Virtually peerless in natural talent and professional accomplishment, Tracy had an unparalleled career that spanned four decades. He amassed nine Academy Award nominations — a record he continues to share with Laurence Olivier. He would go on to win two Oscars for his performances in Captains Courageous (1937) and Boys Town (1938). Tracy also starred in such hits as Father of the Bride (1960) and Guess Who’s Coming to Dinner. Regardless of his personal issues (alcoholism and philanderer), Tracy was a giant among leading men at the box office.
