Hi guys... I have been checking out Google books where you can read many books online...not the whole book but pretty much a lot...anyway...I was checking for Kate books and I found some pretty neat books I hadn't heard of...one of them was "Turtle Bay" it's the story of Kate's neighborhood with interviews of people who lived/live there...one of the interviews was from Stephen Sondheim...anyway here is part of his story/quote:
"Sondheim's new house was directly to the east of Katharine Hepburn's longtime home. Did he know he was buying next door to Hepburn? Well if he didn't, he soon found out. "One night before the sale closed, I took some friends over to look at the house," says Sondheim. "We walked out into the central garden, turned around and looked up, and there facing us through the window was Katharine Hepburn...and at that moment a pair of big broad arms reached around to embrace her...unmistakably Spencer Tracy" he recalls
WOWWWWWW!!!!!! Can u just imagine...this was sometime in 1960.

::blink, blink::
If Sondheim is spittin' the truth [and I have no reason to believe otherwise], then you have NO IDEA how happy I am to hear that. No. Idea.

I know right... ;D that was so amazing reading that...I have no reason to not believe him...I mean he was just casually showing the house off to some friends and looked up into the window and there she was standing... The site is under the google search group such as images, shopping etc...it's google books just type in her name or Spencer's or whoever and click search...some books only have a snippet view...but, u can search by whole book preview...there are other books I looked at...like one by Sylvia Browne...the celebrity psychic...even though I tend not to believe stuff like that...who knows really...she says in her book that Spence didn't "leave" Kate for many years...and they were reunited after her death  maybe I'll post that one too

That is the cutest thing ever! Who cares about objective biographies and important new information when you have anecdotes like that?
