Item #229666

A touching copy, rich with Tracy-Hepburn associations, featuring the photographs of Spencer Tracy's daughter Susie (b. 1934), to illustrate the life of a favorite deaf cat. This copy is inscribed by Hepburn to her agent, Freya Manston:
"For Freya & her Cats
"with affection
"Kate"

Spencer Tracy's first-born son, John, was born deaf; Tracy's wife Louise, with Spencer's support and encouragement, founded the famous John Tracy Clinic in honor of their son. It opened in 1942, the same year that Hepburn and Tracy began their legendary association.
