description: "He won back-to-back Oscars before most stars had one, yet spent his first five years in Hollywood making 25 films almost no one saw. The attention came later — for the natural style that made acting look like breathing, and for the 25-year love story with Katharine Hepburn that everyone knew and no one spoke about."

# bio (long form, separated for readability)
bio: |
  Tracy found acting at Ripon College, spent seven years in stock theater, and broke through onstage in 1930 with The Last Mile. Fox signed him after a strong debut opposite Humphrey Bogart in Up the River, then buried him in 25 films that flopped despite his work. MGM picked him up in 1935, and by his fifth picture there — Fury in 1936 — the career caught fire: consecutive Best Actor Oscars for Captains Courageous and Boys Town made him the first to do it twice. He teamed with Gable on hits, then with Katharine Hepburn starting in 1942 for nine films and a partnership that lasted until his death. He left MGM in 1955, kept working through alcoholism and deepening exhaustion, and finished his last film — Guess Who's Coming to Dinner — 17 days before he died in June 1967.
