Spencer Bonaventure Tracy (* 5. April 1900 ; † 10. Juni 1967)
He was a perfectionist, aware of everything he did with a part. Those seemingly relaxed , easygoing performances were carefully thought out, structured creations. He was always so afraid he´d go too far, he knew you had to measure your distance in films. That´s one of the reasons That´s one of the reasons he was so good.”

Happy Birthday Spencer Tracy | 5 April 1900 - 10 June 1967
I’ve never known what acting is. Who can honestly say what it is? … I wonder what actors are supposed to be, if not themselves … I’ve finally narrowed it down to where, when I begin a part, I say to myself, this is Spencer Tracy as a judge, or this is Spencer Tracy as a priest or as a lawyer, and let it go at that. Look, the only thing an actor has to offer a director and finally an audience is his instinct. That’s all.
