RIP #SidneyPoitier - Katharine’s beloved GUESS WHO’S COMING TO DINNER (1967) co-star has passed away at age 94. “I talked to Sidney Poitier and described the project to him, pretending that Tracy and Hepburn had already agreed. “Are you suggesting that you might want me to play opposite Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn?” “I’m not suggesting it,” I said. “That’s exactly what I want.” “But I couldn’t do it, they’re just too good. I’m not in their league. I’d get stagestruck and forget my lines.” - (It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World: A Life in Hollywood by Stanley Kramer) Sidney always spoke of how wonderful of a person Katharine Hepburn was and how he did in fact forget his lines during scenes with the three of them, as predicted when approached by director Stanley Kramer. Rest in peace to a legend. #katharinehepburn #guesswhoscomingtodinner #rip #spencertracy #stanleykramer #katharinehoughton #actor #restinpeace #madmadmadmadworld #bio #book #actress https://www.instagram.com/p/CYb0r_crAAR/?utm_medium=tumblr -- source link
