Portrayer of American, Spencer Tracy, Dies
Spencer Tracy, 67, the craggy faced two time Oscar winner who defined the American character on screen from 1930 to 1967, died Saturday at 6 am of a massive heart attack in his West Hollywood home. He was alone except for a housekeeper when the doctor arrived. Tracy had long heart trouble but recently felt well. His death ends a career of classic roles from Captains Courageous to Inherit the Wind and The Last Hurrah. He was born April 5, 1900 in Milwaukee and began on stage in New York, rising to fame at MGM after early work with Pat O'Brien and Louise Treadwell.
