Spencer Bonaventure Tracy (April 5, 1900 – June 10, 1967) was an American actor, noted for his natural style and versatility. One of the major stars of Hollywood's Golden Age, Tracy was nominated for nine Academy Awards for Best Actor and won two, sharing the record for nominations in that category with Laurence Olivier.
Tracy first discovered his talent for acting while attending Ripon College, and he later received a scholarship for the American Academy of Dramatic Arts. He spent seven years in the theatre, working in a succession of stock companies and intermittently on Broadway. Tracy's breakthrough came in 1930, when his lead performance in The Last Mile caught the attention of Hollywood. After a successful film debut in Up the River, Tracy was signed to a contract with Fox Film Corporation. His five years with Fox were unremarkable, and he remained largely unknown to audiences after 25 films.
In 1935 Tracy joined Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, at the time Hollywood's most prestigious studio. His career flourished with a series of hit films, and in 1937 and 1938 he won consecutive Oscars for Captains Courageous and Boys Town. By the 1940s, Tracy was one of the studio's top stars. In 1942 he appeared with Katharine Hepburn in Woman of the Year, beginning a popular partnership that produced nine movies over 25 years. Tracy left MGM in 1955 and continued to work regularly as a freelance star, despite an increasing weariness as he aged. His personal life was troubled, with a lifelong struggle against alcoholism and guilt over his son's deafness. Tracy became estranged from his wife in the 1930s, but never divorced, conducting a long-term relationship with Katharine Hepburn in private. Towards the end of his life, Tracy worked almost exclusively for director Stanley Kramer. It was for Kramer that he made his last film, Guess Who's Coming to Dinner in 1967, completed just 17 days before Tracy's death.
Spencer Tracy was an Australian rock band, whose founding members Lee Jones, brother Kim and Shaun Sibbes came from Collie, Western Australia.
The band was formed by three teenagers from a small coal mining town called Collie in Western Australia, who started playing in pubs around the south corner of Western Australia. They reached the finals of the Next Big Thing band competition and joined indie label Embryo Records in 2000 - aged just 15, 16 and 18 having performed about 100 pub gigs.
Initial Triple J and RTRFM support for their first EP Corner of My Eye in early 2001 led to several East coast tours and support spots for the likes of Midnight Oil, Lotel, Iota, Echo & the Bunnymen and The Fauves.
Further airplay for a track called "Stupid" from their second EP Daisy Daze strengthened the band's position while two members (Shaun Sibbes on drums and Kim Jones on bass guitar) finished school and principal songwriter Lee Jones began to work on honing the band's sound.
Spencer Tracy is the self-titled debut album by Spencer Tracy, released in August 2003. It was selected as Triple J's "album of the week" (August 8 to August 15, 2003). Richard Kingsmill wrote in The Music Network: "I championed Spencer Tracy a little bit around here because I was so surprised by it. I underestimated the band and didn’t think they could come up with a whole album of good guitar pop but they did. I thought it was a good strong positive record. It wasn’t just three singles and then really average material. I thought I can’t really fault this, there’s at least six or seven songs that are going to sound great on the radio."
The album was recorded at Revolver Studio with producer Ben Glatzer (Ammonia, The Sleepy Jackson, Cartman). The album debuted at #9 on the Australian Independent Record Labels Association (AIR) top 20 album charts in September 2003.
All tracks written by Lee Jones unless otherwise noted.
