Thats the nice and convieniant thing about the dead, they cant defend themselves from the grave, so moronic "authors" cant face any libel charges.

Dear Amy Villarejo,
I'm sorry – I can't answer those questions – I'm really too busy to understand why anyone would want them answered – Good Luck
– Katherine Hepburn, quoted in Lesbian Rule
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A new Hepburn biography claims that hers and Spencer Tracy's affair was actually a beard to protect their secret bisexual lives.
According to author William J. Mann, the two screen icons had a brief fling, but they were mostly just companions who used their so-called passion to hide their real activities.
It was at gay director George Cukor's estate that he met a Hollywood hustler identified as "Scotty," a mechanic who staffed his gas station with "handsome young bucks, just home from the war" who for $20 were "happy to wash their hands (or not) and take a trip with a client to the back room," Mann writes.
"Tracy would always be drinking when I arrived," Scotty told Mann. "He'd get so loaded. He'd sit there at the table drinking from five o'clock in the afternoon until two in the morning, when he'd fall onto the bed and ask me to join him. ... And in the morning he'd act like nothing happened."
As for Hepburn, the book claims she had a sexual relationship with American Express heiress Laura Harding, as well "Nightline" anchor Cynthia McFadden, who was almost 50 years younger.
"Kate fell in love with Cindy," one friend told Mann. "She wasn't expecting a relationship with her, but there's no question she was enchanted. ... Kate was dazzled."
And why hasn’t this surfaced before? Out of respect, of course.

Actually Katherine Hepburn was a guy in drag. Spencer Tracy was a butch dyke. They fell in love with each other and no one really knew aobut their true beings.
