Born on this date in 1898, one of the best and most original stars of the pre-Code era, Lee Tracy.
A favorite of the site, I've covered Tracy in past reviews for: The Half-Naked Truth (1932), Washington Merry-Go-Round (1932), and the film that has become his signature role, Blessed Event (1932). More information about Tracy is included in each of those posts.
If you'd like a bit more, here's a link to the AP's 1968 Tracy obituary. It includes most of the highlights, but skips the lowlights (page 1, page 2).
