COLACELLO: Are you a fan of old movies? JACKSON: Oh, yes. There was a lot of great art, great acting, great directing, great stories. When it comes to stuff like Captains Courageous or Boys’ Town, Father Flanagan, Woman of the Year—that stuff is unreal.

I don’t know if you can say one of them but Adam’s Rib and Woman of the Year, like the Hepburn/Tracy movies. The two of them together will never, ever age. There are scenes in those movies together that could be when you’re watching them today, in this moment.

Their on screen chemistry is insane in Woman of the Year. When they met for the film, Hepburn’s first words to Tracy were “I’m afraid I’m a little tall for you, Mr Tracy.” Tracy replied, “Don’t worry Miss Hepburn, I’ll cut you down to my size.”
