The movie "Guess Who's Coming To Dinner" was released in 1967. It starred the popular acting team of Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn in their ninth and final film together. Tracy, in poor health for several years, had to limit his work days to just a few hours at a time. He died of heart failure in his Hollywood Hills home on June 10, 1967—just three weeks after completing the filming of this movie. Sidney Poitier and Katharine Houghton (Hepburn's real-life niece) co-starred as an interracial couple wanting to marry, a very controversial topic in 1967.
Hollywood goddess Jayne Mansfield was killed in an automobile accident in Mississippi around 2:00 AM on June 29, 1967 on her way from Biloxi to New Orleans. Best remembered for her figure, on the set of one of her movies the chair reserved for her—in lieu of her name—simply said: "40-21-35½." She was the most publicized actress in the world in 1957, beating out Marilyn Monroe. Tony Randall once commented he preferred working with Jayne, because she was more professional than Marilyn.
