Tracy, Lee (1898–1968), actor. The exuberant, redheaded performer was born in Atlanta, Georgia, and made his debut as Joe in The Show‐Off (1924). He is best remembered for two early roles: Roy Lane, the spunky hoofer, in Broadway (1926); and Hildy Johnson, the even spunkier newsman, in The Front Page (1928). His last important assignment was as Arthur Hockstader, the sharp‐tongued ex‐President, in The Best Man (1960).
