Joel McCrea(1905-1990)

Katharine Hepburn was a friend of McCrea and his wife, actress Frances Dee. Hepburn reportedly felt he was one of the best actors with whom she had worked and was disappointed his career wasn't more successful. She reportedly believed McCrea should have been ranked alongside Spencer Tracy or Humphrey Bogart.

I have no regrets, except perhaps one: I should have tried harder to be a better actor.
