Her career was resurrected with the Broadway production of The Philadelphia Story. She bought the rights to the play and returned to Hollywood to film the script with Jimmy Stewart and Cary Grant. She soon became paired with Spencer Tracy and together they made nine movies. (Woman of the Year, Desk Set).
