From "The Philadelphia Story" (directed by George Cukor, from the hit play by Philip Barry - that Hepburn appeared in on Broadway with Joseph Cotton in the Cary Grant role, Van Heflin in the Jimmy Stewart role, and Shirley Booth in the Ruth Hussey role).  The movie also starred John Howard as Hepburn's fiancé, John Halliday as her estranged father, Roland Young as her woman chasing "Uncle Willie", Virginia Weidler as her sister Dinah, and Henry Daniell as magazine owner Sidney Kidd.  Stewart won his only Oscar as "Macauley Connor" (the year before he had been in the running as "Senator Jefferson Smith" in "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington, but had been beaten by Robert Donat as schoolmaster "Chipping" in "Goodbye Mr. Chips").  An important stage part of Tracy Lord's (Hepburn's) brother was played in the Broadway production by Dan Tobin, but the part was left out of the movie script.  In 1941, when making "Woman of the Year" with Spencer Tracy (their first film pairing) Hepburn brought Tobin to his Hollywood career playing her snobbish secretary Gerald.
