Dad is also correct in that Tracy went four years between It's A Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963) and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner and Hepburn went five years between Long Day's Journey Into Night (1962) and Guess Who's Coming To Dinner.
Spencer Tracy won back to Best Actor Oscars for Captains Courageous (1937) and Boys Town (1938).
Katherine Hepburn holds the record for most Oscar wins be an actor or actress with four wins: Morning Glory (1933), Guess Who's Coming To Dinner (1967), The Lion In Winter (1968), and On Golden Pond (1981) [Henry Fonda also won an Oscar for On Golden Pond, it was his only win]
Quick Trivia: Tracy's Best Actor Oscar for Boys Town (1938) is inscribed with the name "Dick Tracy." When Cate Blanchett won the Best Supporting Actress Oscar for The Aviator (2004) , Hepburn became the first previous Oscar winner to become an Oscar-winning movie role.

Thirty-four years between the first and second Oscars, then two in a row....how often has that happened?
She won for the first and last three films she was nominated for. She was nominated eight times in between. Her win in 1968 for The Lion In Winter was a tie with Barbra Streisand in Funny Girl
