I always loved this scene. Betty was funny and a good sport.

You didn't get the memo? Rest your mind, it's fine for you to watch movies from before the year of your birth - we're no longer arresting people for doing that.

The cast is reunited at long last...

Sadly they always seem to come in threes if the trend follows we have one more.

I am too but I knew who she was. Didn't know she was still alive though. I used to watch a lot of B&W movies. I like that they were dialogue driven and the actors then had a much stronger presence than in the CGI world of today.

That does make 3 actors in the past few days though who have croaked.

Already happened. Some soap opera actor from Another World died.

For those who never heard of her check out Turner Classic Movies I'm sure they will be doing a marathon of her movies soon.

I was born 50 years too late.

Robin Williams to

I thought about that but I'm not sure his movies may be to new seems like Turner Classic does not show movies made past the mid 70s they could make an exception for him though.

She was always a lady and she had a good run at 89 years. Bogie's best movies were made with Betty Bacall

The Grim Reaper always takes out three big celebrity names in the span of a coupla days.

So now we've lost Robin Williams and Lauren Bacall — may God rest their souls.

Who'll be number three?

Watch.

I could see the death in threes if they were all taken at the same time...but that is not the case. People die every minute if every day...

Lauren Bacall passed away today.

She was wonderful! Loved her in "To Have and Have Not".

RIP



Silver screen siren Lauren Bacall, who starred in classic films like “The Big Sleep” and “How to Marry a Millionaire,” died on Tuesday, according to reports.

The actress had a fatal stroke Tuesday morning in her home, TMZ reported.

Born in the Bronx, the husky-voiced actress rose to fame in 1944 after starring in Howard Hawks’ “To Have and Have Not” alongside her future husband Humphrey Bogart. Bacall became a favorite leading lady of the film noir genre, appearing in “The Big Sleep,” “Dark Passage” and “Key Largo.”...

A bit before my time, so I never saw her in too many movies, but I've definitely heard of her and I know I've seen her in some things before.

RIP.

She had a good life. RIP.

Merged.

― Marcus Aurelius, Meditations

I think Ms. Bacall lived a full, good life. She was a favorite of mine. I love film noir and have admired her for a long time. She was also good in How to Marry a Millionaire. I've never seen The Sopranos, but I'm glad she continued to have acting roles later in life, showed she still had a zest for life. Zero to 89 is a pretty good stretch. Life expectancy for women in 1925, when she was born, was 60.6. She's done well and lived a full life.
