There are no words to describe the sadness that has come over me and the OH fandom. rest in peace Betty !!
There is a photo of her in her later years, like 80’s. And she is wrinkled and old but it’s beautiful. The photo made no apologies for aging. It is awesome.
You can view it here. Its so amazing. This is what we look like without botox and the knife. People are so afraid of looking like they’ve lived a life.
The Kid asked me the other day why young performers can’t hold a candle to Bacall at 20 in The Big Sleep, and then I explained the studio system to him and the work of Howard Hawks. And I thought I never got long-winded 😉 …
We posted about this at the same time. So sad.
Sigh.

I’ll just quote a Facebook comment that I think says it best – “Bogey has his Baby back”.
That’s lovely. Thank you.
I’m still reeling from yesterday’s sad news, and now this. 🙁
Speaking from next week, I am glad it got people talking…
It’s a sad week. 🙁
Yes, very sad.
“One woe doth tread upon another’s heels, so fast they follow…”
Beautiful…
One of the classiest women of all time. I’ve always been, and shall always be, in awe of her.
Me too.

I like that look—I should have put that picture up!

I like what your previous commenter said. Lauren Bacall was unafraid to grow old. I want to be just like her when I grow up.
The title quote and photo is a beautiful tribute.
