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 😉 …

It’s a sad week. 🙁
Yes, very sad.

Beautiful…
