Mordy, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 00:12 (ten years ago)

RIP

To Have And Have Not is a miracle of a movie, one of the greatest conceivable Hollywood films, and she's the burning fireball in the middle of it

One of the best used and cast actresses. Great fin at her best.

she was so fucking cool too

Mordy, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 00:13 (ten years ago)

She had a voice that no one ever got tired of listening to and she knew how to use it to maximum effect.

I always have an art exercise where kids choose from about 50 famous faces I run off for them and do a pencil sketch. The best part for me is always the class where I go through the choices and talk about each one. If any of them come across this on the news, hope it clicks in who she was.

Just watched To Have and Have Not a few weeks ago. I still can't get on board with the "better than Casablanca" cult, but let's be honest about why the film works so well: simply pointing a camera Bogie and Bacall was enough.

You know something? He *did* say "well, yeah" a lot. (cryptosicko), Wednesday, 13 August 2014 00:27 (ten years ago)

Dedekind Cut Creator (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 13 August 2014 01:11 (ten years ago)

She was on the Oscars back in the mid-00s, introducing a film noir clip package. She had to wear these enormous old lady glasses to read the teleprompter, and even then she was having a hard time keeping up, frequently stumbling over her words. I felt so bad for her to be thrown out there like that after a career practically defining 'cool'.

RIP

My friend Millie: "Heartbreaking to lose Bacall. My kinda lady. I remember when she would call TCM to make sure we played the right version of THE BIG SLEEP. I'd basically just started and was like, "Wait, do the stars call us and complain about stuff?!" R.I.P. to a real hottie."

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 01:50 (ten years ago)

what a fox she was

fields of salmon, Wednesday, 13 August 2014 01:51 (ten years ago)

I saw The Big Sleep in rep a few years ago, and you can bet there were catcalls from the gallery upon her introduction. (Can only think of two other times that happened -- Paulette Goddard in Modern Times and Rita Hayworth in Gilda)

Randall "Humble" Pie (C. Grisso/McCain), Wednesday, 13 August 2014 01:59 (ten years ago)

WTF, Her last credit was an ep of Family Guy.

Even as cool as she was, there was something unusual and subversive about her style.

Have to admit that the first thing I thought of was that time she got mugged by Christopher Moltisanti

So the Andy Williams rumors weren't true after all?

Dedekind Cut Creator (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 13 August 2014 03:01 (ten years ago)

On an even more tangential note, only recently learned that Martha Vickers had been married to Mickey Rooney, but then who wasn't.

Dedekind Cut Creator (James Redd and the Blecchs), Wednesday, 13 August 2014 03:03 (ten years ago)

I love Robards' detectable just-gimme-the-check aura there. I'm sure those two had plenty of coffee the mornings after they threw all the glassware at each other.

She did three things with James Garner in a little over a year -- a Rockford Files, Health, The Fan (a lurid stalker thriller) -- ao I guess I'll continue to believe that gossip about the incident in the limousine...

Serious question: have those High Point ads always been part of the camp lexicon or only in the last few years. I don't remember ever hearing people say "de-GAFF-inated" until very recently.

I don't think either of our All About Eve obsessives/spouses has mentioned that Bacall won a Tony for playing Margo Channing in the musical version. (Warning: the following may be Too Gay.)

During the filming, while Bacall was home, Bogart resumed his discreet affair with Verita Peterson, his long-time studio assistant, whom he took sailing and enjoyed drinking with. But when Bacall suddenly arrived on the scene discovering them together, Bacall took it quite well. She extracted an expensive shopping spree from him and the three traveled together after the shooting.[113]

Sinatra called her "The Jew Bitch", and used to entertain friends by telling them how bad she was at giving head. In return, Bacall actually coined the term "The Rat Pack" when describing Bogie (their then-leader) and the gang after a bender.

one month passes...

I watched Dark Passage for the first time last night, possibly the least loved of the four B&B movies. It's famous for Bogey being either voice-only POV camera or swathed in cosmetic-surgery bandages for the first hour (as an escaped convict), but their scenes have sizzle of course. Then Agnes Moorehead has to be seductive and it kinda goes to hell. Some San Francisco location shooting too.
