Worked on three of her pictures when I was a young lad at Warner Bros as part of the camera crew. "Young Man with a Horn", "Bright Leaf" and "Blood Alley" I became friendly with her following "Bright Leaf".

I remember seeing her as Margo Channing in "Applause" in 1970. After the show my then lover who was friends with Ms. Bacall had a late supper with her at Joe Allens. Later I saw her again in 81 after a performance of "Woman of the Year".

The last time I saw her was with my current mate Eddy. We were at the Barbican Center in 85 seeing "Les Mes" After the show we shared a taxi back to our respective hotels.

When I ushered at the Atlanta Civic Center in the early '70s, I got to see Lauren Bacall in Applause eight times. She was phenomenal! National Tour had several cast members from the original Broadway cast. Loved this production very much! I've got all the memorabilia from this show. (Will the critically acclaimed TV version that aired twice ever be released on DVD? I'm surprised this hasn't happened).

I saw Lauren Bacall in Woman of the Year when it played the Kennedy Center. National Tour had most of the original Broadway cast. Fun show!

Thanks for sharing, Richard. Great memories!

Bogie and Baby, together again.

If you might remember, they even were featured in a Bugs Bunny cartoon.

The girl from the Bronx made good.
