RIP: "Lauren" Betty Bacall

I was lucky enough to have worked with her in my world (theatre) some years ago. She was tough, funny, acerbically witty and charming and appreciative of the work that us lesser mortals did on the show. On my addressing her as Miss Bacall, prior to recording an off-stage line so that she could concentrate on a quick costume change, she said "Call me Betty, would you like a drink?" When I left at the end of the production period to go and lecture in Hong Kong for a few weeks, she thanked me for the work I'd done and kissed me goodbye.

You really don't forget moments like that.
