The news of Robin Williams' death was such a shock. He was such a consummate actor. He was truly a comic genius and his death will leave a large gap in many lives. Like so many other comedians Robin suffered from depression. Someone who could make the world laugh but could not enjoy the happiness he gave to other people is so very sad. RIP Robin.

That would be Lauren Bacall, Christopher ... oh well, you're too young. http://www.nytimes.com/2014/08/13/movies/lauren-bacall-sultry-movie-star-dies-at-89.html Humphrey Bogart's Muse, on and offscreen. As in their first film together, To Have and Have Not“You know you don’t have to act with me, Steve,” her character says to Bogart’s in the movie’s most memorable scene. “You don’t have to say anything, and you don’t have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.” R.I.P.

Two more Lauren Bacall appreciations from the New York Times: That Voice, and the Woman Attached: Lauren Bacall’s Debut in "To Have and Have Not" (by Times film critic Manohla Dargis) The Bacall Standard (David Brooks on Bacall, Bogart and Raymond Chandler) And this Letter to the Editor: Re "Lauren Bacall: 1924-2014: In a Bygone Hollywood, She Purred Every Word" (obituary, front page, Aug. 13):
As a cabdriver in college, I once drove Lauren Bacall home from the Broadway theater where she was appearing in “Applause.”
A man came out of a door on a deserted street in the theater district and hailed me. He said, “Wait here.”
A woman got in the back seat.
I paid her no heed until she said, “The Dakota, please.”
That unmistakable voice sent shivers down my spine. We had a lovely talk, and she tipped well.
She was a quintessential New Yorker. She is missed.
