She could not have died at a worse time

R.I.P. B. Lauren Bacall! R.I.P JMS! I see where you're coming from. I know that at the end of the year, for New Years Eve they'll show the "ones we lost this year" and that's that. I too felt for Farrah Fawcett, it was overshadowed by MJ's death. Tragic death. That's just the way it is. Same in Mexico, a celebrity of the Era5b4 Dorada ( Golden Age) of Mexican Cinema had passed on, and it was put aside because of Justin Beebers problems. I was like whaaat? But that's just the way it is. The way I see it, its like out with the old in with the new. Neither one of all these celebs are better than one another ( I mean as a human life, not in acting or careers ) its just one is more current than the other. We're bound to see many actors from back then pass on, and some younger ones like Robin W. wether natural circumstances, suicides, od's etc, but the most recent celebs will have more "air time" than the older ones. I hope nothing happens to Betty White soon, but I think shell be talked about more than let's say the other "Golden Girls", its just the way it is. And if a Hollywood hotmess at the time of her passing is showing naked selfies of her/himself that'll probably topple over a bit of recognition of their film/tv career achievments. Well this is my opinion, not a concrete fact. This is how I see it.
RIP Lauren Bacall one of my faves from the old days of cinema.
PS. Sorry for the mini rant.

I actually think Robin Williams was a nicer kinder person off screen than Lauren Bacall was. Baccall apparently was well known for being rude and b*tchy to others, for seemingly no apparent reason. I've heard plenty of stories about how difficult and mean she was to people she perceived as lower than herself. This is in contrast to Robin Williams, who not only supported charities without publicity, but treated everyone, including normal people, with kindness and dignity. Baccall may have bee a Hollywood legend, but her diva behaviour was typical Hollywood. Williams was much more rare, nearly everyone loved him, off screen and on.

fifacup, you are correct.
I saw it first hand when I was at USC in the early 90. She came there for a luncheon and than to speak.
Was quite excited to see her, but was very disappointed in her behavior.
She was quite full of herself, didn't smile at people.
She wasn't a nice woman. -

I never was a big fan of Robin Williams, so the passing of Lauren Bacall touched me a lot more, than that of Williams. Sadly, her death was just a footnote, compared to Williams' death. Especially in a country like Denmark, where only few people actually know who she was. She was a great talent, and she IS missed. She gave THE best acceptance speech for an academy award, I've ever seen. May you rest in peace, and finally be together w1908ith Bogie.

Death is not a competition. Her fans will miss her, just as people who did not know of her or did not care for her perhaps won't, so much She will always be remembered by the people who appreciated her, and that is all that anybody could ask.

Lauren Bacall and Robin Williams died within two days of each other. Many of us know and will remember, and tell our children and grandchildren about these people. TCM is still up and running and will show these people at their best.
