"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow."

Bogie and Bacall - back together again.

They say celebrity deaths come in threes...as I was thinking of this, Billy Joel popped into my head. Hope that doesn't happen. That would be too much to take.

That's sad. She led a full life, to be sure, but no one likes to see the world lose a talented actress and a sexy MF...RIP m'dear.

And you've got to love the fact she and other folks stood up to the McCarthy bullies....

Today in the PC police, we face the very same 'populist' efforts to silence/suppress the speech of those they disagree with that she faced in the 1950's McCarthyists. I can only wish that there were more like her today that had the wisdom, sense of fairness, and courage to stand up to today's PC bullies.
