Wow.<br /><br />I'd also recommend her first (1979) autobiography "By Myself" (I haven't read the new edition, nor the follow up, "Now" (1996) ). One of the few celeb autobiographies I've enjoyed - not great literature, no pretensions, no bitchiness, very down to earth, and her description of life with husband Jason Robards and his alcoholism are harrowing at times. (A birthday party gone awry is the part of the book that stands out in my mind.)Janicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08049113750769117163noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-2929084195010916782009-09-14T09:56:47.166-04:002009-09-14T09:56:47.166-04:00I still believe To Have and to Have Not was her gr...I still believe To Have and to Have Not was her greatest performance, although she was wonderful in Key Largo and so many others. I loved the moment in The Mirror Has Two Faces when Barbra Streisand asks her what it was like to be beautiful. There's a moment of silence before she speaks and her face conveyed so much. She was robbed of the Oscar.Samhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08713972514003681234noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-39590945324822549962009-09-13T11:24:30.855-04:002009-09-13T11:24:30.855-04:00Isn't that a fake Twitter account?

A competitive Oscar would have been nice, but this is better than nothing. This should be on the main telecast though. I'm guessing that all we'll see of this on the main show is a clip or two and parts of the acceptance speech. Maybe they'll have the recepients wave in the audience. Tacky. At least have them go on stage for a standing ovation, unless that takes up too much "time" too. Hopefully the full acceptance speeches will be on YouTube's Oscars channel at some point.Donnynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-13019914938903715892009-09-12T19:40:25.992-04:002009-09-12T19:40:25.992-04:00im disappointed - i doubt angela lansbury will eve...im disappointed - i doubt angela lansbury will ever get an oscar or emmy.jimmynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-68468630668140569632009-09-12T16:31:14.575-04:002009-09-12T16:31:14.575-04:00The Big Sleep, of course.The Big Sleep, of course.Rae Kaseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04675597799627134171noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-936636924295545882009-09-12T14:49:27.432-04:002009-09-12T14:49:27.432-04:00moror --- there are more than two Bacall posts.

Though the Tarantino stuff kind of gave it away. Still funny, even fake, though.<br /><br />Bacall is awesome if only for her Bogie collaborations, for a really sensitive performance in <i>Written On the Wind</i>, and for recent turns in Von Trier's movies.

Vanessa Hudgens, Beyonce, & Miley Cyrus they make room for, all of whom have the cinematic output of Uwe Boll, but they ignore Bacall, Willis, and Corman? A disgrace-and Academy, if you want to look at what has made the Oscars "iconic" through the years, it's not the "fresh young talent singing and dancing," it's those career achievement awards to Cary Grant, Charlie Chaplin, Myrna Loy, Mary Pickford, and Kirk Douglas that have.
