The first Bogie & Bacall films were okay, but never my favorites. It was always my impression that their canoodling was what made them "special."I enjoyed her more when she was devouring the scenery in things like "Shock Treatment" as Dr. Beighley (don'tcha love that spelling of Bailey?) Also loved her with Marilyn and Betty in "Millionaire." But, "Sex and the Single Girl" a goofy picture I watched as a small kid, was probably the first time I saw Bacall and I found her completely terrifying. And I loved it and her in it.

Mustn't forget this brilliance.

Robin is another story altogether. 

I had no intention of writing anything about this sad, sad ending, but will, if only to say how much I adored him in, "Garp" and how fabulous he really was in it.

I hope there ain't a third, I'm in no mood.

When in Budapest a few years ago, we visited the Doheny Synagogue, the largest shul in eastern Europe. Outside is this memorial, which was funded in part by Tony, the son of Hungarian jews. I had no idea of this, so I was quite surprised to walk over and see a plaque with Tony's name on it. Contributers can purchase a "leaf" that is inscribed with the name of a Holocaust victim. Of course, I've featured dear TC here at mittendrinnen before.
