She also dated Adlai Stevenson. But she rebuffed Kirk Douglas' entreaties.

It crackles! Bogie and Bacall are already deeply in love and it shows.
One of the best scenes in cinema.
It's better when you help.

a "Monstre Sacré" (a Sacred Monster as the French call the greatest of actors). She was my favorite person in my favorite film. I've loved this lady my entire life.

The stage version, in Boston in the early '80s. Wonderful. And I loved her in the movies as well. RIP Betty.
