BIG difference here is that with Lauren Bacall a few would have been thinking "I didn't even know she was still alive !" ~ after all, LB would have been 90 next month...

WITH Robin Williams, though, he was only 63..


I saw a good 'docu-drama' telemovie back in the late '90s or early-noughties called "Bogart and Bacall" ~ it was one of a series of four or six movies covering such famous long-term "illicit" affairs (such as Katharine Hepburn and Spencer Tracy..).

AND note my placing of the term "illicit" in quotation marks, Cass ~ as it was often admitted much later that the previous respective marriages had already collapsed anyway, and the "affair" was only such because divorce was delayed out of convenience, or to help the image of one of the parties...

SUCH were the double standards of society (and the Film Studios..) at the time..
