Curio: Memorabilia Memorials

Alexa here, with my late entry eulogizing last week's departed greats.  I always find it interesting when we lose two idols at the same time, and they become linked in our mourning.  There couldn't be two more different performers than Williams and Bacall, could there?  Bacall, with her sultry, almost somnolent cool, and Williams, with his live-wire kinetics. Here are some curios, vintage and handmade, to celebrate their careers in film.

Bacall originated the role of Stephanie in Cactus Flower on Broadway (played by Ingrid Bergman in the film). See inside the playbill here.

Have you watched any Williams or Bacall films this week to say goodbye?

I've seen "Dead Poets Society" and "Good Will Hunting".
I need to watch one of his comedies again soon.
And I really need to watch some Bacall classics. I'm ashamed to admit I've never seen one....*drop*
Any suggestions?

Sonja: The Big Sleep is an easy way to fall in love with Lauren Bacall.
