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.
