Man, this book was long. It's Bacall's first autobio and then and addendum, which is pretty much all of her friends dying. I'm making the book sound bad, which it isn't. Bacall recalls, with impressive clarity, her long life, which was filled with famous people--celebrities, but also politicians and others. Did you know she and Adlai Stevenson were tight??? She knew everyone. Katharine (Katie) Hepburn was one of her besties after they survived the making of The African Queen together, which Bacall's husband Humphrey Bogart costarred in with Hepburn. Bacall drops every name imaginable from the 1940s into the 21st century.
