BY MYSELF AND THEN SOME

Bacall is back! In this reissue of her 1979 memoir, BY MYSELF, she addsAND THEN SOME, a frank account of the years since. While BY MYSELF hits the happiness and triumphs of Hollywood’s golden heydays, AND THEN SOME is more somber--covering the years since Bogie’s death, her turbulent marriage to Jason Robards, Jr., the passing of Bacall’s dearest friends, including Katharine Hepburn, and the struggles of a woman alone, pursuing an acting career at an age when roles are hard to come by. The real plus is hearing Bacall telling all in her deep, sexy voice. Here’s listening to you, kid. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine [Published: AUG/SEP 05]
