By Myself and Then Some

The epitome of grace, independence, and wit, Lauren Bacall continues to project an audacious spirit and pursue on-screen excellence. The product of an extraordinary mother and a loving extended family, she produced, with Humphrey Bogart, some of the most electric and memorable scenes in movie history. After tragically losing Bogart, she returned to New York and a brilliant career in the theatre. A two-time Tony winner, she married and later divorced her second love, Jason Robards, and never lost sight of the strength that made her a star.

Now, thirty years after the publication of her original National Book Award–winning memoir, Bacall has added new material to her inspiring history. In her own frank and beautiful words, one of our most enduring actresses reveals the remarkable true story of a lifetime so rich with incident and achievement that Hollywood itself would be unable to adequately reproduce it.

I loved reading here where she left off in her first book. Im glad to know how she and her children have lived since the death of Bogie. A good read!

This seller delivers what they promised! I would do business with them again in a heartbeat!

I'm not a big reader but this book was the best I have ever read. The way it was written made me feel like I was rigth there living this wonderful life of this incrediable person. It was a book I could not put down and read it in less than 4 days. I loved it. I wish they would make a movie on her life, I know it would be worth watching.

I put this book down after the first 20 pages and left it sitting for months. The book just didn't grab me at all. I picked it up again recently and couldn't put it down. Once the book starts rolling, and Bacall finds her rythm, it is great. The pages on her romance with Bogart and his subsequent illness and death will make you weep. She has a few brief sections where she discusses her politics. Those only take up a few paragraphs and can be easily skipped without missing relevant or interesting content. This is a great read and well worth owning and passing along to friends.

Boring, Shallow, Very self-absorbed (much liked her previous one). This was mainly a political statement, used to trash politicians, which was clearly not my understanding until reading it. I finally finished and rather than give it away I THREW it away (which I rarely do). I wanted to spare others the pain. Spare yourself the torture and the cost.
