STAR POWER DOESN'T ALWAYS WORK.

I just saw a wonderful tribute to Lauren Bacall who died in 2014 by Gregory Peck who died in 2003. He spoke glowingly of her beauty, her talent and her generosity. Generosity? Then who was that shrewish woman who, when my brother died at the far-too-young age of 50, wanted to have his credit removed from the book he wrote about Humphrey Bogart with Stephen Bogart as his source. She was vehement that Stephen should get full and complete credit, though the work was mostly that of prolific author and teacher Gary Provost, whose name remains on the cover despite the generous Ms. Bacall's angry objections.
