A funny story from when I was much younger. I was working at the Hyatt Regency in Atlanta around 1970 at the front desk. Lauren Bacall was performing nightly with the musical "Applause" at the hotel.

Ms Bacall would stop by nightly at the front desk to say hello. A very sweet woman. One night during her visit I asked her if she was in "Applause" on Broadway in New York. (keep in mind I was only 17 and thought I knew everything). She tossed back her long hair and immediately said "I created Applause" in that deep raspy voice.

I thought OMG I was going to get fired for being so forward with such a super star. She started laughing and gave me a hug. Such a classy woman! RIP
