This sucks. Lauren Bacall died.

Our picture of the day: Lauren Bacall and Harry Truman, 1945.

Three thoughts.

1. Go watch The Big Sleep. Period. Just watch it.

2. Bacall and Shimon Peres, the former Israeli Prime Minister and President, were first cousins.

3. Outlive the guy who writes your obit. From the end note of the AP obit: “Biographical material in this story was written by The Associated Press’ late Hollywood correspondent, Bob Thomas.”
