An Intimate Evening with Legendary Actress and Superstar Ms. Lauren Bacall Presented by the Brilliant Lecture Series The River Oaks Theater screening of "The Have and Have Not" March 11, 2009
One of Hollywood’s legends, actress Ms. Lauren Bacall made an appearance at the River Oaks Theater, Houston, Texas, Wednesday night, March 11, 2009, as The Brilliant Lecture Series presented a screening of the 1944 black and white film, which launch Ms. Bacall career, “To Have and Have Not”, directed by Howard Hanks and starring Walter Brennan, Humphrey Bogart and Ms. Lauren Bacall. Hundreds of film buffs fill the downstairs theater to watch the film and have an opportunity to see and to ask some questions as the legendary film superstar, literally, sat in front of the silver screen. C-47 Houston magazine was there to see Ms. Bacall exit her stretch limousine to greet Houston’s Ms. Lynn Wyatt, the Chairman Emeritus, of the Brilliant Lectures, who escorted Ms. Bacall, as both entered one of Houston’s last remaining theater houses. Several fans were waiting and called out to Ms. Bacall for autographs and several photographers were there to take pictures including Getty Publications. Ms. Bacall was extremely cordial to her fans and entered the theater doors and sat only four rows behind where we were sitting during the last half of the film. At the end of the film, the Chairman Emeritus walked to the front of the theater and introduced Ms. Bacall. The entire theater stood in ovation as Ms. Bacall slowly walked down the isle, only inches from where we sat, to take her position center stage. It was amazing! She reflected on her first acting gig, “Johnny Two by Four” which she did not have a speaking part but where she was stung by the acting bug. Ms. Bacall was only 19 years old when she got the part in “To Have and Have Not”. This was a “once-in-a-lifetime” event that brought out some of the Crème-a-la-Crème of Houston’s elites. If you missed this event you missed out on a very special evening with one of Hollywood’s legends in film and television, Ms. Lauren Bacall. Below are some of the pictures: Enjoy!
