A Random Wednesday Conversation Starter
Not so random, really, given this week's news. What are your favorite Robin Williams and/or Lauren Bacall performances? (Mine: Good Will Hunting and To Have and Have Not, respectively.)
You know, it was a very small role for Robin, but I loved him in Hamlet. My husband and I were talking about various roles he was in and I mentioned the 1996 film and he looked at me strangely. I told him that, yes, Robin had in fact been in that. It seemed to be a version of Hamlet where the casting director asked "So, what great actors we get for this movie that you would never imagine doing Shakespeare, ever?"
I cannot sound off on any of my favorite movies with Lauren in them, as many of her famous roles were opposite Bogart, and on the potential threat of death I confess; I cannot STAND Bogart as an actor.
