She could not have died at a worse time

Lauren Bacall was one of the biggest and most financially successful actresses of the 1940's. She's a living legend and is considered one of the all time greats. Unfortunately however she just so happened to die exactly one day after another legend, Robin Williams. I'm just worried people are gonna be mourning Robin Williams and nobody will pay any attention to Miss Bacall. That is exactly what happened with Joan Maximillian Schell and Phillip Seymour Hoffman. Nobody payed any attention to Maxillian because they were too busy mourning the death of Phillip Seymour Hoffman. I just hope that isn't the case with Miss Bacall. And may she rest in piece.

@rowox, you shocked me by actually being more disrespectful than the OP. This is sick, I want imdb to be the way it was before stupid FaceBook took over everyone's lives!

Correcting the spelling of a stranger who came to pay respect is just foul, and i LOVE grammar & spelling - but not at the expense of hurting someone's feelings. Shame on you. Ms Bacall would have belted you.

Can you explain to me why you feel that the op was disrespectful?

Groucho Marx died three days after Elvis Presley did.....no one noticed his passing because Elvis was the top story.

It happened to Farrah Fawcett too when Michael Jackson died just a few hours later than she did. Bacall's death is personal to me because she was a true legend from a time gone by. I hope she is finally back with Bogie now.

Actors are mere products of a good writer's imagination

Evidently the word "Legend" means different things to different people.

Bacall? Yes. Yes, she most certainly was. Truly.

Don't forget Mother Teresa dying a day or so after Princess Diana's death. Also Ray Charles dying around the same time as Ronald Reagan (and I'm huge Ronald Reagan fan and conservative but still felt bad for Ray's family). Celebrity deaths usually happen in twos or threes so invariably someone gets overshadowed by the other.
