Lauren Bacall Dies at 89, Taking America's Mind off of Robin Williams

Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall died today at the age of 89, putting a final note on an era of Old-Hollywood glamor and providing a celebrity death which makes sense to take our collective mind of the mind-fuck that is Robin Williams' suicide.

"Okay, no, this one, I get it," said SAG president Ken Howard. "Robin, I can't even fucking deal with, but this, I mean, it's sad, but she was almost fucking 90."

Bacall rocketed to fame in the film To Have and Have Not, playing opposite Humphrey Bogart and giving the film world an iconically sexy screen presence that secured her place in film history at the tender age of 19. Her romance with Bogart provided America with a new kind of Hollywood royalty.

Williams, on the other hand, what the fuck?

So, we thank you, Lauren Bacall, for your life, your contribution to film and for reminding us how our famous actors are supposed to leave us.
