What was wrong with Lauren Bacall

last night? Is she sick?

but you know, she is pretty up there in years.

:D

is that a "bat" joke? :D

It was clear she and the TP technician were not in sync at all -- it's very easy to get lost in the text if the person is reading it is too quick/slow or the tech is unable to keep the flow going. Teleprompter erading is a bit of an art. Also, TPs can be very hard to read if you have distance sight problems.

I felt badly for her difficulties. Very awkward.

Finally found it........

And Lauren Bacall really had a hard time with the tele-prompter.

:shrug:

but, oh, that voice.

I have also heard she is quite nasty in person from a number of sources.

...who subtly criticize her for her liberal attitudes...

KING: Are you big a "D" Democrat? Do you...

BACALL: I'm a total Democrat. I'm anti-Republican. And it's only fair that you know it. Even though...

KING: Wait a minute. Are you a liberal?

BACALL: I'm a liberal. The L word!

KING: Egads!

BACALL: I love it. Being a liberal is the best thing on earth you can be. You are welcoming to everyone when you're a liberal. You do not have a small mind. Little picayune things. You want to welcome everyone. Liberal, little picayune thing.

KING: You're open to...

BACALL: You want to welcome everyone. Liberal, I'm a Roosevelt. I'm a -- and I hear anyone say anything about FDR...

KING: You're a new dealer, fair dealer.

BACALL: I'm a total -- and I was a kid and I'm total, total, total liberal and proud of it. And I think it's outrageous to say the l word. I mean, excuse me. They should be damn lucky that they were liberals here. Liberals gave more to the population of the United States than any other group.
