In this spirited, straightforward, exhilarating audio, she shares her experience of life. This is the Bacall we have all come to admire, talking to us openly, candidly, abut work: it's importance, its usefulness to her through the ups and downs and ups again of her career, its place in her life a sa young ride, as a young mother, and today. About romance, about marriage, about loneliness. About long friendships and how they evolved over time with Laurence Olivier, Slim Keith, John Huston, and Leonard Bernstein. She talks about the driving impulse to make a perfect home, about the marriages of children, about being a daughter, a mother, a grandmother. About being restless, about letting go. All of it.
