HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUMPHREY BOGART & LAUREN BACALL

One night in 1953, Bogie, John Huston and some other friends were shooting the breeze rather tipsily about life and its meaning and the question arose as to whether there was any time of their lives they’d like to live over again. All of them except Bogie came up with cynical answers. Somebody said, “God forbid”. Somebody else: that he’d only like to cancel out a couple of times. Then Bogie spoke. “Yes, there’s a time I’d like to relive- the years that I have had with Betty.”

-Joe Hyams, Bogart & Bacall.

I was a kid in love for the first time. I was easy for me - I knew nothing about pitfalls. I was giving nothing but myself and I could do that without qualm. Never in my life had or has a man cared so much for me, wanted so much to protect me, surrond me with life’s joys, share everything. It made me want to return the care- to show him it was possiblle to be really happy with a woman, to give him children. I was determined to do that.

-Lauren Bacall

Jonathan Demme: I am as in the dark today as I was when I first saw Anthony Hopkins unexpectedly make this amazing kind of slurping, kissing, whatever sound that is he makes, when he describes his meal there.
Anthony Hopkins: I remember seeing Dracula when I was a kid, and I don’t know if it did actually happen in the film, but it was Bela Lugosi’s Dracula and when he sees Jonathan Harker — I don’t know if I dreamed this up, I don’t know where it came from — when Jonathan Harker cuts himself with the razor and Dracula goes [makes the sound]. But I don’t know if that actually did occur in the Bela Lugosi film, it must have occured in my subconscious somewhere.
