True story: my brother Steve befriended Sam Robards (son of Jason Robards and Lauren Bacall) in elementary school, knowing nothing of his famous parents. One day Sam invited Steve over after school. "Sam, I want to meet your new friend" called Bacall from another room. They dutifully walked into that room, where she was lying in a bubble bath and extended a wet hand in greeting.

OK I've spent the last 10 minutes watching every Bacall coffee commercial – her best acting ever.

You Can't Take It With You (TV) sadly omitted. I'm torn between how much I love ATPM and how little I've seen of the rest of his work, including the O'Neills.

YCTIWY was a televised Broadway production he was in... I don't like to count those. Apparently the Lumet Iceman can be bought tho.
I like to imagine Jason and Betty having that coffee after throwing all the crockery at each other the night before. (Her '80s coffee-in-the-limo spot is the best.)
