With her commanding husky voice and regal presence, the iconic star of American film, Lauren Bacall, was recently spotted at "21" in New York for a tribute recording.
Ben Widdicombe of Gatecrasher reports that to honor the British chat-show host Michael Parkinson who is to retired this month, Ms. Bacall stopped by '21,' which turns 78 Monday, to record a tribute message.
The waitstaff at the former speakeasy were assembled and ready for Bacall.
The discerning actress froze the staff in their tracks as she frowned approaching table 30, where a brass plate commemorates her first date with Humphrey Bogart in that very spot in 1944.
"When was the last time you people polished my plaque?" she demanded, according to Widdicombe, who noted her papillon pooch, Sophie, "gamboled among the chair legs."
All is well as Widdicombe noted the staff hopped to it, and "Bacall will be pleased to know that the plaque is now shining like a new dime."
