Just last week I read in a newspaper the celebrity gossip industry was hurting, magazines sales and ratings are down, and they were hoping for a major event like a celebrity death. Now they have 2 with Lauren Bacall passing, who epitomizes the word "star".
I think its hard to understand how someone who was so funny was also so miserable.
Pacino and DiNiro don't act anymore, they just play themselves. Its a great gig if you can get it. I guess many actors end up like this, in The Shootist both John Wayne and Jimmy Stewart are just playing themselves at the end of their careers.
