Lauren Bacall takes the prize. Nobody close, and unlike so many of those, sadly, she didn't become a total wreck as a person or become obnoxious. Funny, we ran into Jane Russell in the waiting area in Cunard's ship terminal waiting to board the Queen Mary 2. Even though she was a million years old and in a wheelchair by then, some people still recognized her and she was very gracious. Died the following year.

If the wind died and the current and tide was wrong, boats like mine would end up floating toward her dock on the point. Nothing you could do about it until the wind or current changed unless you had a motor or oars (my blue jay had neither), then you'd eventually drift past. She'd come out and scold and shout like she was going to kill you with a baseball bat, shaking her fist. Felt like shouting back, "I can't help it you old witch!
