Posted: 4/23/05 at 12:35pmRoxy, she is very much alive - still athletic, even. I worked for her a couple of years ago - you will never meet a sweeter, funnier, kinder, more entertaining, generous person.

Posted: 4/23/05 at 12:50pmDo we know if the story is true that Lauren Bacall personally recommended that Dina Merrill be her replacement in WOMAN OF THE YEAR? And when the job was given to Raquel Welch, Bacall removed every last vestige from the dressing room when she vacated it, including toilet paper and light bulbs?

Posted: 4/23/05 at 1:11pmWell, having also worked for Bacall, I'd believe the latter. Hever heard the Dina story though...interesting.

Posted: 4/23/05 at 1:13pmBoy, you worked for all the angelic ones, didn't you? Bacall left a trail of nervous breakdowns after she did SWEET BIRD out here.

Thank you for bringing the thread back where it belongs!! To the gorgeous and wonderful Dina Merrill!
I was looking at a very old demo reel, of some of her early films, and she was so beautiful it LITERALLY took my breath away. I have never seen anything equal.
