Chelsea welcomes back the wonderful Wes Perry to book club silver screen legend Lauren Bacall’s memoir, “By Myself and Then Some.” They dive into Bacall’s golden-age Hollywood tales—from her whirlwind marriage to Humphrey Bogart and painful rebound with Frank Sinatra to her iconic roles alongside Marilyn Monroe and her enduring political activism. Get out your (DECAFFEINATED!!!!!) drink of choice as we ponder: did Lauren Bacall actually name “The Rat Pack”?
