Reading through the comments section on that article, apparently yesterday (well, two days ago now) the same website ran almost a verbatim piece about Robin Williams, saying his death was just a rumor. I don't know what they are there: The Onion wannabees with no sense of humor or tact, piss-poor reporters who can't get their facts straight, or people who employ the flakiest psychics in North America.
But, if you see them mention your name in an article, better make sure your life insurance premiums are paid up.

Legend
Some of the movie roles did not fit him, but try catching him on a talk show or a stand-up routine somewhere where he wasn't bound by a script. He could adapt to the crowd and seemed to know tons of jokes, as well as create new ones on the fly. Very few comedians can do that, and he did this consistently for over 30 years.

Actress Lauren Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske, supposedly a cousin of former Israeli prime minister Shimon Peres) was probably best-known as the wife of actor Humphrey Bogart - their relationship was "immortalized" in the insipid Key Largo song by Bertie Higgins, which was a huge hit in the early 80's ("We had it all / Just like Bogie and Bacall / Starring in our own late, late show / Sailing away to Key Largo").
A true beauty, Bacall first found fame as a fashion model, where she earned the nickname "The Look". She became acquainted with Bogart in 1944 on the set of To Have an Have Not, their first of four films together (the others were The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948)). Shortly after completing To Have and Have Not, Bogart divorced his third wife (Mayo Methot) and just eleven days later he married Bacall at Malabar Farm near Mansfield, Ohio. The couple remained together until Bogie's death from cancer in 1957.
Bacall was one of the last links to the Golden Age of Hollywood. Her best films were probably The Big Sleep and Key Largo, both of which are classics.
