November 6, 2006 -- IT'S hard to believe, but employees at the Metropolitan Opera didn't recognize screen legend Lauren Bacall on Halloween night. Bacall went to see "Madama Butterfly" at the Met and wanted to congratulate tenor Marcello Giordani in person. However, security posted backstage had no idea who she was, according to billymas-ters.com, and since her name wasn't on the list, she was denied entry. Bacall had to cool her heels in the Met's legendary "tunnel" while members of the tenor's fan club who were on the official list were admitted. When Giordani heard Bacall was waiting for him outside, he rushed to greet her, but she was gone.

Famously, Bacall put a young pretender, Nicole Kidman, in her place at the Venice film festival: "She's not a legend, she's a beginner. She can't be a legend, you have to be older." It went down badly. But no one questioned her right to say it. Bacall, for certain, is a film legend.
