Summary

Actor Larry Clarke, (Twin Peaks, Contagion, The Laundromat) worked for an upscale catering company in the early 90's in NYC. He was offered to work a private party for Lauren Bacall after being warned she was cheap and extremely hard to work for. Larry took the gig cause it was in Dakotas and he was going to meet Anthony Hopkins...but wound up being treated like her personal little slave boy and he almost smashed her Bogie Tiffany glasses in disgust! He stayed...and here's the story.
