Verita Bouvaire Thompson, author and prominent New Orleans figure, died of natural causes on February 1, 2008. She was 89 years old. AuthorViews had the privilege of interviewing and filming Thompson about her book Bogie and Me: A Love Story, a memoir about her 17-year secret love affair with Humphrey Bogart, a portion of which overlapped with Bogart's marriage to Lauren Bacall. Bogie and Me was published in 1982, creating quite a stir because it was the first time Thompson had revealed the affair publicly. AuthorViews shot Thompson's video in New Orleans, where she lived for the last 18 years of her life. She was a stunning woman, well-known throughout the French Quarter for her glamorous style, party-girl attitude, and of course her history with perhaps the most famous movie star of all time. The Associated Press via MercuryNews.com states: All the way to her death, her friends said, Thompson adhered to a striking style and outlook reminiscent of the 1940s and Bogart's movies, dressing in Chanel suits, high heels, hat and gloves - with a whiskey smash in hand.According to Contactmusic.com, Thompson was offered the opportunity to evacuate New Orleans by private jet right before Hurricane Katrina hit, but refused, exclaiming, "Lauren Bacall failed to chase me out of Hollywood. Katrina won't force me out of New Orleans." For more information, check out the articles at: Contactmusic.com MercuryNews.com BayouBuzz.com
