A description of William Perske in "Bewitched By Lauren Bacall" by Richard Cohen, in the Washington Post, 13 Aug 2014:
"He lived in an apartment house right over the District line, and he invited me to come see him. He would meet me in the lobby. I asked how I would recognize him. That, he said, would not be a problem.
Boy, was he right! The man in the lobby was Lauren Bacall, had she been born a man and had aged some. He had her face, all the features pointing down, sultry and aquiline — all in all, totally Bacallish."
