Lauren Bacall was the star of the Broadway play The Cactus Flower, which opened in December 1965 and would run for two years. Her good friend Rock Hudson, whom she had played with in Written on the wind (1956), wanted to throw a party in her honour on 21 October 1966, welcoming her back to Los Angeles. A week before the party, Hudson sent a telegram to Agnes Moorehead (with whom he had starred in Magnificent obsession (1954) and All that heaven allows (1955)), announcing that "that Broadway Cactus Flower, Lauren Bacall, is coming to town" and inviting Agnes to the pajama party he'd be giving at his home the following week. Incidentally, Rock Hudson was known for giving great parties (in case you're interested, on YouTube there's a clip of a party Rock gave on Labour Day 1965, also with Lauren Bacall present (click here)).
