Why don’t you hear more about them? She had 4 kids.

Because they're really normal? She was a good mother. Celeb offspring is only covered when they're troublesome; which is most of 'em

Most celebrities HIRE people to raise their children. Elizabeth Taylor did not raise hers by herself.

They're not covered because they're not in show biz and they're all less than gorgeous.

Not about Taylor, but I just read how Bogart and Bacall hired a nurse to stay with their kid while they went to Africa for him to make African Queen. He was only 4 months old. While watching the plane take off, the nurse had a heart attack and died, with the kid in her arms. And still Bacall didn't turn back.

Unless it was a private plane, R8, I don’t see how she could have it turn back. Even that would be hard. How did they tell her about it, by cell phone? You are nuts.

R9 Of course meant that once Bacall was informed - when the plane touched down (in London), she did not turn back.

Yet even before his father's death, he had sometimes felt abandoned by his mother. When he was 2, his parents left for Africa, where Bogart was to film "The African Queen" and Ms. Bacall would keep him company for four months. As Stephen was waving goodbye to their plane, the nurse who was holding him had a cerebral hemorrhage and died. Informed of the nurse's death, "my mother did not come back," Mr. Bogart writes. She was, he understands now, totally devoted to her husband. (NY Times review of Stephen Bogart's book)

At the time of his father’s death, Stephen Bogart was eight years old, his sister Leslie was five, and they were being raised in the more or less traditional Hollywood manner — by nannies. Speaking of nannies, Bogart’s dropped dead on the tarmac as his parents were taking off to make “The African Queen.” When they landed in London, his mother called the family doctor and got another nanny. “That’s the way things were done at that time,” says Bogart.

R8/R12, You’ve left out the fact that upon arriving in London, Bacall immediately contacted her mother Natalie and she cared for Stephen until the Bogarts returned from the Belgian Congo, where “The African Queen” was filmed.

Stephen Bogart is a bore with a trust fund. NEXT!

Because we don’t “hear about” people who do not lead public lives. Is that hard to understand?

It only speaks well of them and of her specially in this age of nepo babies. They are probably enjoying their inheritance in anonimity, as they should. Unfortunately to some people this is not enough.

They is the chil’en o’ Hollywood ROYALTY! Neglected with their violet eyes and White Diamonds horde. They’s freaky in the face and smell spectacular.

All those white diamonds came from slave labor in Africa. They should all be embarrassed of their wealth.

We don't hear about them because real journalism is dead. Or maybe there's been a coverup or several coverups.

Told you I was hard core.

I saw them on an awards show once back in the 80s or early 90s and they were gorgeous.

They each got $100 million in her will.

4 Kids and best friends with Michael Jackson.

At four months there would be exactly zero impact on the child. Layren did exactly what should have been done, and had her mother step in. of course nowadays the kid would be bleating the story to anyone who would listen expecting to earn a lifetime income off the story.

R23 That’s how you know he is innocent. A weirdo for sure but innocent.

Her children lead quiet, dignified lives, outside of the spotlight. They continue her legacy.

Michael Jackson was criminally insane. He totally molested those boys.
