Bacall detailed his "fantasies" on Stevenson.
In her book, Bacall shared how it was attracted to Stevenson, who, similar to Bogart, was 24 years from her senior.
"I fantasized that I would be a long distance partner ... A good friend with whom he could feel free to talk about everything," she wrote, calling him "a great man capable of ... Improve the world".

Bogie and Bacall Explains that it is not clear if Bacall's affair with Stevenson has become more than emotional. Once, they went to each other to Palm Springs, and Mann writes: "If a sexual relationship has developed between the two, it was probably there".
Bogie would have known Bacall's attraction for Stevenson and said to a friend: "Miss Bacall supports Governor Stevenson wholeheartedly, to the point of vomiting." He would also have tried to prevent Bacall from visiting Stevenson in Illinois, but she went anyway.
