Born Betty Joan Perske in the Bronx, New York in 1924, she married Humphrey Bogart in 1945 and the pair remained together until his death from esophageal cancer in 1957.

At their time of marriage, Bacall was 20 and he was 45. They had two children, Stephen Humphrey Bogart and Leslie Bogart.

After a brief romance with Frank Sinatra following Bogart’s death, (“He behaved like a complete s---”, she later said) Bacall married Jason Robards Jr in 1961 and divorced him in 1969 mainly because of his alcoholism. They had one son, Sam Robards.

Bacall got her big break in the 1944 thriller To Have and Have Not when she was just 19. It was here she met her future husband Humphrey Bogart and was the first of many “Bogie-Bacall” films.

A star was born after she delivered the immortal line to Bogart: “You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.”

Their son Stephen told People in 1996: “Everyone could see their love right there on celluloid. He was the great love of her life, and she his.”

Bacall was also famous for her roles in Key Largo, A Woman’s World, Murder on the Orient Express, The Fan, The Portrait and won a Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress for her role in The Mirror Has Two Faces in 1997.

She was also awarded the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 1993 Golden Globes.

Bacall, who won an honorary Oscar in 2009 is the only Oscar winner to be married to two other winners (Bogart and Robards).

The news comes just a day after the world was shocked by the death of another legendary actor, Robin Williams.

Tributes quickly poured in on social media.
