Life and career of a screen legend who defined the golden age of Hollywood



Lauren Bacall was among the last of the old-fashioned Hollywood stars and her legend, and the legend of Bogie and Bacall — the hard-boiled couple who could fight and make up with the best of them — started almost from the moment she appeared on screen



Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske on September 16, 1924, in The Bronx to Natalie Weinstein-Bacall, a Romanian Jewish immigrant, and William Perske, who was born in New Jersey.



After graduating high school, Betty entered the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and tried her hand at modeling, landing on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar.



That is where the wife of director Howard Hawks first saw the ethereal young blonde and convinced her husband to give the aspiring actress a screen test.



It was Hawks who gave Betty a new name, Lauren. The last name Bacall was the maiden name of her mother.



In 1944 Hawks cast Bacall in the role of Marie 'Slim' Browning in the film To Have and Have Not based on a story by Ernest Hemingway opposite Humphrey Bogart as a rugged boat captain named Steve.

Leaving Bogart's hotel room in the film's most memorable scene, she murmured:

‘You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.’

She was less than half Bogart's age, yet as wise and as jaded as him. Her sly glance, with chin down and eyes raised, added to her fame.



Years later, Bacall confessed that her signature 'look' was born out of a sense of insecurity.

Blood Alley

Dark Passage

Key Largo

Designing Woman

Written in the Wind

Murder On The Orient Express

The Mirror Has Two Faces

'I mean, that was what started the look -- was nerves -- just trying to keep my head steady,' Bacall said, according to CNN.



The leading man, who was 25 years older than his seductive co-star and married at the time, divorced his wife shortly after and married Bacall in Ohio in 1945.

They co-starred in three more films, The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948).

Hollywood's glamorous power couple had two children and remained happily married until Bogart's passing from lung cancer in 1957.

Speaking to Larry King in 2005, Bacall described her late first husband as an 'extraordinary, extraordinary' man and herself as an 'extremely lucky' woman.



In the late 1950s, Bacall enjoy a brief romance with Frank Sinatra. The famed crooner went so far as to propose marriage to the glamorous widow, but the engagement was called off after news of it got out.



Four years after Bogart's passing, Bacall tied the knot with Oscar-winning actor Jason Robards, but their marriage fell apart in 1969 . The couple had a son, Sam, who followed in his parents' footsteps.

Over the course of her successful acting career that spanned six decades, Bacall worked on more than 70 films.

The sultry screen siren, whose striking face earned her the nickname The Look, coined by none other than legendary director Billy Wilder, graced with her presence such films as Designing Woman with Gregory Peck; How to Marry a Millionaire with Marilyn Monroe, and Blood Alley opposite John Wayne.

In 1996, Bacall's turn as Hannah, Barbra Streisand's mother in The Mirror Has Two Faces, earned her an Oscar nod for Best Supporting Actress.



Although a sentimental favorite, she lost to Juliette Binoche for her performance in The English Patient. She did, however, win a Golden Globe that year.



Bacall finally received an honorary Academy Award in 2009 at the movie academy's new Governors Awards gala. She was 85 at the time.



'The thought when I get home that I'm going to have a two-legged man in my room is so exciting,' she quipped.

Bacall was always a star. With her willowy figure and flowing ash-blonde hair, she was seemingly born for checked suits and silk dresses.

In good company: Lauren Bacall starred opposite John Wayne in Blood Alley in 1955 On television talk shows, she exhibited a persona that paralleled her screen appearances: She was frank, even blunt, with an undertone of sardonic humor, all of which she demonstrated in her best-selling 1979 autobiography, By Myself, which beat out works by William Saroyan among others for the National Book Award. When her movie career faded, she returned to the theater. She starred in the hit comedy Cactus Flower and stepped lively in Applause, a musical version of the classic movie All About Eve that brought her first Tony in 1970.

She got the second Tony in 1981 for Woman of the Year, based on a film that starred her idol, Katharine Hepburn.

She enjoyed another triumph in London with Sweet Bird of Youth in 1985.

She was ever protective of the Bogart legacy, lashing out at those who tried to profit from his image. In 1997, she appeared at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood for ceremonies launching the U.S. Postal Service's Humphrey Bogart stamp.

When the American Film Institute compiled its list of screen legends in 1999, Bacall ranked No. 20 on the roster of 25 actresses. Bogart topped the list of actors. In her own words: Excerpts from Lauren Bacall's 1978 memoir By Myself

LIFE LESSONS

'I have learned that I am a valuable person. I have made mistakes - so many mistakes. And will make more. Big ones. But I pay. They are my own. ... I remain as vulnerable, romantic and idealistic as I was at 15, sitting in a movie theatre, watching, being Bette Davis.'



BETTE DAVIS

'(Bette Davis) was my 15-year-old idea of perfection - fine actress, dramatic bravery, doomed tragedy, sardonic wit - all an actress should be, and when I cut school I would sit all day in a movie house sobbing through `Dark Victory' or `Jezebel' or `The Old Maid,' smoking in the balcony (I paid for a whole package, so I had to finish it).'



FALLING IN LOVE

'Each time I was in love - this was it. The hunger to belong. Imagination is the highest kite that can fly. When you have nothing but dreams, that's all you think about, all that matters, all that takes you away from humdrummery. ... Dreams were better - that was where my hope lay - I'd hang on to them, never let go. They were my own.'



HUMPHREY BOGART

'There was no way Bogie and I could be in the same room without reaching for one another, and it just wasn't physical. Physical was very strong, but it was everything - heads, hearts, bodies, everything going at the same time.'



AFTER BOGART'S 1957 DEATH

'I was breathing, but there was no life in me. I couldn't think of the future, I could only think of the man I had lost - the man who'd given me everything, taught me about people and living, with whom I had found my way of life.' Role of a lifetime: In 1996, Bacall starred in The Mirror Has Two Faces as Barbra Streisand's mother - a role that earned her an Oscar nod Golden girl: Bacall won a Golden Globe in 1997 for her performance in The Mirror Has Two Faces
