Bacall was staying in the same New York apartment building as Beatle John Lennon when he was shot (and later died on 8th December in the Roosevelt Hospital) in 1980. When interviewed on the subject in a recent UK TV programme hosted by former model Twiggy, Bacall said she had heard the gunshot but assumed that it was a car tire bursting or a vehicle backfiring.

Shortly after Humphrey Bogart's death, she announced her engagement to Frank Sinatra to the press. Mr. Sinatra promptly backed out.

She and former Israeli Prime Minister Shimon Peres (currently the foreign minister) are cousins. Both have the same original last name -- Perske.

Those close to her call her by her real first name, "Betty".

Still undiscovered, Bacall volunteered as a hostess at the New York chapter of the Stage Door Canteen, working Monday nights when theaters were closed.

"Bogart-Bacall syndrome"' (or BBS) is a form of muscle tension dysphonia most common in professional voice users (actors, singers, TV/radio presenters, etc) who habitually use a very low speaking pitch. BBS is more common among women than men and has been blamed on "social pressure on professional women to compete with men in the business arena".

Personal quotes
"She's a real Joe. You'll fall in love with her like everybody else." - Humphrey Bogart

"I never believed marriage was a lasting institution... I thought that to be married for five years was to be married forever."

"I was this flat-chested, big-footed, lanky thing."

"I don't think being the only child of a single parent helped. I was always a little unsteady in my self-belief. Then there was the Jewish thing. I love being Jewish, I have no problem with it at all. But it did become like a scar, with all these people saying you don't look it."

"I remember my oldest son, Steve, saying to me once, 'I don't ever remember seeing you with an apron on.' And I thought, that's right, honey, you did not. That was his concept of what a mother should be."

"I would hate now [2005] to be married. It does occur to me on occasion that, if I fall and hit my head, there will be no one to make the phone call. But who wants to think about that disaster, I'd prefer not to."

"I am still working, I've never stopped and, while my health holds out, I won't stop."

"I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices. If you want a good marriage, you must pay attention to that. If you want to be independent, go ahead. You can't have it all."

"Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom. If you photograph well, that's enough. I have a terrible time distinguishing one from another. Girls wear their hair the same, and are much too anorexic-looking."

"We live in an age of mediocrity. Stars today are not the same stature as Bogie (Humphrey Bogart), James Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart (James Stewart)."

"It's inappropriate and vulgar and absolutely unacceptable to use your private life to sell anything commercially, but I think it's kind of a sickness."

"A legend involves the past. I don't like categories. This one is great and that one is great. The word great stands for something. When you talk about a great actor, you're not talking about Tom Cruise."
Salary
Two Guys from Milwaukee (1946) $5,000
To Have and Have Not (1944) $125/week

Mini Biography
Lauren Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske on September 16, 1924 in New York City. Her parents were middle-class with her father working as a salesman and her mother as a secretary. They divorced when she was five. When she was a young school girl, Lauren originally wanted to be a dancer, but later became enthralled with acting so she switched gears to head into that field. She had studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York, after high school, which enabled her to get her feet wet in some off-Broadway productions.

Once out of school, Lauren entered modeling and, because of her beauty, appeared on the cover of Harper's Bazaar, one of the most popular magazines in the US. The wife of famed director, Howard Hawks spotted the picture in the publication and arranged with her husband to have Lauren take a screen test. As a result, which was entirely positive, she was given a part as Marie Browning in To Have and Have Not (1944), a thriller opposite the great Humphrey Bogart, when she was just 19 years old. This not only set the tone for a fabulous career, but also one of Hollywood's greatest love stories (she married him in 1945.) It was, also, the first of several Bogie-Bacall films.

After 1945's Confidential Agent (1945), Lauren received second billing in The Big Sleep (1946) with Bogart. The mystery, in the role of Vivian Sternwood Rutledge, was a resounding success. Although she was making one film a year, each production would be eagerly awaited by the public. In 1947, again with her husband, Lauren starred in the thriller Dark Passage (1947). The film kept movie patrons on the edge of their seats. The following year she starred with Bogart, Edward G. Robinson, and Lionel Barrymore in Key Largo (1948). The crime drama was even more of a nail biter than the previous film. In 1950, Lauren played in Bright Leaf (1950), a drama set in 1894. It was a film of note because she appeared without her husband - her co-star was Gary Cooper. In 1953, Lauren appeared in her first comedy as Schatze Page in How to Marry a Millionaire (1953). The film, with co-stars Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable, was a smash hit all across the theaters of America.

After filming Designing Woman (1957) which was released in 1957, Humphrey Bogart died on January 14, 1957 from throat cancer. Devastated at being a widow, Lauren returned to the silver screen with The Gift of Love (1958) in 1958 opposite Robert Stack. The production turned out to be a big disappointment. Not undaunted, Lauren moved back to New York City and appeared in several Broadway plays to huge critical acclaim. She was enjoying playing before live audiences and the audiences in turn enjoyed her fine performances. Lauren was away from the big screen for five years returning in 1964 to appear in Shock Treatment (1964) and Sex and the Single Girl (1964). The latter film was a comedy starring Henry Fonda and Tony Curtis. In 1966, Lauren starred in Harper (1966) with Paul Newman and Julie Harris. It was one of Newman's signature films. Alternating her time between films and the stage, Lauren returned in 1974's Murder on the Orient Express (1974). The film, based on Agatha Christie's best selling book was a huge hit. It, also, garnered Ingrid Bergman her third Oscar. Actually, the huge star studded cast helped to ensure its success. Two years later, in 1976, Lauren co-starred with John Wayne in The Shootist (1976). The film was Wayne's last - he died from cancer in 1979.

In 1981, Lauren played an actress being stalked by a crazed admirer in The Fan (1981). The thriller was absolutely fascinating with Lauren in the lead role. After that production, Lauren was away from films, again, this time for seven years. In the interim, she again appeared on the stages of Broadway. When she returned, it was for the filming of 1988's Mr. North (1988). After Misery (1990), in 1990, and several made for television films, Lauren appeared in 1996's My Fellow Americans (1996). It was a wonderful comedy romp with Jack Lemmon and James Garner as two ex-presidents and their escapades.

Mini Biography-2
from Leonard Maltin's Movie Encyclopedia:
Her unforgettable instruction on whistling in her first film, 1944's To Have and Have Not is the thinking woman's variation on Mae West's "come up and see me some time," and that distinction provides a valuable clue to Bacall's uniqueness. Although the beautiful, lithe ex-model was dubbed "The Look" upon arriving in Hollywood, it was more than the raised eyebrow that made her irresistible when she finally got before the camera. It was the way she delivered a line-worldly but never jaded, slyly cynical but never sour-that cinched her appeal. Bacall broke into pictures courtesy of the then Mrs. Howard Hawks, who showed a "Harper's Bazaar" cover shot of Bacall to her producer/director husband. He had Bacall flown in from the East Coast almost instantly and cast her opposite Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not The 19-year-old ingenue and 45-yearold screen star fell in love on the set, and married in 1945. They appeared together in three other films: In The Big Sleep (1946, also directed by Hawks), their uncanny chemistry rescued that picture from its impenetrable plot. While 1947's Dark Passage was the least interesting of their films together, 1948's classic Key Largo exploited their chemistry in a darker, more mature context.

Few of Bacall's other films were memorable; among her costarring vehicles were Confidential Agent (1945), Young Man With a Horn (1950), the very enjoyable How to Marry a Millionaire (1953), Woman's World (1954), The Cobweb, Blood Alley (both 1955), soap opera supreme, Written on the Wind (1956), The Gift of Love (1958), and Flame Over India (1959). She spent much of the 1950s caring for her ailing husband, until his death from cancer in 1957. In 1961 Bacall married actor Jason Robards, Jr. (they divorced in 1969). Her film appearances in the 1960s and 1970s were sporadic; indeed, she took eight years off from the screen between 1966 and 1974, coming back in Sidney Lumet's all-star adaptation of Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. During her hiatus from Hollywood she worked on the stage, garnering kudos for her work in Broadway's "Applause." In 1981 she played a star terrorized by a crazed admirer in The Fan-touching a raw nerve in that era of John Hinckley and Mark Chapman-and since then has taken occasional supporting roles in telefilms and features, including that of James Caan's agent in Misery (1990), a costarring part opposite Anthony Quinn in the unreleased A Star for Two and the hostess (originally played by Billie Burke) in the TV remake of Dinner at Eight (1989). In 1993 she reunited with Gregory Peck (her costar in 1957's romantic comedy Designing Woman for the enjoyable TV movie The Portrait and costarred in A Foreign Field with Alec Guinness. Her distinctive voice has also been heard with growing frequency on TV commercials.

Hi,

Lauren Bacall made just 2 films with Duke,

The Shootist (http://www.dukewayne.com/showthread.php?t=1747) (1976) .... Bond Rogers
Blood Alley (http://www.dukewayne.com/showthread.php?t=1814) (1955) .... Cathy Grainger

Originally of course, in Blood Alley Duke wanted Humphrey Bogart to play
the lead, but he declined, due to the price.
Lauen Bacall, was cast as the leading lady.
When Duke finally took the part, he and Lauren, got along famously,
even though they had opposing political views.
Duke admired her backbone, her confidence in her beliefs, her humour,
and her ability to express her convictions.

During the making of The Shootist , Lauren, claimed that
Duke was ornery, but then again, insisted, that he'd always been ornery!
I knew he felt rotten all the time..but he never complained..
Once he said, 'God, I can't smoke anymore, can't drink anymore, all the fun's gone'.
Lauren sensed that Duke was struggling with his own mortality,

A crew member at the time commented,
One day when we were wating for the set to be lighted,
Wayne took Bacall's hand, and held it.
and Duke said
"Boy it's a beautiful day!"...Everyday you wake up, is a beautiful day"

Why would he have said this back in 1955? Wasn't he still smoking and drinking then? Had cancer reared its ugly head yet?

Hi Chester, Mrs.,

These remarks were made,

DUH! Of course! I don't know why I assumed those remarks were from the fifties!

:headbonk: :headbonk:

Mrs. C :angel1: (Chester had nothing to do with that dumb question!)

Lauren Bacall was very lovely in Blood Alley, and graciously beautiful in The Shootist. I'm glad we had a chance to see her alongside Duke on film.

As with Katharine Hepburn, the web sites are many, I hope I picked the better ones :rolleyes: .

(photos from my own collection)

Looking at the photographs at the beginning of this thread they seem to have been taken during the seventies or even later. These are showing how she looked early in her career displaying 'The Look' for which she bacame known. This one was taken to highlight her place as one of the mpire Magazines 100 Most Sexiest Woman.

And heres another version of the Look, slighty quizzical perhaps? At present I'm reading her book, I haven't reached the part where she played next to John Wayne.

Arthur

Thank you Arthur! We never get tired of looking at Lauren Bacall!

Chester:newyear:

Arthur posting those lovely photos,

Hi Kieth

Great photographs. n her book she says that despite Bogart having black moods when he was very very drunk, the time she spent with him was the best time of her life. They seemed to be an idllyic couple.

And like Jim and Sue I never tire of looking at her photographs.


Regards

Arthur

Arthur, it does look pretty obvious,
from the pictures, that they totally idolised,
one another!

Here's some shots from Blood Alley,

Just to re-introduce one of Duke's leading gals.

Don't know if it's really her, but decide for yourself,

I am not really sure what I am supposed to be seeing there, but after I typed in her name on the sight I came across two articles one was dealing with an honorary Oscar and the other with her twitter page.

It was the one about her Twitter page, but ,alas, its gone by the wayside.
Basically it indicated Lauren had a Twitter page that one could follow.

Lauren Bacall, 2 others receive early Oscars

LOS ANGELES – Without the burden of a live worldwide broadcast, members of the film academy threw themselves a lively yet relaxed dinner party to honor the first Oscar winners of the season.
The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences broke with tradition and presented its honorary Oscars off-camera Saturday night, months ahead of the televised ceremony in March.
Actress Lauren Bacall, B-movie king Roger Corman and "Godfather" cinematographer Gordon Willis each received Oscar statuettes during the black-tie banquet at the Grand Ballroom above the Kodak Theatre, the same room where the annual post-Academy Awards Governors Ball is held.
In addition, producer John Calley was honored with the Irving J. Thalberg Memorial Award, recognizing career accomplishments that include "Catch-22," "The Remains of the Day" and "The Da Vinci Code."
Each of the recipients was chosen by the academy's Board of Governors.
Tom Hanks, Jack Nicholson, Annette Bening, Morgan Freeman and Steven Spielberg were among the 600 invited guests at the inaugural Governors Awards event.
"We're gathered here together, all artists, celebrating excellence without any television cameras — isn't it great?" said veteran producer Norman Jewison.
Warren Beatty agreed: "It's so much better ... that nobody's worrying whether 36.5 million people are watching us or 29.2," he said.
Guests drank Champagne and dined on filet mignon as each honoree was celebrated with tributes, toasts and a generous montage of film clips — leisurely elements not possible in previous years when special-Oscar presentations were built into the already-crowded Oscar broadcast.
Corman, 83, was the first to be honored Saturday night. The longtime producer-director was lauded for being a champion of independent and efficient filmmaking and for promoting women to positions of leadership long before it was popular.
Quentin Tarantino said the man behind films such as "Bloody Mama" and "X: The Man With the X-Ray Eyes," inspired him to become a filmmaker. He praised Corman for his "undeniable impact on the industry, both as a business and as an art form."
"The movie lovers of planet earth thank you," Tarantino said.
Ron Howard credited Corman with giving him his start as a filmmaker, saying working for Corman was "a badge of honor."
Corman's advice to his peers? "Keep gambling. Keep taking chances."
Kirk Douglas honored Bacall, his friend for more than 60 years, and confessed that he once tried to seduce her — "without success."
Anjelica Huston presented the award to the legendary actress, saying she "defines what it means to be a great actress and also a huge movie star" and praising her "steadfastness, honesty and extraordinary beauty."
Ever feisty, the 85-year-old actress shooed away an escort who tried to help her to the podium to accept her Oscar.
She spoke of her late husband, "my great love" Humphrey Bogart, and her dashing leading men: Douglas, Gregory Peck and Henry Fonda.
Bacall said she did not expect to receive an Oscar but gratefully welcomed the honor.
"The thought when I get home that I'm going to have a two-legged man in my room is so exciting," she quipped.

Though not televised, the Governors Awards were taped and portions will be shown during the 82nd annual Academy Awards on March 7, 2010.

Huh, Bogart was 25 years older then her. That is crazy. What is even crazier is I didn't even know that they were married. It is amazing because I usually know these kind of things. But, Bogart was never really a actor that I followed, atleast that is my excuse is and I am sticking to it!! hehehe!

Hi guys, just reading this thread, very interesting, thanks. Just wanted to add that did you know she was awarded The Katharine Hepburn Medal in 2006 ? One of the first ever to receive it....it's awarded by Bryn Mawr College P.A ...here's what they say...

"The Katharine Hepburn Medal recognises women whose lives, work and contributions embody the intelligence, drive and independence of the four time Oscar winning actress "

Huh, Bogart was 25 years older then her. That is crazy. What is even crazier is I didn't even know that they were married. It is amazing because I usually know these kind of things. But, Bogart was never really a actor that I followed, atleast that is my excuse is and I am sticking to it!! hehehe!
Hey, I guess that means if the Mrs. leaves me (which she might after I say this), I could find a mid-thirties babe . . . heh, heh, heh.

Yes, Bogie was married to Bacall. The Mrs. and I went through a phase of watching a bunch of Bogart movies a few years ago, so had opportunity to read a little about him. We enjoyed most of his movies.

It's interesting that Lauren Bacall won that award, but what's even more interesting to me is that Ms. Bacall is still alive (having turned 85 last September). Truly, someone who has worked with the greats and is one herself.
