RIP Lauren Bacall

[mongers]

Sad, but what a great character.

US actress Lauren Bacall dies at 89

Her Hollywood career spanned seven decades, with a memorable debut aged 19 opposite her future husband, Humphrey Bogart, in To Have and Have Not.

More than 50 years later, The Mirror Has Two Faces earned her a Golden Globe Award and an Academy Award nomination.

Born in Brooklyn, New York, in 1924, she went on to become one of cinema's biggest stars, best known for her husky voice and beauty.

A Twitter account of the Bogart estate, run by Bacall's son, tweeted: "With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall."

She reportedly died after suffering a major stroke at home.

Bogart was awarded an honorary Oscar in 2009 in recognition of "her central place in the golden age of motion pictures".

She deserves more press than she's getting.  Damn Robin Williams.

She deserves more press than she's getting.

She is not getting a lot of press because she has been out of the public limelight for so long.  Which is how celebrities should go out, decades after they were relevant.  RIP Lauren Bacall.

Is that what they call themselves?  Can you be more self-centered?

Anyway, a great interview with her in '94 - at 69 looking 20 years younger.
