Lauren Bacall, American actress, activist, sex symbol and beauty, known for her distinctive voice, sultry looks and beautiful green eyes (September 16, 1924 - August 12, 2014) was born Betty Joan Perske to Jewish parents in The Bronx, New York City. She was named the 20th-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute and received an Academy Honorary Award from the Academy Of Motion Picture Arts And Sciences in 2009 for recognition of her contribution to the Golden Age of motion pictures. Bacall began a career as a model before making her film debut as a leading lady in To Have and Have Not (1944) at the age of 19. She continued in the film noir genre with appearances with Humphrey Bogart in The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947), and Key Largo (1948), and she starred in the romantic comedies How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) with Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable, and Designing Woman (1957) with Gregory Peck. She co-starred with John Wayne in his final film The Shootist (1976) by Wayne's personal request. She also worked on Broadway in musicals, earning Tony Awards for Applause (1970) and Woman of the Year (1981). She won a Golden Globe Award and was nominated for an Academy Award for her performance in The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996). Lauren Bacall died of a massive stroke. one month before her 90th birthday at her longtime apartment in The Dakota, the Upper West Side building near Central Park in Manhattan. She is buried along with her first husband Humphrey Bogart at Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Glendale, Los Angeles County, California. In Peter Bogdanovich's 1964 Esquire Magazine article "Bogie in Excelsis", which drew on interviews with Bogart's friends and associates, he recounts how during his final illness, Bacall rarely left the house because she was caring for him. When someone asked why she had gone out only six or seven times in ten months, Bogart famously replied, "She's my wife and my nurse. So she stays home. Maybe that's the way you tell the ladies from the broads in this town." Bogart was contrasting Bacall's loyalty and devotion with the more superficial "broads" of Hollywood. Given that he was desperately ill at that time, it is a touching little tribute to her -- characteristically Bogart, too, because he wrapped inside a hard-boiled wisecrack something deeply affectionate about the woman he deeply respected, admired and loved.
