Lauren Bacall. 1944
Gorgeous and classy. A real spitfire of a woman.
I’ll miss her.
I just watched The Big Sleep again a week or two ago. She and Bogart were dynamite together.
Vivian: You’ve forgotten one thing - me.
Philip Marlowe: What’s wrong with you?
Vivian: Nothing you can’t fix.
Loved her in everything she did. She certainly aged beautifully. (Didn’t know she was related to Shimon Peres!)
I loved her from the time I first saw her. Always classy. What a woman. Bogey was lucky.
Rest in Peace.
Here’s to Howard Hawkes who discovered her, taught her how to address the camera and photographed her in her 1st defining film…
There’s never been a star past or present with a nuclear-level sexuality like hers. You’d think she could raise an eyebrow that way and everything in the room would burst into flame. It was just a raw, irresistible power she had.
