Line 1: {{~~work~~creator}} [[File:bacall6_9502.jpg\|frame]] {{quote\|''You know how to whistle don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together... and blow.''\|'''"Slim"''' (Lauren Bacall) in ''To Have and Have Not''}} Lauren Bacall was one of the best, sexiest and sexiest-voiced actresses of 1940s and '50s Hollywood. Known for her range as an actress, she could do everything from serious, [[Film Noir]] dramatic roles like ''[[The Big Sleep (~~Film~~film)\|The Big Sleep]]'' to ridiculous comedies of errors like 1953's ''[[How to Marry Aa Millionaire]]'' (with [[Betty Grable]] and [[Marilyn Monroe]]). Born Betty Joan Perske in 1924, she had a career that is a real example of [[Follow Your Dreams]]: after her parents separated, her mother encouraged the young Betty to make it big in show business. After a [[Stage Names\|name change]] and [[Dye Hard\|hair coloring]] (the name "Perske" sounded too Jewish, apparently), she did. Bacall appeared in four movies with [[Humphrey Bogart]], whom she married [[May -December Romance\|despite being over 20 years younger than him]]. Starting in [[The Sixties]], she stopped really appearing in films, but had a rather successful career on Broadway and as a liberal activist. Line 12: She often got [[Tsundere]]-type roles, proof that the trope is older than anime. Incidentally, Bacall is a first cousin of Shimon Peres, [[~~Useful Notes/Israel\|~~Israel]]'s current president and former prime minister, who won the [[Nobel Prize\|Nobel Peace Prize]] with Rabin and Arafat for trying to fix the [[Arab -Israeli Conflict]]. Peres was born Szymon Perski. One wonders what their family reunions (if any) are like. ~~=== She fits these tropes: ===~~ {{creatortropes}} * [[Dye Hard]]: Naturally a brunette, she dyed her hair red as a career move, and stuck with it. * [[Green Eyes]]: ''Extremely'' bright ones. * [[Last Girl Wins]]: Bogart's marriage to her was his longest, and the only one that didn't end in divorce. * [[Last of His Kind\|Last of Her Kind:]] She's one of a very select few members of The Golden Age of Hollywood who's still around. More specifically, of the 15 giants of Old Hollywood that Madonna name checks in the song "Vogue," she's the only one still alive. * [[May -December Romance]] * [[Matzo Fever]]: She attracted the attention of gentiles everywhere, and married two of them: Humphrey Bogart and Jason Robards. * [[Stage Name]], given to her by [[Howard Hawks]]. Her close friends still call her "Betty," though, and Bogie called her "Baby." * [[Statuesque Stunner]] * [[Tsundere]]: Her screen persona. * [[What Beautiful Eyes!]] ~~=== Partial~~ {{filmography~~: ===~~}} * ''[[The Big Sleep (~~Film~~film)\|The Big Sleep]]'' (1946) * ''[[Key Largo]]'' (1948) * ''[[How to Marry Aa Millionaire]]'' (1953) * ''[[Murder Onon the Orient Express]]'' (1974) * ''[[The Shootist]]'' (1976) * ''[[Misery]]'' (1990) Line 38 ⟶ 37: {{reflist}} {{Cecil B.
