Line 6:
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)|The Big Sleep]]'' to ridiculous comedies of errors like 1953's ''[[How to Marry A 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
Starting in [[The Sixties]], she stopped really appearing in films, but had a rather successful career on Broadway and as a liberal activist.
Line 20:
* [[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
* [[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."
