Died aged 89 but what a woman in her prime. Stunning, stunning lady.

Link to a golden time of movies and proper, healthy-looking stunning women

The black and white doesn't do her justice in fairness.

A voice of pure gravel, the face of an angel, and by all accounts the sense of humour and vocabulary of a drunken sailor. She never looked like a weakling or a pushover, like so many leading ladies of the time did.

I love to Have and Have Not.

At the funeral for her husband, Humphrey Bogart, Lauren Bacall put a whistle in his coffin. It was a reference to the famous line she says to him in their first film together To Have and Have Not (1944): "You know how to whistle, don't you? You just put your lips together and blow.".

A woman who stood out amongst the other stars of the era.

RIP.

One of those people that you are amazed to find were still alive.

Used to watch old black and white movies with my Dad and she just lit up the scenes she was in. Perfect woman and, yes, that voice....

"You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now."

RIP

She supposedly came up with the Rat Pack name. Bogie and a group of his actor friends from NY including Frank Sinatra regularly socialised and drank heavily together, she would refer to them as the Rat Pack.

RIP Lauren Bacall
Have never seen her black & white films I enjoyed her performance on the
sopranos when Chris robbed her celebrity goodie bag she was a tough lady
who taught Humphrey Bogart how to whistle.

Allegedly coined the moniker 'The Rat Pack' though not sure how true that is.

Loved the Bogie and Bacall films. Rest in peace.

RIP, great actress.

Loved her in North West Frontier. She had a good innings. RIP

FloatingVoter · 13-08-2014 2:17pm

As far as I know the Rat Pack she christened was the original crew - including Bogie, David Niven and Errol Flynn. Sinatra was in there too somewhere.
Back when men were men and sheep were nervous.

Taking a song lyric from her generation:
"...and when the night is new,

I'll be looking at the moon,

But I'll be seeing you."

Sleep well Lauren Bacall
