Lauren Bacall, one of the last links to Hollywood's golden age, has answered her final casting call......

http://www.cnn.com/2014/08/12/showbiz/l ... index.html

She was a fine actress and a long-time supporter of human rights going back to an era when such allegiance was not always appreciated and could often become a career killer.

So long, kiddo......RIP

:cry:

Yes, very sad news. Lauren Bacall was one of those people you just wanted to live forever and we've lost someone who was a genuine movie star from the age of classic film making. I'm a huge fan of those Bogart and Bacall movies, the sizzling on-screen chemistry between the two of them was quite magical.

And hot damn, she was jaw-droppingly beautiful in her time.

I watch Key Largo and The Big Sleep every chance I get, and Dark Passasge is best! She will be missed.

“You know you don’t have to act with me, Steve... You don’t have to say anything and you don’t have to do anything... Not a thing...

Oh, maybe just whistle... You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve?

You just put your lips together and blow...”


Marie Browning in “To Have and Have Not” - 1944

Arjay, thanks for posting. A stunning beauty with a voice that could melt a mans heart, a great loss, R.I.P. Lauren Bacall.

She definitely had that certain something. A real star, in a mould they truly don't make anymore.

Cheers - C
