Rest in Peace: Legendary screen actress and model Lauren Bacall passed away August 12 after suffering a massive stroke. She was 89.
Bacall's natural beauty and sizzling deep voice made her a box office femme fatale. Some of her best films were with husband Humphrey Bogart during the film noir era. Bogey and Bacall starred together in "To Have and Have Not," "The Big Sleep," "Dark Passage," and "Key Largo." Post-Bogey films that featured Bacall were "How to Marry a Millionaire," which headlined Marilyn Monroe and Betty Grable; "Written in the Wind" starring alongside Rock Hudson; and "Designing Women" where she played opposite Gregory Peck.
By the 1960s, and after Bogart's death, Bacall's movie career had tapered off. She hit Broadway and impressed audiences with performances in "Goodbye Charlie," Cactus Flower," and earned Tony Awards for her roles in "Applesauce" and "Woman of the Year."
Bacall also ventured into television guest roles with appearances in "Dr. Kildare," "The Rockford Files," "The Sopranos," and "Family Guy," as well as roles in TV films "Perfect Gentlemen" and "A Little Piece of Sunshine."
Lauren Bacall is survived by three children, two from her marriage to Humphrey Bogart, and one son, actor Sam Robards from her second marriage to Jason Robards.
