Lauren Bacall dead
- Thread starter jespah
- Start date
I've always loved Betty in her Humphrey Bogart movies and have always thought of her as the coolest women of her day. One of the very last reminders of a bygone era is lost to us all, forever. Truly, we shall never see her like, again.
Agreed. I clearly remember seeing Lauren Bacall for the first time in "To Have and Have Not" as a young boy on an old black and white television on a 'late late' movie and falling immediately in love. She grabbed my heart then and never let go (in fact even as I typed this my heart leapt). My first thoughts to my wife were that it's nice she is now with Bogey. That's a great photo you posted, 2takesfrake, thanks. RIP, Ms. Bacall.
Incredibly, yes. I watched To Have and Have Not the other night (for the first time in too long) and was blown away all over again by her performance - particularly her delivery of that legendary set of lines. A really remarkable performance from someone so young in her first movie role.
They don't make 'em like that any more. More's the pity.
I get that reference, but only because I read the feuilleton pages.
Sexy babe that taught us how to whistle and do it well, and was an amazing actress. I will always remember her for how beautiful she was in photo shoots:
Have a great time in the afterlife with Bogie, dollface.

Woah, heavy couple of weeks. Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall, Dick Smith, Arlene Martel, and SPFX-guy Joe Viskocil.
Just stop!
Even just before this spate of misery, It seemed that the universe was being drained. Even this board seemed to lose vitality.
Goodbye Lauren. She was indeed steel with curves.
Dick Smith and Lauren Bacall both dying around the same time of Robin Williams' suicide is disappointing, but Robin Williams - or Rik Mayall the other month - strike much harder because they were much younger in comparison.
Lauren Bacall, Mickey Rooney, Gregory Peck ... I mean ... who's left, really from the Golden Age of Hollywood? A handful, maybe? It's something, watching these old movies, where people are having to pull levers to get an elevator to work. People who shave by lathering up using a brush and a jar of soap. Who only had radio shows and books to entertain themselves with at home. People who rode on coal-powered trains. All of that kind of stuff. And they saw the world evolve out of that to what it is, today. Losing so much Living History kind of hurts us all, in a way.
Woah, heavy couple of weeks. Robin Williams, Lauren Bacall, Dick Smith, Arlene Martel, and SPFX-guy Joe Viskocil.

I agree, very sad couple of weeks...... Rest in Peace.
