She began as NYC movie usherette worshipping Bette Davis & working with Kirk Douglas before he was Kirk Douglas, raised by single Mom & riding public transit. 1 Harper's cover, several classic films, husband Bogie & 2 beautiful babies later she returned to NYC & became the Toast of Broadway (rather than toast in L.A.), 2 Tonys for 2 starring roles in MUSICALS a DECADE apart with THAT voice. NO ONE had a life like Lauren Bacall Betty Perske, sorry I omitted another legendary husband & child. Also rather than Cary Grant & Davis, her life became Bogart & Hepburn. Read her books, she explains it SO much better, why she's also prize winning author.
@@jamesanthony5681 Not since 2005. A few movies in 2010. Hollywood is dead. There needs to be a new breed of actors, actresses, directors and writers to bring it back.
@@susanb2015 It's expensive to make a movie and fewer are released today, than say, the '40's and '50's during Bacall's era. Her claim to fame was her marriage to Bogart, an actor who made everyone look that played opposite him. She never acted in a part that many others could have done just as well, if not better.
What a wonderful lady and a class act. She didn't get to talk much in this show, but I've watched a couple of interwievs with her in her late 60ies and in her 70ies and those have been very entertaining. Intelligence, humor, style, dignity personified.
She started out her career at the age of 18 as a model . She was discovered by Hollywood when Howard Hawkes's wife saw her on the cover of Harper's Bizarre magazine
Betty Bacall was one lovely woman. Look at that hair when she turns her head. She was gorgeous from every angle. I remember reading in her autobiography that some guy in makeup on her first film wanted to trim her full eyebrows and the filmaker told him "don't you touch her eyebrows, I want her to look exactly the way she looks!" ...or something like that.
It's genuinely depressing that someone so beautiful such as Lauren Bacall lived in a different era to me. I don't think there's ever been a more attractive person that has ever lived.
OmGod! Somebody bring us a TIME MACHINE! I just love the charm of past people. Their 'finesse' and colloquial terms. Such adorable times. A true shame time passes and people go. Bacall is alive, however, as for April 2012!
I love the dress Lauren Bacall wears in this clip. I am thrilled to see how beautiful she was in her youth. And I am also glad to realize she, an octogenarian, still keeps appearing in motion pictures. She is a very good model for the future generations of actresses in Hollywood. Her class remains exactly the same as it did decades ago.
Lauren Bacall was a stunner and she was especially beautiful on this night. Not to mention obviously having a good time. John was also loving it! And who could blame him!
So many people commenting that “they don’t make em like that anymore” “that is a real woman”, etc... the industry use to be able to control all these celebrity’s images, so no, they don’t ‘make em’ like that anymore because celebrities are under major surveillance with their private lives shared with the public, which makes it almost impossible to craft and maintain such a strong narrative and public image like in those days. Ultimately, they would create an image that would sell to the public and celebrities had to maintain that image and do things like take on certain roles (even if they didn’t want to - in Lauren’s case, she was kicked out of the studio several times for refusing roles) because they didn’t have the autonomy they have today. These celebrity personalities are not authentic, they just learned to maintain them in the public eye and the whole industry was involved in upholding it. The industry and these values haven’t changed because celebrities are creating increasingly impossible to reach beauty standards, so I’m not praising what it is today and I wouldn’t advise romanticizing what it used to be either. Romanticizing any of this upholds contrived ideals of beauty and what it means to be a woman.
Her later appearance on the show talking about her successful run in Cactus Flower was in the 1960s. She was older then and also Bogart had died by then. I don't think she was necessarily influenced by Monroe here, but just being her animated self. Maybe in real life, at that point in her life, she was like this, maybe playing it up a little for the audience. It was quite entertaining.
She wasn't in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes . Your eyes were never in her or off her that picture. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.

Lauren Bacall is timeless--the standard of glamour, class, intelligence, and style.
I love how she had to hide her famous husky voice

men always find a way to bring misogyny to these old videos.

@@solarprogeny6736Oh give it a rest, cat lady. 🐈
One of the most beautiful and classy Hollywood stars ever. Those eyes and everything about her is just sensational! RIP dear Lauren.
Her hair is incredible!
There's very little about her that's *not* incredible.
She is fabulous. She’s just gorgeous.
Arlene Francis was right, Bacall was "devastating". She's still a class act today at 89.
They don't make them like that anymore. She was very beautiful. 😍 Oh, and that voice... 💖
Sure they do. Some are classier and nicer.
@@jamesanthony5681Not in the movies.
@@susanb2015 Sure there are. And better actors.

I love how she gets when they ask about her husband. God what a love they must've shared.

We've just lost one of classiest ever to grace the screen.
how bloody fascinating is Lauren Bacall??
love the dress. lauren bacall is sooooo classy. totally trumps over anything modern Hollywood throws out now.
I agree with Jim... wow! And she does rather move like a cat.
So charming! And one of the truly fulfilled people, one of those with a lucky star.
She had the cutest smile!
She taught me how to whistle too
The host has a great job. One more short conference!
Playful, charming, gorgeous.
That gorgeous dress!!
Wow! .. People of the old days were so classy, unlike now a days.
Lauren bacall is the sweetest cutest person ever I would of done anything to meet her x
Simply flawless.

That wiggle!
goldenthroat86 Back in the 50's celeb was not a common word, they were stars. Anyone can be a celeb these days, even the weather girl.
I was 10 when this aired. My wife was 3. Our daughter b. 1985 is named Lauren.
Both class acts.
she is so stunning!
Lauren looks soo gorgeous!
Wow! a great deal of class.. without being too obvious and delightful instead!! Class .. pure class!
Black and white makes Bacall GORGEOUS. I don't think she ever looked more beautiful than sitting here on this show being herself.
I have always loved her....a true fox!
ms. bacall is so beautiful!
One of the most gorgeous women ever.
Who would have not wanted a small conference with Ms Bacall.
Great beauty, intelligence and style a rare combination.
I'm doing research right now to find out how to replicate that hairdo. And that dress. Oh-la-la!
Wow, wow, wow! What a woman!!
I'd be tempted to have many "side conferences" too! Class act.
Definition of drop dead gorgeous!!!
I love the dress Lauren Bacall wears in this clip. I am thrilled to see how beautiful she was in her youth. And I am also glad to realize she, an octogenarian, still keeps appearing in motion pictures. She is a very good model for the future generations of

She was so gorgeous in her 1940's movies.
What a GORGEOUS lady!
She was ageless and amazingly talented; she looked like she had so much fun taping this episode.
shit imagine having Lauren Bacall whispering in you ear I'm weeeakk
Lauren Bacall makes my heart skip a beat.
"Are you over 21?" "Oui!" "You'll do!" Hahahahaha
She was so awesome....Loved her in "To Have and Have Not"
Oh my God!
Bogie was some lucky bastard.
If you marry enough times you are bound to get lucky. I believe Lauren was Bogie's third try at marriage.
@@jackanthony976 Correct. His second wife was a raging alcoholic.
Actually 4th as I have heard Lauren Bacall say herself
@@alanfoster6589 3rd , Bacall was his fourth
What a beauty!
Wow, Lauren look wonderful!

She was a beautiful woman that was so seductive looking in this clip.
Daly's reaction to the "glamor girl" question was fantastic...."yeaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh"
"Are you over 21?"
"Oui mMnsieur"
"You'll do!" Lol!!
pure elegance and grace! wonderful!
Yeah.....she had an absolutely adorable smile, and a rather contagious one too if you ask me!
Quelle belle voix ! quel charme !
She's having soooo much fun!
For those too young to remember, this is what we used to call a WOMAN.
Man...what a woman.......
She was such a beautiful woman right up to the time she left us. And that voice!!! Like smooth whiskey.....I simply adore her!
damn right
goldenthroat86 oh yes it's so sad that now almost all women have died out that some people have never even seen a woman in the wild
She’s a Man... Just Look At That Adams Apple
Lmao at the "yeah". Miss her dearly!
Absolute star quality
A++++++++++a unique beauty.
i love how the men stand for her when she comes over and greets the panel! signs of a time LONG gone
Every time she says "Oui" ... Oh my.
Thank you joanfontaine fan for posting these up - they are fantastic!

Simply glamorous.
Best part starts at 00:37
Anyone else on a 'What's my Line?' marathon while in lockdown?
0:32 is the most adorable thing i've ever seen!
I love Lauren Bacall! A fantastic talent and an incredibly beautiful woman!
This is a real star! i hope the future famous people can become more classy like how it was long before i was born!
R.I.P Betty
Love her.
I think she was more than late twenties. This is 1953-4 and she was about 20 or so when she worked with Bogart in mid '40's.
She and Bogie were such a great couple. She lost him far too soon.
smokin'!!!!! they don't make them like this!!! sorry modern Hollywood.
Her later appearance on the show talking about her successful run in Cactus Flower was in the 1960s. She was older then and also Bogart had died by then. I don't think she was necessarily influenced by Monroe here, but just being her animated self.

STUNNING. JOHN DALY CAN'T KEEP HIS EYES OR HANDS OFF OF HER. HE NEVER ACTRD LIKE THIS WITH ANY OTHER WOMAN
She has what those others could never have--mystique.
Betty Bacall. What a babe!
Bacall was expressive and talented all over -- for sure.
RIP LEGEND - HAWT!
I've said it before, you guy's have such great taste--always.
1:51 her smile is just so special in that moment.
So beautiful, I underrated her, then saw Gentlemen Prefer Blondes, and I couldn't take my eyes off her.
She wasn't in Gentlemen Prefer Blondes . Your eyes were never in her or off her that picture. Gentlemen Prefer Blondes was with Marilyn Monroe and Jane Russell.
