    I actually wrote to her when I was a kid, never expected a reply but she sent me back a personalised signature on a picture of her and Bogie, such a wonderful woman :)

      Class & stylsh with a serious take on life while living a drama-free life for the most part. VERY RARE! . She was an eccentric collector of many treasures from around the world as well as oddities of art. A magical space she created in her long-time NY apartment. I admire anyone who is a collector as I am also a person who collects things, some quite valuable but some others have cast aside only to be repurposed and admired.
      You are so fortunate to have this piece of history. Cherish it and pass it down only to one who will also cherish it as today the young have no clue about collecting and how they are a tangible connection to the past, almost as if you inter-connected to the past that we lived through as well as admired.

      What are you talking about? You have no clue about their story, do you? She wasn't forced into marrying him and Bacall often called Bogie as the love of her life.
      It was clear that their chemistry on screen was something that was true offscreen. Bogie even tried to stay away because he was married at that time to an alcoholic actress. Bogie wanted to try to work on his marriage despite it already in ruins because of alcohol (his ex wife even stabbed him once in a fit of rage!) Bacall said: "I said I'd have to respect his decision, but I didn't have to like it." She wanted him and both were in love. Bogie at one point refused to marry her because that would put an end to her career as an actress (Hollywood being very narrow-minded about married women). But Bacall said she was "pushy" because she wanted marriage and kids. "If I'd had just my career, I would have missed out on Bogie, on children, on the very substance of life," When Bogie died, Bacall said this: "No one has ever written a romance better than we lived."

    First of all, so-called ''Lauren Bacall" was not her real name. I think it's a disgrace and shows complete disrespect of one's heritage to change their birth name, unless when a woman gets married. If a woman gets married and DOESN'T change her last name, that shows no respect to her husband. There was absolutely nothing wrong with the name "Betty Joan Perske"?! The change was probably made as a result of pressure from a greedy Business Manager and or Studio, with respect to perceived anticipation of greater recognition and subsequent monetary gain?!

    • @JB-3794
      @JB-3794 8 місяців тому

      Yes. Many women and men changed their names in the entertainment industry to enhance their image. It was very common. I wouldn't be surprised if some liked their new name better. As for marriage? A married couple should respect each other for true reasons and not because of superficial things such as whose name you take.

    Gorgeous well built woman. She smoked her many cigaretts most seductively, only ranking with Barbera Bain's and Cheryl Ladd's smoking style.
