First transmitted in 1995, Jeremy Isaacs delves into the life of Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall, who became a movie star instantly following her first screen appearances in To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep. Born as Betty Perske, she went on to marry Humphrey Bogart and enjoyed a 50-year career under her new name, Lauren Bacall. They discuss her film career, autobiographies and her impending return to the British stage.

I love it “ I can assure you that mr bogart was no father to me “ lol perfect ! No dime store psychology for her !
Len Welch they did things fathers and daughters do not do 😂🤣👍❤️
She talks with her eyes! So proud to be named after this beautiful lady
She was always so elegant, poised, and beautiful, i love her so much.
I agree completely. 💐
She was so calm and talented. She was also ridiculously smart.
She has such respect for audiences , her husbands, her sons, her co workers. Class act.
I met her,she was warm and in control. I will never forget her for friendliness and for liking me
+stonesinmyblood27 I met her on several occasions, and while she was in complete control, I found her neither warm nor friendly.
+Rafael Storm I have heard that. A friend did a film with her son in a distant location. When my friend returned to NYC he ran into Ms Bacall at a bodega of all places. He told her that he had just been working with her son and that everything was well with him (as he was still on location). She looked at him and said 'So?' All my friend could say was 'Oh well, goodbye' and walked away thinking what an odd reaction from a mother to news about her son.
@@edwardjames50 I concur on a similar basis, although it hasn't even taken away from my enjoyment of her in those early movies with Bogie!
Being a Native New Yorker I can relate to her idea of friendship because in New York it is imperative to have good friends.
You get her take on life...she's a badass but dripping with class, and no one today has her distinctive flavor.
Wonderful interview, great questions and even better answers. A woman with class, kindness and lots of smarts.
What a find she was. So much more than that early sultry image would indicate. Bogey would have been so proud of her endurance and success.
Me parece una persona sensata y amorosa.
such class! so well spoken !
Very intelligent woman. How many actresses (or actors) could give an interview like this these days ?
None. And there are no women like this now. The modern actresses are physically sensational and nothing more.
Allyson Lawrence Cate blanchett. That is why Lauren Bacall loved Cate blanchett so much.
She has been around a while already, born in '69 so not comparable with the younger set.
Lindsey Lohan and Kim Kardashian 😍
Different times different actresses. The past is the past
She looks STUNNING!
Thanks to a really good facelift about a year earlier. Check out any of her pre-1988-1990 interviews...she looks decades older.
@@dannybex Especially her eye lids which had been very droopy.
You two don't know what you are talking about.... she never had a facelift.... just botox injections.
Fine BLUE eyes ON LAUREN Bacall
@@dannybex yes search 1979 she looks about 20 years older than this its a fantastic joke .
Respect and love to this wonderful woman 🌹
An INTELLIGENT AND GREAT lady
Ladies and gentlemen ! the last of the great actors with REAL talent. What a wonderful interview and a beautiful woman, honest , truthful and with great character. she will be immortalized along with her movies and never forgotten.
She is brilliant and astute, and the interviewer is incisive and clever. A wonderful rapport.
One of the great icons on the 20th Century. For me it's her love of words, hunger for knowledge, character, how she lived her life, her fierce loyalty to her values, her work ethic and complete lack of phony sentimentality and cant. jxxx
she was such a lovely woman, amazing to think of all the work she had done from a very young age
What a wonderful, simple concept this series was : the interviewer is self -effacing, allowing the camera to concentrate on each wonderful guest. It's also happily free of tittle-tattle questions.
The interviewer did a great job. Not asking the same boring questions. Refreshing.
Lauren baccall was one of the most beautiful and best actresses in Hollywood
what a beautiful woman and so famous she is my favorite person
+Lexis Lucas she really is interested and bright and fun and clever....besides being sophisticated and LOVELY....
Happy Birthday to Betty Joan Perske aka Lauren Bacall.9-16-24.NY.
A good, conscientious Virgo lady.
I miss her so much:(
😢
very few intelligent and intellectual people like she was, with so much class.
always very sharp and eloquent, articulate.
Thank you for the great upload! She's so intelligent!
She comes across here as far more likeable than I've ever seen here elsewhere. She had an admirable, raging intelligence.
Fabulous woman. Pure Class and Strength.
One of the best actresses of all time, hands down. She reminds me a lot of my grandmother in her older age.
Loved the Late show on BBC 2 always watched It and I always usully wished it was on longer - There were some specials which were longer ! - I must admit l missed this episode with Lauren Bacall !
Thanks for sharing It !
I love how strong she was
She's mistaken, she is and was a beauty!
she was more importantly a Lady.
I'd like to know who her cosmetic surgeon was. Look at her in home movies made in the '60's, she has had some clever help. She is so smart with it, a great lady.
@@MsMesem I admire her a great deal, and yes she had work done several times, starting in the 70's. See her in "Murder On the Orient Express"(1974) and she looked pretty bad.
Great interview, thank you!
So inspirational !!!
So gorgeous and fierce.Love her so much.Rest in peace Lauren :(
she always been the calm voice lady that ever lived
I get so much inspiration from her, Lauren (Betty) is my favorite of all time.
Elegant and precious.
beautiful! thank you.
THANK YOU!
My cat saw her in the Fancy Feast commercial where she serves it to her cat in a crystal stem glass. So I bought Fancy Feast for my cat. She said "what's with the plate? It's supposed to come in a crystal glass. And by the way, you're no Lauren Bacall. "
I believe she and him were just what the other needed to be to feel content and confident in theirself. Good match and lucky, as she says nothing last forever so instead of 1st instinct to look back what about NOW she says I agree what about NOW. thank you Lauren.
Yes I’m a Virgo i love to work and be very independent she’s a Virgo to birthdays 2 days apart she is such a very beautiful woman her and Monroe
I love and look up to this woman so much
Very inspiring woman, Lauren Bacall!
Amazing woman for sure, even in her old age sharp as a tak an still so beautiful
Elegant and beautiful!
Few women were more hot than her. In her debut movie, she was on fire. I have never seen a debut like that before or after.
brilliant woman..R.I.P 🌹🌹
incredible woman !
In the ten years or so before her death, Bacall claimed that she had never had plastic surgery. But this interview is proof that indeed she had had at the very least, a very good eye lift.
Her eyelids are clearly visible here, compared to television appearances, movies and still photos from around 1985 or earlier. Go back and watch clips of her (from even the 1960's) and her eyelids simply couldn't be seen. But here she is, looking better than ever…
Nothing wrong with surgery of course. It's just a little disingenuous to claim one has never had it done when it's obvious that she had.
This is more of a "technicality" but here is one possible explanation:
A friend of my family's had this surgery because her eyelids interfered with her field of vision. It was deemed medically necessary and insurance paid for it. She didn't consider it cosmetic/plastic.
Or maybe she was disingenuous about it.
Rah Capek Good point, there's a possibility they could've interfered w/her vision at some point, but that usually isn't the reason they're done in show business, so I tend to agree w/your latter explanation. Especially since she could've come forward with the former if it were indeed true.
***** Then why would you reply? I just found this clip so I replied. Delete your comment if you don't want late responses. (Or never comment)
Eyes can hollow out naturally on their own. If you look at centenarians, this is very apparent, even in Asians. If she did have an eye lift procedure, it wouldn't be reaching to say she had it for medical reasons, not cosmetic reasons. I know an older woman whose eyes sagged so much that they blocked her vision, so she had to have them removed so she can see. This is not uncommon. Lauren Bacall always had heavy eyelids, so maybe it became a problem in that sense as she aged.
If she were to do anything cosmetically, it should have been a lip lift! Her philtrum length increased dramatically.
She might be using the same kind of eyelid tape that has become very popular in Asia.
I think she was extremely talented, no phony, straight to the point, great sense of humour, self awareness, stylish and very beautiful. As she grew older, she became an extremely sexy striking woman. My favourite ❤❤
What a powerhouse strong woman
Her real name was Betty Jane Perske. Nobody that knew her called her "Lauren".
Pius Twelvetrees Well, most people who knew her intimately called her Betty.
Well that's her stage name so she was called Lauren publicly.
'Bacall' was the anglicised spelling of her Jewish Romanian mother's last name. She did not pick a stage name completely unrelated to her, as she was close to her mother.
No idea how old Lauren was here but she was what I would call a handsome-looking woman. She had a great sense of humour
To me she was more manly than feminine but sexy
She was born in 1924 so she would have been 70/71 depending when it was actually filmed.
Very frank and insightful interview. Everybody should take a leaf out of Lauren Bacall's book of life and philosophy. Interestingly, both, she and her first husband, Humphrey Bogart, grew up in New York and both of their mothers were strong minded business women. She mentions the value of " honour amongst friends and their character", again, emphasising her own thoughtful attitude about life. She certainly was an unusual and unique woman who had the privilege of knowing many movers and shakers in Hollywood.
Lauren reminds me of my late nan. Nan on my mother's side, not my dad's side. Very nice lady and genuine it seems. Haven't seen her in much and I need shooting probably for that. I know she's a legend though. Her accent is a mix between British and American, it seems at times.
Tony Anastasio - I agree with you about Lauren’s accent.
Grace Kelly had a ‘transatlantic English accent’, a mixture between both American and British one. I recently bought a book : “Teach yourself Transatlantic: Theatre speech for actors”, by Robert L. Hobbs. (Printed 1986) and it’s fascinating.
She talks so passionately
My God they don't make 'em like this anymore.
33:49 Wise words.
WHAT A CLASS LADY SO IN CONTOL AND IN HER OWN WAY WARM IF YOI LISTEN TO HER CLOSEY. VERY WARM. JOANN LAMONICA. ONEONTA NY
Awesome
Reserved with one's words smart and sweet
Incredible as always but that interviewer made it quite hard to go through. Dumb questions and didn't even bother doing his homework on her books.
Her intelligence makes her look cold ! But she’s very beautiful and interesting to me.
she is great. but the interviewer...?
fyi- Lauren Bacall...born Bette Jean Perske went to Julia Richman HS in Manhattan....but LIVED in the Bronx from @age 5 until she was @15-16 years old. She used to take the old 3rd Avenue Elevated train. with my Aunt Mary....and after she moved to Greenwich Village with he mother (after her divorce), my aunt often walked with her across the southern end of Central Park to Colombus Circle, where my aunt went north on the D trim and Bette took a train....probably the #1 local downtown. (Christopher Street?)
...I'm surprised she brought this up.....and later in the interview, says "I never lie." All biographies of her speak about living in the Bronx....including all of her elementary school years. I'll need to listen to more interviews....and I'll also look for specific information on the PS #///1-8th grades. weird.
@@glennfromthebronx She must have been ashamed of having lived in The Bronx.
@@Themanwhocameback2 possibly....or perhaps it came from her mother...or perhaps from their common desire to separete tjings out from her father. I know when she talked to my Aunt Mary....neither talked about their deadbeat fathers. (my grandfather was a BAD drinker.) I don't think Betty/Lauren had any further contact with her father once they left the Bronx.
....back then....through the 1940s....nearly all of the Bronx was THE BEAUTIFUL BRONX...as discussed and photographed in the 1980s bestselling "coffee table book....by longtime Bronx hisotian lloyd Ultan...with many starts of stage, screen, art, clssical and popularmusic and vaudeville being born/raised here. I haven't read any biographies.
Classy woman. ❤
My sister saw her in the adjacent bathroom stall at the Paris airport.
VIVA LA BETTY!!!
Assure you mr. Boggart was no father to her
The man who asks questions breathes really heavy omg so annoying...
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
I never enjoy when people say they "don't look back" or they don't "live in the past, there's so much to do, etc. etc." We all live in the past, either by constant self-reflection or, worse, by pretending we don't. If she means she doesn't nostalgify, well that I can understand, I guess, since she became as success so early in life she may never have had a chance to get her bearings till she was quite a bit older, and by then she may have had to push that experience aside because, otherwise, it might have engulfed her life...which it did anyway!
Jew
Don’t get me wrong. Lauren Bacall is my favorite star. When By Myself came out she said no plastic surgery for me. It’s obvious here she had surgery on her eye lids
Oh well , she looks beautiful
Never liked her!
Tineke Williams And you had to let people know...
Your loss time to open your eyes
She has a hard edge. Not likeable, really.
such class! so well spoken !
