      @@Omnicient. internet troll, I happen to have had the privilege of knowing Betty Bacall personally for 4 years. We talked and met up with others for lunch several times. I always treated Betty with the respect she deserves. If she says her marriage to her husband was on the up and up then it was,nothing less would’ve been satisfactory. For you to make that comment not knowing me says more about you than it ever does about me. I support Betty’s interpretation of Her relationship with her husband. She missed him every day of her life. She didn’t go for dime store psych- babble by women so full of themselves that they reach for the sky to see themselves as victims of the current fad. I’m a Dr so I know what I’m talking about. Can’t you just let some people be happy with their relationship. Bogart was decades older but the two of them were soul mates. Go pick on someone else.

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.

      Here she goes again knocking her second film, "Confidential Agent." She constantly refers to "Confidential Agent" in interviews as horrible yet, no interviewer ever asks her why she thinks she was so bad in the film. What did she do that was so bad in "Confidential Agent?" I have seen "Confidential Agent" and I actually liked it much better than TO HAVE OR HAVE NOT. "Confidential Agent" had an interesting plot, unsavory mysterious, fascinating, and duplicitous characters as well as dark political undertones. As far as Miss Bacall, her acting seemed ok to me as she responded appropriately in her scenes. So what was so especially bad about her and the film? Bacall doesn't answer the question in her book nor is she ever asked the question in many of her interviews. She just says "She was bad in "Confidential Agent." Frankly, I am bored to death of hearing her talk about "To Have or Have Not." It was an ok film and yes she flirted with Bogart like any female fatale would. But I have never been fascinated with their on or off screen relationship as many people seem to be. Her fourth movie with Bogart, "Dark Passage" was far more interesting and as far as I am concerned her best with Bogart even though Agnes Moorhead stole the picture.

    I was aware of Ms. Bacall growing up as I had heard my parents speak of her, and I had seen a couple of her films, but after seeing her live on stage in "Woman of the Year" in the early 1980s, I was a fan! Her talent, energy and work ethic were all quite impressive. She certainly stayed busy, not just making movies and appearing on stage, but doing TV commercials that most legendary performers would have probably turned down, such as High Point instant coffee, or the now defunct brick-and-mortar discount retailer, Tuesday Morning. Rest in peace, Ms. Bacall.

    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.

    • @jennysmith9134
      @jennysmith9134 8 років тому +7

      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.

    • @DDumbrille
      @DDumbrille 8 років тому

      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.

      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.

    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.

      Perhaps she was on fire in her first film, but so what? Even she will be the first to tell you that by the end of her second film ("Confidential Agent" critics wrote that the fire in the first film only disguised the fact that she knew nothing about acting. In many ways her first film except for the wonderful character actors, is rather a bore. Her fourth film with Bogart, "Dark Passage" was far more interesting as she had toned down the so called "fire" and just played a real character.

I haven't read any biographies.

    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!

    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

    She has a hard edge. Not likeable, really.
