RIP Lauren Bacall (1 Viewer)

[Craig S]

Wow. I just happened to hear the old 80s pop song "Key Largo" over the weekend, and was thinking how amazing it was that Bogart died in the same year I was born, and yet over half-a-century later Ms. Bacall was still with us. And now another connection to classic Hollywood is gone.

R.I.P.

Beautiful and talented. RIP.

She was a favourite of mine. I'm so saddened by this news. There will never, ever be another Bacall.

Just like there will never be another me.Everyone is an individual.

You know how to whistle, don't you, Ray? You just put your lips together and... blow.

Warner knew what seriously hot stuff their star could be, in the 40's:

TCM's 'Remembers' spot. I love how it ends with Lauren and Bogey walking off together.
