Lauren Bacall
Film: actress, United States
Lauren Bacall was an American actress renowned for her husky voice, feline poise, and sultry screen presence, dubbed 'The Look'. Discovered as a teenage model by director Howard Hawks, she made an explosive screen debut opposite Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not in 1944. The pair married and starred together in seminal film noir classics including The Big Sleep and Key Largo. Bacall displayed equal skill in sophisticated comedies and later made a celebrated shift to Broadway, winning two Tony Awards for musical roles. Later character parts earned her an Oscar nomination and an Academy Honorary Award in 2009. She passed away in Manhattan in 2014.
