Lauren Bacall Wasn’t Here For Natalie Portman’s Indecisiveness

August 21, 2016 / Posted by:

Not everyone falls for Natalie Portman’sbeautiful and cultured vegan of the wispy intelligentsia” act. At a panel discussion for her latest film, Nat revealed that golden age film goddess and huge Tom Cruise fan Lauren Bacall would have utilized #unimpressed to describe her if she ever tweeted. But Lauren Bacall didn’t tweet! Lauren Bacall was one of those legendary NYC broads who didn’t suffer fools, and especially wouldn’t suffer your social media bullshizz. You would just give her a martini and a ciggie and let her cut you up with her smoky sex voice.

Lauren Bacall Has Died

August 12, 2014 / Posted by:

Well, tonight the angels up in heaven are going to get a live performance of Key Largo starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. Because TMZ says that Lauren Bacall (born name: Betty Joan Perske) has followed Robin Williams up to heaven. The world is a duller place every time a piece of the Golden Age of Hollywood dies.

A family member tells TMZ that Lauren had a major stroke at her home this morning. She was 89.

Wikipedia says that Lauren started out as a model and she didn’t even try to get into Hollywood. Hollywood came to her. When the wife of director Howard Hawks saw her in Vogue, she showed the picture to her husband. Howard brought Lauren to Hollywood and immediately signed her to a 7-picture deal. Lauren’s first movie ever was To Have And Have Not which started her legendary relationship with Humphrey Bogart. Bogey and Bacall got together during filming even though his ass was married. Lauren went on to make Key Largo, The Big Sleep and Dark Passage with him. In the 50s, she starred in one of my favorite movies ever, the gold digging tutorial and inspirational masterpiece How To Marry A Millionaire.

Throughout her 70 year career, Lauren was in Harper, Murder on the Orient Express, Misery, Pret-A-Porter, The Mirror Has Two Faces, Dogville and a bunch of other movies I’m sure I’m missing but you’ll remind me by screaming, “Don’t forget Diamonds, bitch!” On Broadway, Lauren starred in Applause and Woman of the Year. She won Tonys for both.

She was married to Humphrey Bogart until his death in 1957. They had two kids together. She married Jason Robards in 1961 and divorced him 8 years later. They had one kid together.

Rest in peace, Lauren Bacall. Nobody knew how to emote glamour while throwing a side-eye and giving angles like you did.

Speaking of glamour, here’s Lauren in 1987 delivering massive amounts of glamour while hosting a Best Costume Design fashion show extravaganza at the Oscars. This is back when the Oscars was actually glamorous and entertaining.
