Lauren Bacall: a career in clips

Last edited Mon Aug 18, 2014, 04:49 PM - Edit history (1)

The actress Lauren Bacall has died aged 89. We look back over her career in clips, from The Big Sleep opposite husband Humphrey Bogart to The Mirror Has Two Faces

Born Betty Perske, the child of Jewish immigrants to the US, Bacall changed her surname to her mother’s maiden name before embarking on a career as stage actor and fashion model. Spotted on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar in 1943 by Howard Hawks’ wife Nancy, she was persuaded to test for his Hemingway adaptation, To Have and Have Not.
