Lauren Bacall

The one and only. Again, I'm using that phrase sparingly. :-)


Lauren Bacall is both one of the most beautiful and most enduring actresses in the history of American cinema. Her movie credits include some of the greatest movies of all time: To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Key Largo (all co-starring her first husband, Humphrey Bogart), How To Marry a Millionaire, Written On the Wind, Murder On the Orient Express, and The Shootist (John Wayne's last movie).


She also starred in two successful Broadway musicals, Applause (1970) and Woman Of the Year (1981). She won a Golden Globe award and was nominated for an Oscar for her role in 1996's The Mirror Has Two Faces, outshining Barbra Streisand in her own star vehicle. Why not? At 72, Ms. Bacall was still beautiful.



And in her eighties, she still looks great. :-)

The greatest picture even taken of Lauren Bacall was of a seductive pose she struck while visiting Washington, D.C. in February 1945, draped over an upright piano . . . played by then-Vice President Harry Truman.

And you thought the picture of Rosemary McGrotha as President was a hoot! :-D
