Was there ever a sexier woman than Lauren Bacall? I mean, that immortal scene in To Have And Have Not with Bogart — he never stood a chance, did he? — is all the more incredible when you realize that she played that sex-drenched role at age nineteen, and was yet totally believable.
(In real life, at age 17, she’d already been bonking a classmate at acting school, one Issur Danielovitch.)
You can read the back story of her sexy, sultry voice and “The Look” over here.
But right here:
And for those of you who just have to see things in color:
And when she wasn’t being all sexy ‘n sultry ‘n stuff, she was still gorgeous:
Good grief, Betty.
She always looked suspicious, pissed off, and don’t give a fuk.
So you were turned on, too?
Top 10, maybe. She was, as my Grandmother (of LB’s era), “equipped”. Solid actress, diehard lib, with looks that she was able to carry into her golden years.
Audrey Hepburn and Grace Kelly were better looking; Ingrid Bergman, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford were better actors. All that aside, LB was positively the most interesting.
In 1977 I saw her perform “Wonderful Town” live on stage in St. Louis.
Why, oh why, oh why-o, why did I ever leave Ohio…
Oh come on Kim. I for one prefer todays tatted up, pierced beatches who identify as furries. Wow they are so hot !!! Lol
So, let me get this straight … at 17 she was “dating” Kirk Douglas. At 20, she married Bogart (he was 45). At 25, she “starred with” Kirk Douglas in “Young Man with a Horn”, maybe Kirk’s best movie. After Bogart, she did Sinatra (who didn’t?) and then Jason Robards and others, well into her 60’s. This chick was as busy as Ava Gardner, my personal fave.
