“She stole the screen at 19—and never gave it back” 🎬🌟 With her smoky voice and magnetic gaze, Lauren Bacall became a symbol of Golden Age Hollywood. But few know how one photo changed everything. See rare moments from her rise to legend in the article below 👇
She was among the screen legends of Hollywood’s Golden Age. Bacall began her career as a fashion model reaching to its peak in the 1940s. It was her striking beauty, sultry gaze and tall frame that made her unique and one-of-her-kind. Her magnetism and nice looks caught the attention of many photographers.
Soon, this led her to become the face of Harper’s Bazaar which changed her life path to the roots. Film director H. Hawks accidentally found her photo and was so impressed by her charm that he was left with no other choice but to cast her in the 1944 film To Have and Have Not opposite H. Bogart. Lauren was only 19 when she captivated millions of viewers with her raw beauty and smoky voice. Her famous look – a downturned chin with up gazing up became her hallmark.
Starring in the film marked the beginning of her drizzling career as well as her romance with Bogart. These two eventually married in 1945 having a lifetime relationship. Lauren’s appearance in «The Big Sleep», «Dark Passage» and «Key Largo» deserve our attention too. Her on-screen appearance was not only characterized with her intellect and charisma, but also incomparable femininity. One may say that she could stand even next to Monroe.
Her two memoirs «By Myself» and «Now» reflect her path in Hollywood and personal experiences. Bacall’s appearance in «The Big Sleep», «Dark Passage» and «Key Largo» was nothing short of remarkable too. Among the accolades she received is an Academy Honorary Award in 2009.
