One of the greatest Virgals who ever lived. Pegged as "The Look".



Funny enough, she got her signature look by accident:

"Lauren Bacall first appeared on the silver screen when she was only 19, in 1944's To Have and Have Not, which starred Humphrey Bogart. On set for that film, Bacall developed her trademark gesture, "The Look." Oddly enough, it began as a defense against nerves: Bacall had to keep her chin pressed against her chest to keep from shaking until just before the cameras rolled, causing her to begin every shot bringing her gaze upward.

Some awesome quotes:

"Imagination is the highest kite one can fly."

"You can't start worrying about what's going to happen. You get spastic enough worrying about what's happening now."

"Looking at yourself in a mirror isn't exactly a study of life."

"I figure if I have my health, can pay the rent and I have my friends, I call it 'content.'"

"Patience was not my strong point."

^^LOL @ her Aries Moon

"Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you're alive, it isn't."

On the man she loved:

"He [Bogie] had tremendous character and a great sense of honor and would not tolerate lies, even if they asked him what he thought of a movie. We were once at a screening at somebody's house, I forget whose, and they ran a movie that he was in, that he never thought much of. Afterward, the producer asked what he thought of it, and Bogie said "I think it's a crock." And this producer was horrified! He was about to release the movie, and he said to Bogie "Why would you say that?!" Bogie shrugged and said "Then don't ask me." He never played the schmoozing game. He was not into that at all."
