She looked so terrific and strong for such a long time that it was easy to imagine Lauren Bacall might just hang around forever. And who wouldnt want her to, for the pleasure of hearing her firing off smart, unvarnished remarks about old Hollywood in that husky voice? But the end came at last on Tuesday, when the 89-year-old actress died from a stroke at her home, according to a report on TMZ.

I didn’t know she was alive.

If you look at the pictures for her when you do a DuckDuckGo search (dump Google!), the facial expressions in each and every one is that of a b!tch who's ready and eager to stab you in the back at the first possible opportunity.
She may have had good facial structure, smooth skin, good long hair - but that look, that evil, evil look - once seen, one just can't clear it out of one's mind.
No, I just checked....Variety, TMZ, etc, are reporting it.
Yes, the ‘40s were her heyday. I was born in ‘63, so she was before my time, but I do have a certain liking for some old movies. She had a presence, that’s certain.
James Garner passed away 7/19/14.
Was there a 3 pattern?
I honestly can’t recall.
I disagree.
Williams was a star because he appeared in at least a dozen iconic movies spanning 30 years (although I would say his last "great" movie was One Hour Photo in 2002), and although he rose to fame because of his madcap comedic performances, he had an equally impressive number of dramatic hits (Awakenings, Dead Poets Soeciety, Good Will Hunting, etc.) that were nominated for Oscars.
Bacall was a star because she appeared opposite Humphrey Bogart in several of his classic films, and went on to marry him. She was very young at the time and he was twice her age. After Bogart died, her career waned in the 60s and she continued to appear in bit parts for the next 40 years, but was never a leading actress again.
I took a dislike to her many years ago and I think it was before I learned how liberal she was. I think the fact that the media always swooned over her was part of it.
And she was not just a liberal, she was a Barack Obama, Morris Dees, type liberal.
Maybe it's because she was doing Sinatra while her husband was dying of cancer. Then again, he had affairs on her while they were married so what the hell.
My mom reminded me so is Doris Day. Though she has to be about 90 I think.
Lots of guys left the theatre whistling.

When I was 12 I had strep an could do a pretty good impression of her.
Yep, hate her politics, loved her in the movies she did.
If you avoided all the flaming libtards in Hollywood, you’d never be able to see a movie.
Maybe that wouldn’t be a bad thing, but missing “The Big Sleep” would be a shame.
I know her from line in song “Key Largo” only saw her act in Murder on the Orient Express pictured as a cartoon in a Bugs Bunny toon.
I just made my girlfriend watch “To Have and Have Not” last night! She was gorgeous but so was Dolores Moran. RIP!
Olivia DeHavalland recently celebrated her 98th birthday.
Yup. Doris is 90. Maureen O’Hara is 94. Ladies, both of them.
Another great! There’s no one today that compares with some of these ladies.
