                                                                 Lauren Bacall  

                            Hollywood's stunning actress, Lauren Bacall, died on Monday, 12th August 2014 after a career spanning seven decades. The actress proved why she had quickly shot to stardom in the first place.

                         The actress was at her best working opposite to Humphrey Bogart. Humphrey Bogart and the audiences fell in love with Lauren Bacall, whose 1944 debut 'To Have And Have Not' showcased her alluring cool and smoldering charm.Though just 19, she more than held her own acting opposite Bogart, who at 44 was already a star and hot off of Casablanca.
                              On May 21, 1945, Bacall married actor Humphrey Bogart. They remained married until Bogart's death from esophageal cancer in 1957.Shortly after Bogart's death in 1957, Bacall had a relationship with singer and actor Frank Sinatra. She told Robert Osborne, of Turner Classic Movies (TCM), in an interview, that she had ended the romance. However, in her autobiography, she wrote that Sinatra abruptly ended the relationship, having become angry that the story of his proposal to Bacall had reached the press. Bacall and her friend Swifty Lazar had run into the gossip columnist Louella Parsons, to whom Lazar had spilled the beans. Sinatra then cut Bacall off and went to Las Vegas.
                               Bacall was married to actor Jason Robards, Jr. from 1961 to 1969. According to Bacall's autobiography, she divorced Robards mainly because of his alcoholism.^[40] In her autobiography Now, she recalls having a relationship with Len Cariou, her co-star in Applause.
                                       Bacall is the only Academy Award winner to have been married to two other winners (Bogart, Robards). She wrote two autobiographies, Lauren Bacall By Myself (1978) and Now (1994). In 2005, the first volume was updated with an extra chapter: "By Myself and Then Some".
                               Bacall had a son and daughter with Bogart and a son with Robards. Her children with Bogart are her son Stephen Humphrey Bogart (born January 6, 1949), a news producer, documentary film maker and author; and her daughter Leslie Bogart (born August 23, 1952), a yoga instructor. Sam Robards (born December 16, 1961), her son with Robards, is an actor.
                               Bacall died on August 12, 2014 at the age of 89 in New York City after suffering a stroke at her Manhattan home.
                              This was the life story of Lauren Bacall.
