is this a come-on?

Is this teenager offering to blow the old man?

Unique, legendary actor with class.

I can see Bogey and her sharing a cold beverage right about now.

Thanks for memories. You had a good run. RIP Betty.

One of the top actresses in history. She will be missed. And 70 years on screen must be a record or damn near it....

Kind, gentle interior clothed in a tough shell.

A realist of the highest caliber.

Casablanca was good but her best role was in Dark Passage IMO.

Noir at it's top form even Veronica Lake could not approach.

And now, we are back to celebrities I've never heard of dying. Life goes on after Robin I suppose.

I'm sorry to hear that. She was a luminary.

The computer centre at my alma mater used to have a set of unix machines each given the name of a famous movie actress, and Bacall was one of them.

Thanks for the memories....

I guess this thread is headed to the Celebrity heap. It is only a matter of time.

I doubt Celebrity: that's only for males: abs, butts, pecs and dick -- and the occasional suicide. Women go to Entertainment.

I am intrigued enough to want to learn more of her connection to Casablanca.

Even in the clip, as young as she was she was a real women. Today you have the tiresome "celebs" who propagate their careers by being 24/ 7 media/ social media whores. Lauren Bacall was classy, brassy, elegant... true Hollywood royalty. RIP Lauren, and bet Bogey greeted you on the other side with a hearty "Here's lookin' at you, kid!"

I never heard that she was a cousin of Shimon Peres, till now. Longevity and stardom runs in that family.

It was Ingrid Bergman in Casablanca, not Bacall. She came to Hollywood AFTER Casablanca was released. She said in her autobiography that when she saw Casablanca (in the movies, she was just a teen) she wasn't impressed by Bogie @ all.

Dark Passage is my favorite too
