She was truly lucky her lungs survived all that nicotine. Bogey was a chain smoker and I believe he died from esophageal cancer at 57, relatively young by today's standards. I loved reading her first autobio, esp her delicate friendship with Katherine Hepburn, who was not the easiest person to get along with. The book goes into the ups and downs of their long friendship. A fascinating read !

Lauren Bacall accomplished quite a lot. She managed to carve out a stellar stage career when her film career faded. Her autobiography was very well written and very entertaining. It still holds up and is not a dated read. Bacall seems to have had a great capacity for friendship and I give her credit. Her friendships lasted decades. She maintained her friendships. Her children did not turn out to be drug addicts or brats. Unfortunately, her love life (after Bogart) was a string of difficulties and disappointments. However, she was strong. She did not implode. She did not get lost in self-destructive behaviors. She was a survivor. She remained positive and kept going. She kept working. She loved to work.

I don’t think it was rude. It was a legitimate question because the academy very often gives an Oscar to an actor who has done great work over the years, yet somehow gets overlooked. Paul Newman. Alan Arkin. And Glenn Close hadn’t won yet, despite being more worthy than some of her competitors. She’ll get one eventually, and interviewers will ask the same question Barbara did.

I think Stephen wrote "you were never what I thought a mother should be" or something to that effect. I think I read it in Bacall's first book. Expectations are a kind of prison. Expectations can blind you to the good thing in front of you.

Watch her movie with Gregory Peck "Designing Woman". She wsa a wonderful actress.

There will never be another Lauren Bacall or Humphrey Bogart!!

She always came across as tough but with a great sense of humour. I think you can tell that you'd have a good time with her, probably why her friendships with people lasted such a long time.

I have never liked the way Walters was so rude in her interviews but with Bacall you can see the friendship. That says the most about Bacall's social skills.

Ms. Becall, straight forward. You rock.

After Barbara asks her about winning the Oscar, Bacall replies: "There are no guarantees in my profession. Very often something comes out of left field....." Was she right ! On Oscar night, Bacall was upset by Juliette Binoche's "out from left field" win for Best Supporting Actress in "The English Patient". Binoche's screen time was actually more like an actress, not supporting. I recently went back and rented "Mirror Has Two Faces" again and Bacall's performance was so subtle yet left an indelible impression. She really deserved that Oscar no matter if you liked her as a person. There are many in LA and NY who dislike Bacall after working with her. Some say her unpopularity may have cost her the Oscar.

If you're a Streisand fan, you know since childhood she's always had a complex about her own looks, she always saw herself as an ugly duckling. That's why the "Mirror" script attracted her interest so much. Streisand has held out against plastic surgery, esp on her nose against the advice of many in Hollywood. How ironic in her 70's she broke that rule and got a face lift. If you Google pics of Streisand now you would not recognize her, and that's saying it nicely.

Streisand has actually had work done. She was photographed leaving a hospital after cosmetic surgery, wearing a veiled hat, sometime, if I recall correctly, in the 90s. It was unmistakably her. She's never admitted it, but it seems she had a her neck and possibly eyes done, not a full facelift. The thing is: she was smart. She had just enough done so that it didn't look too obvious, and she hasn't risked repeated procedures in an attempt to look as though she's still 30something. Which is why she looks great still at 80.
