First Day Cover signed: "Lauren Bacall", 6½x3½. First Day
Cover honoring the 50th Anniversary of Talking Pictures, 13-cent same stamp
affixed, postmarked Hollywood, CA, October 6, 1977, FIRST
DAY OF ISSUE. ArtCraft cachet at left picturing Al Jolson in The Jazz
Singer, the first talking picture. When model Lauren Bacall (1924-2014)
graced the cover of "Harper's Bazaar" in 1943, Mrs. Howard Hawks was
impressed with what would come to be known as "The Look" and she told her
producer-director husband about the sultry beauty. From the time Bacall made
her Hollywood debut in Hawks' To Have and Have Not (1944) with Humphrey
Bogart, both film critics and moviegoers fell in love with the beauty with
the throaty voice. Lauded as the most sensational newcomer of the year, Bacall
found both fame and love, falling in love and marrying Bogie, with whom she
would star in three more films. After his death in 1957, Bacall made
Designing Women (1957) and The Gift of Love (1958), but virtually
dropped out of sight until 1970, when she made a triumphant comeback in the
stage production of Applause. Bacall's later films include Murder on
the Orient Express (1974), The Shootist (1976) and The Fan
(1981). The actress was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award
for The Mirror Has Two Faces (1996), winning a Golden Globe in the same
category. The previous year, she had received an Honorary Award from the French
Academy of Cinema. To this day she continues to charm audiences with her
trademark dancer's eloquence of movement, suggestive twinkle in her eye and
fierce female shrewdness. Fine condition.
