LAUREN BACALL - TYPED QUOTATION SIGNED - HFSID 224402

LAUREN BACALL
The actress signs her name on quotations regarding several topics, most interestingly the actress' signature "Look"
Typed Quotations signed: "Lauren/Bacall", 1p, 8½x11. Headed: "Lauren Bacall". Four quotes. The first quote: "I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of The Look." Second quote: "I was not a woman of the world. I lived with Mother all my life." Third quote: "What I learned from Mr. Bogart I learned from a master, and that, God knows, has stood me in very good stead." The fourth quote, crossed out by Bacall, headed "On Hollywood": "The only place in the world where an amicable divorce means that each gets fifty per cent of the publicity." 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. Lightly creased. Fine condition.
