Whats my line? - Lauren Becall

1953 - 54

[@bregieirofernandes]

I love how she had to hide her famous husky voice

[@dmcoffman]

Her hair is incredible!

[@ariochiv]

There's very little about her that's *not* incredible.

@@unowen-nh9ov then men clearly aren't very adept in linguistics, because if they were, they would know texting is a manner of speech, not a written language, and that therefore the rules of grammar are completely useless to anyone under the age of 40 when texting. It must be tough outing yourself as a boomer, or a really bitter gen X

[@unowen-nh9ov]

She began as NYC movie usherette worshipping Bette Davis & working with Kirk Douglas before he was Kirk Douglas, raised by single Mom & riding public transit. 1 Harper's cover, several classic films, husband Bogie & 2 beautiful babies later she returned to NYC & became the Toast of Broadway (rather than toast in L.A.), 2 Tonys for 2 starring roles in MUSICALS a DECADE apart with THAT voice. NO ONE had a life like Lauren Bacall Betty Perske, sorry I omitted another legendary husband & child. Also rather than Cary Grant & Davis, her life became Bogart & Hepburn. Read her books, she explains it SO much better, why she's also prize winning author.

[@jamesanthony5681]

@@susanb2015 It's expensive to make a movie and fewer are released today, than say, the '40's and '50's during Bacall's era. Her claim to fame was her marriage to Bogart, an actor who made everyone look that played opposite him. She never acted in a part that many others could have done just as well, if not better.

[@JDScott-lb6gx]

they don't make 'em like that anymore. what a beauty.

[@Max-do7me]

What a wonderful lady and a class act. She didn't get to talk much in this show, but I've watched a couple of interwievs with her in her late 60ies and in her 70ies and those have been very entertaining. Intelligence, humor, style, dignity personified.

[@rbilleaud]

Arlene Francis was right, Bacall was "devastating". She's still a class act today at 89.

I LOVE HER!!!! Amazing person, amazing heart. TRUE STAR!

[@surrepeight]

Betty Bacall was one lovely woman. Look at that hair when she turns her head. She was gorgeous from every angle. I remember reading in her autobiography that some guy in makeup on her first film wanted to trim her full eyebrows and the filmaker told him "don't you touch her eyebrows, I want her to look exactly the way she looks!" ...or something like that.

[@bentonxavier5094]

It's genuinely depressing that someone so beautiful such as Lauren Bacall lived in a different era to me. I don't think there's ever been a more attractive person that has ever lived.

[@amyleah7971]

0:17 The sound that person made in the audience had me crying with laughter 😂

[@lonewulf44]

If ever KZbin needed a whistle comment button this would be it ... Becall is simply stunning!

[@CarolinaFlorezCoaching]

So many people commenting that “they don’t make em like that anymore” “that is a real woman”, etc... the industry use to be able to control all these celebrity’s images, so no, they don’t ‘make em’ like that anymore because celebrities are under major surveillance with their private lives shared with the public, which makes it almost impossible to craft and maintain such a strong narrative and public image like in those days. Ultimately, they would create an image that would sell to the public and celebrities had to maintain that image and do things like take on certain roles (even if they didn’t want to - in Lauren’s case, she was kicked out of the studio several times for refusing roles) because they didn’t have the autonomy they have today. These celebrity personalities are not authentic, they just learned to maintain them in the public eye and the whole industry was involved in upholding it. The industry and these values haven’t changed because celebrities are creating increasingly impossible to reach beauty standards, so I’m not praising what it is today and I wouldn’t advise romanticizing what it used to be either. Romanticizing any of this upholds contrived ideals of beauty and what it means to be a woman.

[@Bluejeans0701]

I love the dress Lauren Bacall wears in this clip. I am thrilled to see how beautiful she was in her youth. And I am also glad to realize she, an octogenarian, still keeps appearing in motion pictures. She is a very good model for the future generations of actresses in Hollywood. Her class remains exactly the same as it did decades ago.

[@muskratbill]

I have always loved her....a true fox!

[@DerAdventurer]

OmGod! Somebody bring us a TIME MACHINE! I just love the charm of past people. Their 'finesse' and colloquial terms. Such adorable times. A true shame time passes and people go. Bacall is alive, however, as for April 2012!
