Bacall Married 12 Years Until Bogart's Death

Bacall Married 12 Years Until Bogart's Death, Lauren Bacall, born Betty Perske in New York in 1924. Originally a model, she made the transition to acting after appearing on the cover of Harper's Bazarre at the age of 19.

Humphrey Bogart was born into an upper class New York family in 1899. After he was expelled from school he joined the navy. After acting on Broadway, he got his film break in the 1930 movie Broadway's Like That.

What they've been in: To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, Dark Passage, Key Largo, Two Guys From Milwaukee

Memorable lines: Bacall to Bogart when they appeared as Marie and Morgan in To Have and Have Not: 'You don't have to say anything and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh maybe, just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.'

As Vivian and Marlowe in The Big Sleep:
Bacall: 'So you do get up, I was beginning to think you worked in bed like Marcel Proust.'
Bogart: 'Who's he?'

Bacall: 'You wouldn't know him, a French writer.'
Bogart: 'Come into my boudoir.'

Why they sparked: Bogart and Bacall fell in love making To Have and Have Not and it shows in that and every other film they made. The couple were married for 12 years until Bogart's death from cancer in 1957. Their scenes in To Have and Have Not in particular still rivet romantics everywhere.

What she said about him: 'I learned a lot from him. He was a very intelligent man, who had incredible integrity. I have a similar approach, but I don't think I'm as good a human being as he was.'

What he said to her: 'She's a real Joe. You'll fall in love with her like everyone else.'
