You don't have to be over 50 to know that Lauren Bacall is a Hollywood legend. If you knew anything about film, you'd know that she starred (sometimes opposite husband Humphrey Bogart) in many films now considered classics.

Lauren Bacall's 1944 Hollywood debut in To Have and Have Not catapulted this young Jewish actress into instant stardom. Co-starring with her husband-to-be, Humphrey Bogart, Bacall soon became known for "The Look"-downturned head, eyes looking up, suggestive of a young woman sexually wise beyond her years. She and Bogart were one of Hollywood's most famous Couples, both on screen and off, and Bacall was famous for her characterizations of women whose strong will complemented, rather than detracted from, their sexual attraction. Throughout her career in Hollywood, Bacall has felt economic and social pressure to relinquish a Jewish identity, a demand complicated by her strong allegiance to her first-generation Jewish immigrant family.
