(born 1924) “If you want anything, all you have to do is whistle”—this line from Bacall’s 1944 Hollywood debut in To Have and Have Not—as a teenager—introduced a smart, beautiful and independent female who would also marry her co-star, Humphrey Bogart.

Bacall’s subsequent career with and without Bogart solidified this persona, despite problems with studios. Bacall earned a 1970 Tony on Broadway for Applause. “The Look,” the astonishing voice, the image and the talent have made her a legend as she continues to select roles in her seventies.
