| Lauren Bacall |
Lauren Bacall, the husky-voiced actress whose marriage to Humphrey Bogart was the stuff of Hollywood legend, has died of a stroke in New York. She was 89. Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske in 1924 and was a little-known 19-year-old fashion model when she was cast opposite Bogart in “To Have and Have Not” in 1944. Her impact was immediate, and with one memorable line — “You know how to whistle, don’t you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow.” — she shot to stardom. The next year she and Bogart, 25 years her senior, were married.
