Goodbye Betty

 Lauren in "To Have And Have Not", 1944

Lauren Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske, september 16, 1924), member of the original Rat Pack, appeared in 30 films, her movie career lasted over six decades and she also found success on Broadway.

Lauren Bacall received an Honorary Academy Award in 2009.
