HAPPY ANNIVERSARY HUMPHREY BOGART & LAUREN BACALL

One night in 1953, Bogie, John Huston and some other friends were shooting the breeze rather tipsily about life and its meaning and the question arose as to whether there was any time of their lives they’d like to live over again. All of them except Bogie came up with cynical answers. Somebody said, “God forbid”. Somebody else: that he’d only like to cancel out a couple of times. Then Bogie spoke. “Yes, there’s a time I’d like to relive- the years that I have had with Betty.”

-Joe Hyams, Bogart & Bacall.

I was a kid in love for the first time. I was easy for me - I knew nothing about pitfalls. I was giving nothing but myself and I could do that without qualm. Never in my life had or has a man cared so much for me, wanted so much to protect me, surrond me with life’s joys, share everything. It made me want to return the care- to show him it was possiblle to be really happy with a woman, to give him children. I was determined to do that.

-Lauren Bacall

It makes me sad that “Dark Passage” is so little known. It’s brilliant!!

His first words (when they would see each other or on the telephone) were always, ‘Hello, Baby.’ My heart would literally pound. He was a gentle man—diametrically opposed to most of the parts he played. — Lauren Bacall

A Femme Fatale is a mysterious and seductive woman. Whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations.

Happy 88th Birthday, Lauren Bacall | September 16th, 1924 - ∞  

“She has a smoldering presence that is palpable, undeniable, and riveting.” — Kelsey Grammer on Lauren Bacall.

“I´m not ashamed of what I am—of how I pass through this life. What I am has given me the strength to do it. At my lowest ebb I have never contemplated suicide. I value what is here too much. I have a contribution to make. I am not just take up space in this life. I can add something to the lives I touch. I don´t like everything I know about myself, and I´ll never be satisfied, but nobody´s perfect. I’m not sure where the next years will take me —what they will hold—but I´m open to suggestions.”

HAPPY 88TH BIRTHDAY BETTY BACALL!

Lauren Bacall’s 88th Birthday is coming up on September 16th:

She has talked in interviews about how she doesn’t feel like she has very many fans anymore. She doesn’t see all the love she gets here on tumblr from all of us.

So for her birthday, every note this post gets I will add one piece of confetti to an envelope, to represent a fan and send it to her.

I want to show her that she is loved and appreciated for her lifetime of work and show her all the fans that are still out there.
