Lauren Bacall will turn 75 on Thursday.
The following excerpt is from her recently
published biography, By Myself and Then Some.
and uncle, Lauren Bacall knew, even in high
school, that she wanted to be an actress.
She took acting classes, modeled clothes,
sold industry papers in the theater
district, ushered at shows, danced at the USO
—anything to get a break.
Barely 18 when director Howard Hawks brought
her to Hollywood for a screen test, she soon fell
in love with Bogart, married and started a family.
After Bogart's death a decade later, she rebounded
with Sinatra, but tied the knot with Jason Robards
before finding her way as a single woman, with
friends and work as her passion.
