Lauren Bacall12 April 2005
Lauren Bacall
Listen to this item
Lauren Bacall was catapulted into stardom in 1944 starring opposite Humphrey Bogart in To Have and Have Not


She defined a new kind of sex appeal with her angular looks, vulnerability and wisecracks.

At twenty they married and she became half of one of the world's most celebrated couples.

At twenty-four she was a mother, at twenty-five an actress on the wane and at thirty-two she was a widow.

Sixty years later she's still making films, and headlines.

She tells Jenni about stardom then and now, and her life with and without Bogie.
