Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall
The madmen seem to live on forever, don't they?
Lauren Bacall
The purity of Jewish upbringing - the restrictions that one carries through life being a 'nice Jewish girl' - what a burden.
Lauren Bacall
How many women do we know who were continually kissed by Clark Gable, William Powell, Cary Grant, Spencer Tracy and Fredric March? Only one: Myrna Loy...
Lauren Bacall
Life is not what you expected it to be.
Lauren Bacall
The first time anything happens to you - your first love, your first success - the second one is never the same.
Lauren Bacall
I wish Frank Sinatra would just shut up and sing.
Lauren Bacall
God if the press ever quoted anyone correctly it would be brilliant.
Lauren Bacall
Legends are all to do with the past and nothing to do with the present.
Lauren Bacall
