Actress Lauren Bacall, the husky-voiced Hollywood icon known for her sultry sensuality, died Aug. 12 at age 89.
Robbert de Klerk, co-managing partner of the Humphrey Bogart Estate, said Bacall died in New York, CNN reported. Bacall (born Betty Joan Perske) started experiencing international fame in 1944 with her first film, To Have and Have Not, which she made with future husband Humphrey Bogart. They made more films together (e.g., Key Largo) before Bogart died in 1957.
Bacall won two Tony Awards (for her roles in the Broadway musicals Applause and Woman of the Year) and an honorary Oscar; also, she was nominated for three Emmy Awards.
