Sultry actress, Lauren Bacall, who rose to fame in the 1940s opposite her husband Humphrey Bogart in films such as “To Have and Have Not” and “The Big Sleep,” died on Tuesday, at the age of 89.
“With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall,” the Humphrey Bogart Estate tweeted.
She reportedly died after suffering a major stroke at home in New York.
In her career and life, Bacall once said: “I traveled by roller coaster, a roller coaster on which the highs were as high as anyone could ever hope to go. And the lows! Oh, those lows were lower than anyone should ever have to go – 10 degrees below hell.”
The Oscar winning actress is survived by three children – Stephen and Leslie Bogart and Sam Robards.
