Mostly I like Lauren Bacall. She is just so much fun to watch.
And that Look...what can you say.
Anyhoo....after looking at some youtubes clips of her movies, I thought I would put up a little blog about her and my fave Bogart and Bacall movies.
Below I have some basic Lauren Bacall statistics.
After that I have clips from To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep and a vid of clips from various movies.
Enjoy!!
