LAUREN Bacall is reportedly dead aged 89.
TMZ reports a family member told them Bacall had “a massive stroke” at her home on Tuesday morning.
Bacall was an American stage and film actress and model, known for her husky voice and sultry looks.
Betty Joan Perske in the Bronx, New York in 1924, she married Humphrey Bogart in 1945 and the pair remained together until his death from esophageal cancer in 1957.

At their time of marriage, Bacall was 20 and he was 45. They had two children, Stephen Humphrey Bogart and Leslie Bogart.
After a brief romance with Frank Sinatra following Bogart’s death, Bacall married Jason Robards Jr in 1961 and divorced him in 1969 mainly because of his alcoholism. They had one son, Sam Robards.
Bacall is the only Oscar winner to be married to two other winners (Bogart and Robards).
More to come.

Saddened by the news. Lauren Bacall was one of my all-time favourite actresses. A wonderful actress with a strong on-screen personality. May she rest in peace.
