Lauren Bacall Blogthon: Behind-the-Scenes with Baby

 

In Celebration of the Lovely Lauren Bacall, a Behind-the-Scenes Pictorial...

As probably all of us classic movie fans know, Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart met while filming To Have and Have Not (1944). Bacall was only 19 at the time, and Bogie was a whopping 44 — and thus, his nickname for her, “Baby”. Although Bogart was married at the time, the chemistry between the two was strong, and they started seeing each other. Bogart divorced his wife in February 1945, and Bogie and Bacall were married a few months later, on May 21, 1945. They were married until Bogie’s death in 1957.

To celebrate “Baby” as part of this Lauren Bacall Blogathon, here are some behind-the-scenes photos:

    Hi Annemarie. Great idea for a post. How about that jacket Delmer Davies is wearing? I wonder what it looked like in color.
