Synopsis

The epitome of grace, independence, and wit, Lauren Bacall continues to project an audacious spirit and pursue on-screen excellence. The product of an extraordinary mother and a loving extended family, she produced, with Humphrey Bogart, some of the most electric and memorable scenes in movie history. After tragically losing Bogart, she returned to New York and a brilliant career in the theatre. A two-time Tony winner, she married and later divorced her second love, Jason Robards, and never lost sight of the strength that made her a star.

Now, thirty years after the publication of her original National Book Award–winning memoir, Bacall has added new material to her inspiring history. In her own frank and beautiful words, one of our most enduring actresses reveals the remarkable true story of a lifetime so rich with incident and achievement that Hollywood itself would be unable to adequately reproduce it.

About this title

About the Author:

Lauren Bacall was spotted by Howard Hawks when she was on the cover of Harper's Bazaar at eighteen.

Bacall went on to make more than fifty films and continues to be a major presence in the industry. She is the recipient of many lifetime achievement awards, two Tony awards, two Golden Globes, and an Oscar nomination. She is the mother of Stephen, Leslie, and Sam, and continiues to live in New York City with her beloved papillon, Sophie.

From AudioFile:

Bacall is back! In this reissue of her 1979 memoir, BY MYSELF, she addsAND THEN SOME, a frank account of the years since. While BY MYSELF hits the happiness and triumphs of Hollywood's golden heydays, AND THEN SOME is more somber--covering the years since Bogie's death, her turbulent marriage to Jason Robards, Jr., the passing of Bacall's dearest friends, including Katharine Hepburn, and the struggles of a woman alone, pursuing an acting career at an age when roles are hard to come by. The real plus is hearing Bacall telling all in her deep, sexy voice. Here's listening to you, kid. M.T.B. © AudioFile 2005, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
