Born Betty Joan Perske in New York City, Bacall studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts after high school. At age 19, she first made her mark by landing the role of Marie Browning, opposite Humphrey Bogart, in 1944’s To Have and Have Not — the first of many on-screen pairings for the actors, who would marry the following year and stay together until Bogart’s passing in ’57.
Bacall’s perhaps most lauded film role was in The Mirror Has Two Faces, which netted her numerous accolades including Golden Globe and SAG awards and an Oscar nod. In 2010, she collected an honorary Academy Award in recognition of her “central place in the Golden Age of motion pictures.”
