Lauren Bacall aka Betty Joan Perske

Actress -- via TMZ. One of the last great performers from the Golden Age of Hollywood, Bacall started as a model, then got cast in "To Have and Have Not," which sparked both her career and her romance and eventual marriage with Humphrey Bogart. Since then, she did great work in film, on radio and stage, and on TV. Some other highlights: "The Big Sleep," "Key Largo," "Written on the Wind," "Applause," "Murder on the Orient Express," "Misery," and "Dogville." She even made fun appearances on such shows as "The Sopranos" and "Family Guy." She could act, she was funny, and she was smokin' hot.
