man who stole her heart — Humphrey
Bogart, whom- she met in 1944 on the
set of To Have and Have Not. Though
he was married when the two began an
affair, he divorced his wife and married
Bacall after the filming. The two later
co-starred in The Big Sleep (1946) and
Key Largo (1948). Bacall was Bogey's
fourth wife and the couple had two
children. "I wanted to marry him as
much as I wanted to breathe," she said.
After his death in 1957, Bacall
went on to starring roles in movies
like Harper (1966) and Murder on the
Orient Express (1974). She was briefly
engaged to crooner Frank Sinatra, and
later married actor Jason Robards. The
couple had one son and divorced.
In addition to her first husband,
Bacall has had the honor of working
with a host of first-class leading men,
including Kirk Douglas, who stars with
her in an upcoming film due out this
September.
Bacall has
appeared in more
than 30 films, and
has won two Tony
Awards, for lead
roles in Applause
and Woman of the
Year.

Bogart. "If I had-
n t married
Bogie, who knows what my career
would have done," she mused.
Though neither of her husbands was
Jewish, Bacall reflected lovingly on her
heritage in her first book, Lauren
Bacall, By Myself. In it, she wrote, "The
Jewish family feeling stands proud and
strong, and at least I can say I'm glad I
sprang from that. I would not trade
those roots — that identity."
Religion is not a major parr of the
actress' life today, though she spoke
fondly of her first trip to Israel, which
took place about 10 years ago. She
said she still feels connected to her
Jewish background. "I think it is
important and it will always be a parr
of me and I'm glad that it is. But I'm
not denominationally oriented. I
think there are ways to live your life
that have nothing to do with denomi-
nation," she noted. "Anything that
gives you solace and the ability to get
through the day, I think, is great."
