Sultry, sophisticated and sassy, screen siren Bacall dies at 89

The cinema icon Lauren Bacall has died at the age of 89. The star's electric partnership with Humphrey Bogart brought a new allure to the big screen. She introduced a new style of sexual equality to the Hollywood cinema in the 1940s by co-starring in two films with Humphrey Bogart; the couple fell in love while making Howard Hawks's To Have And Have Not (1944) and were married when they made the same director's The Big Sleep (1946).
