Lauren Bacall (1924–2014) was an American actress. One of the last surviving major stars from the Golden Age of Hollywood, she was named the 20th-greatest female star of classic Hollywood cinema by the American Film Institute, and received an Academy Honorary Award in 2009 in recognition of her contribution to the Golden Age of motion pictures. Bacall made her acting debut on Broadway in 1942 at the age of 17, and her final role was as a guest voice appearance in 2014. During her long career, she won seven major awards: one Oscar, one Critics' Choice Award, two Golden Globes, one Screen Actors Guild Award, and two Tony Awards. This photograph, taken by Bernard Gotfryd circa 1979, shows Bacall with the manuscript of her first autobiography, Lauren Bacall by Myself, at the offices of the publishing house Alfred A. Knopf.
