Yesterday we lost one of the most memorial actresses of classic film, Lauren Bacall. She exploded on to the silver screen in 1944 in the film To Have and Have Not as Marie “Slim” Browning opposite Humphry Bogart.  Few could forget the sultry look and delivery of one her most famous lines, “You know how to whistle, don’t you?  You just put your lips together and blow.”   This film also introduced her to Humphry Bogart the man who would later become her husband, in a life imitates art moment.  They were together until his passing in 1957. It is said that she placed a whistle in his coffin as a memorial to the line and film that brought them together.  She stared in more than forty-three films in her career.  In 2010 she was given an honorary Academy Award of her work in what is termed the Golden Age of Hollywood.
