Lauren Bacall

Lauren Bacall fascinates me because her career refuses to fit one box. The husky voice and famous gaze made her a Golden Age icon, but I am more impressed by what came after: two Tony Awards for musicals, a National Book Award for her memoir, and an honorary Oscar in 2010. How many screen legends have won a major literary prize? Born in the Bronx in 1924, she carried old Hollywood's mystique into the modern era without ever seeming like a relic. To me she represents intelligence wearing glamour, not the other way around — a standard of stardom we rarely see anymore.
