My Personal Comments
- I like her very much in her older black and white movies along with Bogie
- some of my favourites with her are "To Have And Have Not" (1944), "The Big Sleep" (1946) and "Written On The Wind" (1956)
- her father was William Perske, and her mother Natalie Perske (Weinstein-Bacal was Natalies maiden name)
- her parents divorced when Lauren was 5 years old (Natalie took the Bacal from her maiden name after the divorce)
- later, Lauren added an "l" to Bacal, and the "Lauren" was a Hollywood addition
- she is the widow of Humphrey Bogart (* 23. January 1899)...they were married from 21. May 1945 until his death on 14. January 1957
- she was also married to actor Jason Robards (04. July 1961 - 10. September 1969, divorced)
- on 26. December 2000 her ex-husband, actor Jason Robards (* 26. July 1922) dies of cancer
- has a son Stephen Humphrey, a TV news producer, and a daughter, Leslie Howard, a nurse and yoga teacher with Humphrey Bogart
- has a son, Sam (* 16. December 1961), an actor with Jason Robards, Jr., and a daughter in law, Suzy Amis (* 05. January 1962), an actress, through her marriage with Robards
