"If there was one thing I had never been, it was mysterious, and if there was one thing I had never done, it was not talk."

Shamefully overlooked by what laughingly passes for "the media" these days, 100 years ago today a true legend [although she hated the term] was born - Miss Lauren Bacall.

All hail!

"If goodness is its own reward, shouldn't we get a little something for being naughty?"

"Growing up takes longer than you think."

"Looking at yourself in a mirror isn't exactly a study of life."

Such a gloriously beautiful and charismatic woman - her image is destined to live forever.

And she appeared to be a fun person, too!
