There are people who are doing everything correctly. How did they do - God knows, but they do as they see fit, despite the opinion of the rest of the world, and each step is correct.
Lauren Bacall - this.
Modeling career eighteen Betty Joan Persky is under a year, as she was crowned the cover Harper's Bazaar. Caught the eye of Howard Hawks, advertising photo becomes a passport to Hollywood: the director was looking for an unfamiliar face for the heroine of a new adaptation of Hemingway. "To Have and Have Not" brings glory, a name known to anyone even slightly interested in the history of cinema, nicknamed «The Look» and love Humphrey Bogart. Vzglyad askance and timbre of the voice would imitate the thousands of girls many generations, although the actress was trying to say as low as possible in order to look more mature, and as for the look ... "Usually, I was shaking all over with excitement, therefore, to somehow keep his head firmly, I lowered the chin, almost hugging him to her breast, and both looked up at Bogart's. That's where did that look." A marriage to Humphrey, she goes, ignoring the great difference in age, nebezoblachny matrimonial experience of the actor and the fame, and this union is considered the most romantic and strong from all of Hollywood. She gave Bogart 12 years of tranquility, two children and three joint projects that have become recognized classics.
Harmoniously combining privacy with a permanent employment in the profession, Bacall, year after year interleaves noir with comedy and historical drama with documentary films, and Hollywood success - to Broadway. In the stage incarnation of "Women of the Year", it coexists with the equally cinematic Katharine Hepburn in "Cactus Flower" - with Ingrid Bergman in "applause" - with Bette Davis in "All About Eve."
She becomes the most striking way in the constellation of venerable artists' Murder on the Orient Express "- for me personally, and when I think of Lauren Bacall, immediately reminded her of Mrs. Hubbard (well, and, of course, Shatsi Page, the unofficial leader of unlucky threesome ladies of marriageable age from the comedy "How to Marry a Millionaire").
She plays in the film, in theater and on television for more than sixty years, tearing down the applause, "the Golden Globe and a Tony. She risked and fun, experimenting with the author's movie (already double its presence on the set had the honor to Lars von Trier) and voiced cartoons Miyazaki.

In the coming 82-th Bacall Oscar ceremony will be awarded a prize for his contribution to the development of cinema, which makes me even some bewilderment. These Americans are-track. Knowing sense of courtesy, France handed her a "Cesar" back in 1997-m, and fair Sweden - prize for lifetime achievement "at the 11th International Film Festival in Stockholm in 2000.
