Actress Lauren Bacall on Romance On- and Off-Screen
Bacall is a legend, though she doesn't like to think of herself as such. She's been a star of stage and screen for fifty years, was married to Humphrey Bogart, and won the National Book Award for her 1978 autobiography "By Myself." Her new book, "Now," tells the story of her last fifteen years and the experiences that have shaped her life.
