I wish Lauren Bacall had won the Academy Award that night. She looked disappointed but at least she was nominated. She loved her cigarettes but lived to 89 anyway. What a long, interesting, and colorful life. R.I.P. I will miss her.

Meeting her was one of the happiest moments of this nobody’s life. She was honest and kind and so human and guileless. I’m so lucky I had that night.

The stars of the 1930s, 40s and 50s had something today's stars simply don't have, class...

The stars from the Hollywood golden years, those who came out of the studio system, offered such class. And some, like Miss. Bacall, humility.

Lauren Bacall accomplished quite a lot. She managed to carve out a stellar stage career when her film career faded. Her autobiography was very well written and very entertaining. It still holds up and is not a dated read. Bacall seems to have had a great capacity for friendship and I give her credit. Her friendships lasted decades. She maintained her friendships. Her children did not turn out to be drug addicts or brats. Unfortunately, her love life (after Bogart) was a string of difficulties and disappointments. However, she was strong. She did not implode. She did not get lost in self-destructive behaviors. She was a survivor. She remained positive and kept going. She kept working. She loved to work.

Laure Bacall is a true class act of an actresses and lady❤

Class, beauty, honesty and that voice. No one like her before or since. ❤️

Oh how I miss these great specials !!! Barbara always found a way to expose the under belly of a celebrity's vulnerability. This was a lovely interview. One time in history ..... We've lost so many , and with them a level of class and intelligence we'll never see again. ♥️

Lauren had such a nice voice. Very stern and in control.

I could listen to her voice all day

Bacall was MAGIC.

What a wonderful woman‼️forever missed. Gorgeous….

She was such a gorgeous lady. Beauty with class!

What a classy person!

Look at Bacall... beautiful in spirit and visually. Her voice is unique and signature. I love her hairstyle and no Botox. She is so authentic.

This lady was magnificent!

A grand dame among peasants. She was pure class and glamour.

What a great interview. I've seen her work but now see the woman of wonderful character & strength.

Lauren Bacall.. She is how people should be...real and honest! n_n

She speaks very well indeed. Immaculate.

Lauren is a very great actress❤

Beautiful, Beautiful - REAL - Lady .. An entertainer's entertainer. A STAR.

Omg for Baaarbara to get Betty to do those lines. Best moment. Miss Bacall what a gem you are!

What a lovely lady. No wonder everyone loved her.

She was a great interviewee. Not sensitive and not getting insulted. Answering questions straight in.

Just watching this (maybe I saw it when it was aired) put a smile on my face. They had fun with the interview. Both gone, but remembered.

Oh what a wonderful woman...I loved her so much.

An amazing lady with talent, wit, beauty, honesty and THAT voice. l think one of her very last movie scene was in Misery! As a New Yorker she famously lived in the Dakota Building till her passing! RIP Lauren

She is just incredibly beautiful stunning rip Lauren I hope you r with your soulmate bogie

Have always adored her!

What a great line. I had forgot about that line. Wow. She has that gift that few have. Your eyes are riveted on her.

Love her!! ❤❤

The Voice❤❤❤

Wow!! That was a GREAT interview!!! Beautiful. Gritty Women talking rock solid. Hat's Off!!

Lauren Bacall was a class act! 🥰

❤yes she was fabulous. I don’t know anyone to compare her too. Fabulous

I totally loved this lady. I consider myself lucky I got to see her on stage in the mid eighties.

I have loved her since To Have and To Have Not, you could cut the chemistry beyween her and Bogart with a knife. Key Largi is probably my favorite. She had so many great films. I've loved her since the first time i saw her, whats not to love? That humility and class. You cant have class without humility. Shockingly pretty. Easily a legend with her legendary peers.

She had such great energy! And she was funny, something her femme fatale roles didn't show. Great lady, an example of elegance.

She spoke so differently from others 😍

She was a lady of class 😉👍💯

I don't think she got enough roles or enough great ones rather. One of the most beautiful actresses ever filmed. Someone that you wouldn't be uncomfortable being around. Not many in that business can say that.

Loved this interview. Great actress

Bacall was / is one of the top ten most beautiful and desirable women ( or maybe even people) of all time. She smoked a cigarette like she was preparing to write your epitaph.

Wonderful 💋 interview. Thank you Miss Bacall!!!

I simply adore her!

She was amazing!!

Thank you for posting this Interview John Flanagan. I watched it for the first time late tonight and was just thrilled and enchanted by the beauty and character of Lauren Bacall. I've seen her in old TCM movies replayed when I was a kid, adolescent, adult and older adult. But I like her more outside of those movies- As in this interview with Barbara Walters, just simple and direct. Loved it. thank you!

BOTH ARE TRULY LEGENDARY!! AND, I LOVE THEM STILL.

I like her honesty

I love her more than you can Imagine... or will imagine.. she is Divine LOVE itself....

Loved the ending. I saw her many years ago at the Cinemateca in Lisbon, Portugal, a season of her movies. A great lady.

There will never be another Lauren Bacall or Humphrey Bogart!!

you know how to whistle aren't you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow....😭😭😭😭❤️❤️

Ha, ha ...luv it when Barbara catches Lauren off guard and asks her to do her most famous line. Gotcha ! Also, RIP to one of the best journalists if not THE to Barbara Walters.

I have never liked the way Walters was so rude in her interviews but with Bacall you can see the friendship. That says the most about Bacall's social skills.

It still devolves into a conversation about Humphrey Bogart. She deserved better.

Loving our theatrical past. Lauren Bacall is one of the greatest.

How rude of barbara to ask Miss Bacall if she was getting the lifetime achievement Oscar because she hadn’t won a Oscar and they felt sorry for her. Miss Bacall is such a classy woman!

Brutally honest a total native New Yorker I can relate

How wonderful! Just a pleasure to watch.

my mum looked like her as a young woman, we always told her xx

I think Stephen wrote "you were never what I thought a mother should be" or something to that effect. I think I read it in Bacall's first book. Expectations are a kind of prison. Expectations can blind you to the good thing in front of you.

Ms. Becall, straight forward. You rock.

She’s still gorgeous. ❤

Walters was friends with these people, probably partied at times with them, so they had no trouble just talking to her.

After Barbara asks her about winning the Oscar, Bacall replies: "There are no guarantees in my profession. Very often something comes out of left field....." Was she right ! On Oscar night, Bacall was upset by Juliette Binoche's "out from left field" win for Best Supporting Actress in "The English Patient". Binoche's screen time was actually more like an actress, not supporting. I recently went back and rented "Mirror Has Two Faces" again and Bacall's performance was so subtle yet left an indelible impression. She really deserved that Oscar no matter if you liked her as a person. There are many in LA and NY who dislike Bacall after working with her. Some say her unpopularity may have cost her the Oscar.

She always came across as tough but with a great sense of humour. I think you can tell that you'd have a good time with her, probably why her friendships with people lasted such a long time.

She became more beautiful every decade...

The utter audacity to have had Barbara Streisand recite the line, “How did it feel to be beautiful?” As if she’s not absolutely stunning!

I like the way she drinks her coffee by grabbing the cup and not by the handle down to earth woman with a great zest for life.

RIP Miss Bacall RIP Barbara Walters 😢

She had a great voice

I’m jealous she’s insanely beautiful and that voice the sexiest love her

Best interview Babs ever did! 😂 Not once did she get out of line with Bacall! Great ending! 😊💎🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

She reminded me of my grandmother

Watch her movie with Gregory Peck "Designing Woman". She wsa a wonderful actress.

I MEAN, REALLY???? LAUREN F-ING BACALL ROCKED!!!! 🥰🥰🥰

Pure class and LOVE her hairstyle- more women need to wear it like this instead of the dumb, straight, stringy stuck together pipe curls that are NOT brushed out and fluffy- they look ridiculous!!!!!

"some women never have that"..Thank you Lord for I am so blessed to have found and married my prince. for 27 years we have been newly weds both good times and bad..If anything ever happens to him I am buying a dog and calling it a day on marriage.

Bárbara Walters onde estiver que o amor de Deus esteja com você. ❤

I remember that quote “you do know how to whistle don’t u?” Because of tiny toons adventures 😅

The Academy Awards is so disgraceful. They also disrespected Farrah Fawcett.

If you're a Streisand fan, you know since childhood she's always had a complex about her own looks, she always saw herself as an ugly duckling. That's why the "Mirror" script attracted her interest so much. Streisand has held out against plastic surgery, esp on her nose against the advice of many in Hollywood. How ironic in her 70's she broke that rule and got a face lift. If you Google pics of Streisand now you would not recognize her, and that's saying it nicely.

I remember the day I went to see this movie alone on the upper east side... it was a Monday! ♡♡♡ And she truly was a New Yorker... I admire that.. not hidden in Hollywood... I admire her life and career and thanks Ms L. Bacall ♡♡♡

A uniquely stunning beauty and superb actress.

I adore her. 💝

She loved New York! I like that

Barbara Walters with her (sullen) sadism, well, she couldn't get away with it, Lauren Bacall said after the interview that Barbara Walters' eyes reminded her of a guy who's a butcher in his spare time. There's more sadism in Hollywood presenters than in a Marquis de Sade novel.

beautiful

Oh I just love her . just love her

I was not born during her early film career. she was sexy and sultry yet also looked reifender daughter was friends and neighbors with Liza Minnelli. I wish she had won the Oscar.

Such an elegance

Stunning younger.Always attractive

Indeed Lauren, you have to be a little bit crazy to stay in this business! Love you, Miss you!

Beautiful

Her name is mentioned in Madonna's song , Vogue. Thats a high tribute

Es increíble que no haya ganado ese Oscar

Among most elegant, intellectual, understated, charming and dignified of Hollywood greats. No competitive Oscar - so what? Her 'laundry list' of other wins and nom.s is extensive and gratifying.
