In 1948, Ms. Bacall had what she termed

“one of my happiest movie experiences”

when she starred with Bogart, Lionel Barrymore,

Edward G. Robinson and Claire Trevor

in John Huston’s crime thriller “Key Largo.”

It was their last film together.

Lauren Bacall    USA    1924-2014

actress whose provocative glamour

elevated her to stardom

in Hollywood’s golden age

and whose lasting mystique

put her on a plateau

in American culture that few stars reach

(...)

With an insinuating pose

and a seductive, throaty voice

— her simplest remark

sounded like a jungle

mating call, one critic said —

Ms. Bacall shot to fame in 1944

with her first movie,

Howard Hawks’s adaptation

of the Ernest Hemingway novel

“To Have and Have Not,”

playing opposite Humphrey Bogart,

who became her lover on the set

and later her husband.

(...)

In 1947,

as the House Un-American

Activities Committee

investigated Americans

suspected of Communism,

Ms. Bacall and Bogart

were among 500 Hollywood personalities

to sign a petition protesting

what they called the committee’s attempt

“to smear the motion picture industry.”

Investigating individual political beliefs,

the petition said,

violated the basic principles

of American democracy.

The couple flew to Washington

as part of a group known

as the Committee for the First Amendment,

which also include Danny Kaye,

John Garfield, Gene Kelly, John Huston,

Ira Gershwin and Jane Wyatt.

“I am an outraged

and angry citizen who feels

that my basic civil liberties

are being taken away from me,”

Bogart said in a statement.
