Lauren Bacall dies at 89

Lauren Bacall -- one of the leading ladies of the Golden Age of Hollywood -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.

A family member tells us Bacall had a massive stroke Tuesday morning at her home.

Bacall -- who famously stared with and married Humphrey Bogart -- starred in a slew of movies, including "The Mirror Has Two Faces," "How to Marry a Millionaire" and "Designing Woman."

One of Bacall's biggest movies was with Bogart -- "Key Largo" in 1948.

She married Bogart in 1945 and were together until his death in 1957.

Flashback to the days when stars were real stars with talent and not models reading lines.


RIP

recounting of the Labor Day hurricane (1935), blowing the train off the Overseas Highway, Trevor bravely, pitifully singing her song to the gangsters. And Bacall standing by her man, even after humiliation. That movie pushed you up against the wall.

the dialogue in To Have or Have Not was some of the funniest, sexiest, and smartest in movies.

This could only be so great if Bogie and Bacall were already in love. The scene sparkles and one can see in hind sight why. This is cinematic magic at its best.
