Default Lauren Bacall, Film Legend, dies at age 89

This may not resonate with many people, but an amazing actress with an amazing career. I was introduced to her because my grandfathers favorite actor was Humphery Bogart, and she managed to hold the screen across from some of the biggest actors of her time, as well as work consistently, through to a film she was in the process of shooting now.

With the current thread of top 5 movies that we've been throwing films out on, my top Bacall movies :
1) To Have or Have Not
2) The Big Sleep
3) Key Largo
4) How to Marry a Millionaire
5) Murder on the Orient Express

True, I've seen mostly only her big films, but she shone as few actress or actors are capable. Everyone has been struck by the tragedy of Robin Williams passing, but I'd hate for Bacall to become a footnote. Perhaps this is an opportunity to celebrate the work of these actors and not the nature of their death.
