Losing Bogey was horrible, obviously. Because he was young. And because he gave me my life. I wouldn’t have had a — I don’t know what would have happened to me if I hadn’t met him — I would have had a completely different kind of life. He changed me, he gave me everything. And he was an extraordinary man. - Lauren Bacall

“And out the door. Into my car and around the corner to Rodeo Drive and Wilshire Boulevard. There was Bogie with Jimmy Gleason, whom he’d met at some bar. I ran up the street - arms open wide, hair flying - to Bogie’s smiling face and safe embrace. We sat in the car for a while - Gleason didn’t know or care what was going on - it was just that Bogie had to see his Baby. What it felt like to be so wanted, so adored! No one had ever felt like that about me. It was all so dramatic, too. Always in the wee small hours when it seemed to Bogie and me that the world was ours - that we were the world. At those times were were.”— Lauren Bacall

Sometimes I get very nostalgic because he died very young and he didn’t have a chance to see his children grow at all. But on the other hand, because he never aged he’s more alive than ever to more generations. He’d have never believed this. -Lauren Bacall
