Here - in her own words, her own voice - is the life of Lauren Bacall, the nice, bright New York Jewish girl who, at sixteen, was working as an usher in Broadway theatres while scrambling around for the Big Break; who was "discovered" first as a model by Diana Vreeland, then as a potential movie star by Howard and Slim Hawks; and who - at age nineteen - found herself in Hollywood with a new name, a starring role, and sudden huge fame as a funny (she was) and tough (she wasn't) sexpot. And who found Bogart, and became his "Baby," in one of the greatest of all Hollywood romances.
