bacall
I’m surprised you actually asked this question. Undoubtedly, Marilyn Monroe!!
I would say Marilyn Monroe.
Lauren Bacall by far — she is a tremendous actress who has handled the losses in her life with grace and dignity. And, she is still as beautiful as ever. Her films are all memorable.
To look at or to lay? Now or then? Bacall either way for me.
Marlyin Monroe I have her book
Bacall
Well, it wasn’t Marilyn’s fault she got all the dumb roles, that’s what the studio offered her. She always played the dumb blonde. Bacall, along side her husband Bogart got to play the smart, blonde.
Lauren without question.
Miss Bacall, of course.
Miss Monroe was talented and could play both comedy and drama. However, Miss Bacall was/is simply more talented — such is her skill and stage presence that she can make an audience laugh merely by raising an eye brow. She also possesses a much more expressive and interesting voice — smoky, arch, sinewy, etc.
To her credit, Miss Monroe studied acting quite a lot. I think she would have continually gotten better had she lived longer.
Bacall had far more class, and had finer talent.
Monroe had the Kennedy scandal, you never heard about a Bacall scandal.
Lauren Bacall is an actress with depth. Unfortunately, Hollywood does not often continue to utilize their legends after a certain age.
I would surely appreciate seeing her again in a movie.
While waiting for an audition at the Minskoff Theater on Broadway in New York City, I went quickly to the ladies room. While washing my hands, out of one stall walks Lauren Bacall. I couldn´t believe it. I managed a meek “Hello”. She said, “Hello”. She was extremely elegant, graceful, humble and friendly.
Bacall. Monroe was a bimbo.
I have to say Marilyn Monroe. Some assume that Marilyn was a dumb blonde because that’s the character she most often played in films. Though, if you read her story, she is far from dumb and tried so hard to play other types of roles besides the “dumb bimbo” but the studio controlled her. She desperately wanted to be taken as a serious actress and wanted the sort of respect that other actors got. Once you read her story you’ll realize she’s a totally different person.
