LOS ANGELES: Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall, who died Tuesday, is survived by some of the most memorable lines ever spoken on the silver screen, as well as some razor-sharp opinions of her own.
Here is a selection, drawn from the IMDB.com online entertainment database unless otherwise noted.
From her movies:
-- "You know you don't have to act with me, Steve. You don't have to say anything, and you don't have to do anything. Not a thing. Oh, maybe just whistle. You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and blow." (as Marie "Slim" Browning, to Humphrey Bogart's Harry Morgan, in "To Have and Have Not")
-- "So you're a private detective. I didn't know they existed, except in books, or else they were greasy little men snooping around hotel corridors. My, you're a mess, aren't you?" (as Vivien Rutledge, to Bogart's Philip Marlowe, in "The Big Sleep")
-- "Charlie! Charlie Winook and his family, Crawfish Island. Charlie's a prince of the Seminole Nation. His ancestors go back to the gods. He sells sea shells by the sea shore." (as Nora Temple, in "Key Largo")
