She scored Tony Awards for her Broadway shows Applause and Woman of the Year, and Golden Globe and Oscar nominations for her role in 1996’s The Mirror Has Two Faces.
She received an honorary Academy Award in 2009.
Born Betty Joan Perske in New York, Bacall’s mother was a Romanian immigrant and her father was a New Jersey salesman.
