I thought she was still tall for some reason. But she looks only about 5'6" next to Glenn.

Bacall is one of the most respected actress of her time period. She kind of fell off the map after "HTMAM", but she is genrrlly regarded as a legend by most film buffs. Stuff like "The Big Sleep", "To Have And Have And Not" and "Key Largo" are all classics, though her films without Bogart neer seemed to get a great deal of recognition. But when naming older actresses who've influenced them, Bacall is almost alwys brought up.

gee i never knew she was a legend.really?.

[Editor Rob: Maybe for that generation, I mean show a pic of Bacall in a retirement home and mostly everybody would know her, show a pic of Christian Bale and more than half wouldn't be able to name him.]

What are you talking about her filmography isn't that impressive the woman is a legend. Also Bogart would stand on boxes to make himself appear taller on screen.

Glenn says on 13/Feb/07
VERY difficult.NEVER poses.I wasnt too impressed looking at her filmography.I only reconized a couple movies.and they wernt really famous movies.How to Marry a Millionaire I guess was the biggest.

Awesome photo. 5'6 looks right for today. One of the few living legends we still have

In an old article with Vanity Fair, she said she was 5 foot 7 when she met Bogart but loved big heels. Also for Madame Toussaud's, they measure you extensively, so no fudging. I was quite shocked at how short a lot of the stars were.

[Editor Rob: well, way in the past a few stars did 'agree' to such a thing. But I know that for many they have had to do the 'guessing' game aswell, except sometimes they have access to such things as a tailor measurement ;)]

Rob - Don't know if its a camera illusion but Bogart looks an inch or two taller than Bacall on the photograph you suggested to look at....

[Editor Rob: it's a tricky one...I'm not sure if both were 174cm, maybe bacall marginally shorter...although if you've seen bacall and bogart in film you congratulate the director of photography for ensuring bogart looked a big guy compared to her]
