Divas - The Site appreciates your votes and comments. Here are some of the little gems you chose to share with us.

 

Kerstin (Germany) on Lauren Bacall
"Just a great woman - not trying to be cute or beautiful but just being herself. Great actress and human being."

Alessio (Italy) on Lauren Bacall
"She is my all time favorite actress. She is absolutely the best actress and the most wonderful woman in the history of the world. What talent, what personality, what class! What looks ! I have been in love with her since I was a baby and saw for the first time a film of hers. I'll be in love with her forever!"

Jonathan (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She's wry and tells it straight.  She's got that special something... like I realize she's not a patsy to mess around with... she's got substance, moxie, if you will.  And for goodness' sake, she's lasted in a tough industry that forgets many so quickly."

Cat (Italy) on Lauren Bacall
"Oh... she is perfect."

Claire (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"I think she is gorgeous and a wonderful actress. She seems almost tough and strong. She has beautiful eyes."

Fred (Holland) on Lauren Bacall
"It's her radiation."

David (Germany) on Lauren Bacall
"They don't make 'em like this anymore."

Romina (Argentina) on Lauren Bacall
"... because I'm similar to her. I resemble Lauren Bacall 
everybody tells me."

Don (Denmark) on Lauren Bacall
"She stayed at the hotel I work at (Dec -04) and she still had quite an attitude but very friendly. She was to the point and I enjoyed talking to her. And she still looked good! A very, very classy lady! And to think, I got to serve her tea in her hotel room! It's her and Bette Davis!"

Vivian (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She is just a wonderful actress, and I love her character.  She is sassy and classy at the same time. I just love her as an actress and as a wife to Bogie."

Alex (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She's the only one who is at least close to being as intellectually and sensually stimulating as my wife."

Alejandro (Mexico) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she is a Film Noir movies' dream. I'm a painter and I am inspired by her sexy look."

Michael (Russia) on Lauren Bacall
"She has a Look and a Voice, and a Face. That's all."

Ernest (Canada) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she made the right things happen. Even when there was setbacks she knew she was right. She just knew, wasn't sure why. She set a course and stayed through thick and thin."

Stefaan (Belgium) on Lauren Bacall
"She is such a great person, her looks, her voice, she is everything!"

Jessica (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She is an amazing actress, not to mention the fact that she is the hottest person on the face of the earth... still."

David (Venezuela) on Lauren Bacall
"With a flip of her hair, and the words spoken in that sexual come hither voice, its amazing that more men aren't reduced to puddles of testeron when she is around! I still get goose pimples from here line in To Have and To Have Not, "You know how to whistle Steve? Just put your lips together and blow!" Oh my... what more can I say?"

Megan (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She's my favorite diva because she is wise, smart, and a very all around wonderful person and role model.  Also, her acting and beauty make her a person to remember and look up to."

Laura (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She's the best!"

Tazkia (Saudi Arabia) on Lauren Bacall
"I just love her."

David (Germany) on Lauren Bacall
"She's absolutely amazing in all respects-- and that voice!"

Melquisedec (Brazil) on Lauren Bacall
"... because of her look, her voice and her unique class."

Michael (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She taught us all how to whistle!"

Stephanie (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She looks like me, and I think she's lovely, and a terrific actress in all her work."

Joey (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She has.... made "the Look"."

Perrin (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"True to herself.  The original  "Cool Breeze"."

Kristine (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Lauren Bacall is talented, beautiful, and has amazing style. She is an incredible woman and entertainer. I am in awe of her love story with Humphrey Bogart. She had the fairy-tale."

N.W. (UK) on Lauren Bacall
"She has that certain look and smile that is so tantalizing. It's making me shiver as I write this e-mail. Lauren is the woman of all time for me."

Lori (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She has style and grace. She is in a class by herself and classy is the word which best describes this beautiful, talented actress. She is tough but tender as I believe Lauren Bacall is a great role model for young women, today. I have collected everything on Bacall and Bogie that I could get my hands on. Since, I was fifteen I have been collecting and adoring them both. They had a great love-story. They were crazy about each other. Uniquely, faithful to one another, in Hollywood where fidelity is not popular or the norm. They stood for intelligence, class, and integrity. I was able to meet Bacall on Broadway, three years ago. She is still beautiful and as we exchanged a few words about her play, she was charming. I wrote her a brief letter and without asking, she sent me an autographed picture. I also went to Mansfield, Ohio, to the place where she married Bogie in 1945."

Kabocha (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She's a great actress and a totally cool role model. She can take care of herself and still be vulnerable at the same time."

Charles (UK) on Lauren Bacall
"Beauty!"
 

Bernard (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"You know how to whistle, don't you, Steve? You just put your lips together and... blow."  

Robbert (Holland) on Lauren Bacall
"She is just a diva with balls and she rules. Go Lauren!"  

Emily (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Lauren Bacall is part of a very tiny group of people who possess a mysterious quality I call "It." I define It as the commanding presence that allows a person to walk into a room, give me a direct order, and reasonably expect me to follow it without argument. Sean Connery has It. Johnny Cash has It. And Lauren Bacall most definitely has It. I envy her."  

Kathleen (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Lauren Bacall is one of the best and most under-appreciated actresses ever! I totally adore her in everything she does, and feel that she should win this! After all, as she says, "Good taste is easy to recognize.""  

John (Canada) on Lauren Bacall
"The looks and the female toughness and intelligence showcased in To Have And Have Not, The Big Sleep and How To Marry A Millionaire will forever remain in the minds of fans around the world."  

Martin (Belgium) on Lauren Bacall
"She has The Big Class and many modern day stars have yet to understand that they do not have this class. And as I'm a big fan of Humphrey Bogart, to me she represents the ideal woman. Lauren, we love you."  

Gloria (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"I think Lauren Bacall is the best actress I've ever seen, I just loved her in "To Have and Have Not" with Humphrey Bogart. She's a beautiful lady."  

Ian (UK) on Lauren Bacall
"She is simply the most perfect, intimidating, vulnerable, ethereal, ordinary woman I've ever watched on a screen (and yes, I think I'm in love!)"  

Kerri (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She is the ultimate femme-fatale."  

Jessie (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"... because I read her autobiography and found that she's a very, very brave person. She's smart, and she it just like a normal person with normal feelings. I like that."  

Debbie (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She has a certain quality about her that makes her a real diva."  

Teresa (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She was 19, Bogie was 45'sh! I'd venture to say. She was (and still is) a remarkable woman to have held his interest. Brains, beauty, strength, sass and class... and was always devoted to Bogie. Yes, a class act in my book!"  

Nora (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"The Eyes!"  

Jay (Canada) on Lauren Bacall
"She is awesome! Great actress and beautiful!"  

Sara (Belgium) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she's classy and has style. She is a great and gorgeous actress. She is courageous, she succeeded with her performances in both cinema and theater.
She is really great!"  

Stewart (UK) on Lauren Bacall
"She's a fox!"  

John (Germany) on Lauren Bacall
"The Eyes!"  

Erin (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She is smart and sophisticated, a perfect diva who knows how to use her sex appeal to get what she wants.  Also, her marriage with Bogie is one of the greatest love stories."  

Tommy (USA) on Lauren Bacall
The Rock! Through it all she stayed solid."  

Magdalena (Sweden) on Lauren Bacall
"She's a great actress!"  

Kim (Philippines) on Lauren Bacall
"Even though she's an old actress, not from my generation,  to me she is still one of the best actresses ever. Besides the striking good looks, she just has something that makes her stand out. I love that voice and the hair, and the look.  

Buck (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she is still making movies."  

Jenny (UK) on Lauren Bacall
"... because I'd kill for eyes like that!"  

Lori (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Style, grace, attitude!"  

Chrissy (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Lauren is my favorite diva because she is a strong woman and she didn't take any crap from any man. I believe she is an example of what a real woman should be, bold, yet beautiful at the same time."  

Jenny (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She is incredible. Lauren defines sultry. She manages to be campy and sophisticated all at the same time. Her screen chemistry, especially with Humphrey Bogart, is a thing to behold. She is an actress of grace, power, and presence."  

Megan (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She is an amazing person. She is so down-to-earth and funny. She has a wonderful singing voice and voice. Her grace and originality is so wonderful. She seems so pure and seems to love her job. I love Lauren Bacall.  She is a caring and loving mother.  Go Lauren!"  

Ewok (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she is an inspiration for my becoming an actress."  

Ariel (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she has such an overwhelming amount of class and elegance that it doesn't seem possible that it belongs to one person."  

Elsa (Portugal) on Lauren Bacall
"She had and has (it's why she's fantastic) a certain air. May be it's what we call charm. But I think it's more than that. It's a certain air. And I like that."  

Tatjana (Germany) on Lauren Bacall
"I read Bacall's By Myself many times. To me she is absolutely the no.1 of all actresses and famous personalities because of her style, her elegance, her beautiful look, her enormous power and energy. After her first husband died, she didn't give up but took life in her own hands and made the very best of it.  I just adore her, she is such a great woman!"  

Alicia (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She smolders on screen.  Her acting and attitude are great!"  

Cyndee (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Love her so much I named my daughter after her!"

"Style, strength, grace, star-quality. Unlike some of the less fortunate divas, Ms. Bacall remains dignified and her star never dimmed.  And oh that voice and those looks."  

Katchoo (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She rocks my world. She is sex."  

Lety (Chile) on Lauren Bacall
"... because she is elegant, enigmatic and pretty."  

Kasia (Poland) on Lauren Bacall
"Beautiful and talented!"  

Emily (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She's got the wits and sex on screen but she's nice and humble off screen."  

Hannie (Holland) on Lauren Bacall
"She is the actress who started my love of movies much older than me. When she plays a role, she takes you into the movie and the movie never leaves your mind. She's a star never seen before!"  

Louis (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"... because her elegance and grace has been unsurpassed by any modern actress till this date."  

Hugh (Australia) on Lauren Bacall

"Classic beauty and talent. Nothing else needs to be said."  

Danielle (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Well, let's see, she went for her dream to become an actress even though the plays she was in were flops in the beginning. After that, she was well known for having what was titled 'The Look.' And the way she acts, a natural! She went from a no one to a star practically overnight! She's the best actress, hands down."

Patrick (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Talent, beauty, and most of all ... style!"  

Jennifer-Elizabeth (Sweden) on Lauren Bacall
"She's the screen stealer who still seduces the whole world with her extraordinary beauty and talent."

Jessica (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Bacall kicks serious butt! She has always had 'it' from the time she was 19, to now at 76. She is like they say in A Chorus Line 'She's the one!' She has the amazing power to make one think 'wow!'"

Robson (Brazil) on Lauren Bacall
"She is by far the greatest survival between all the divas! I haven't seen or heard about anyone who has more strength, charm, and beauty than Miss Bacall ... and she had to have such a lion voice!"

R.M. (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"What can I say, she just is."

Tracy (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She was beautiful, and still is, smart, and a perfect match for Bogie. I love her not only as an actress, but as a writer, and her honesty and tremendous sense of humor is what makes me admire her. Three cheers for Betty!"

Jack (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"I have never forgotten her performance in 'To have and to have not'. Sometimes I thought that the silver screen was smoking at the edges when she and Bogart were delivering her lines. Bogart was not only the greatest actor in Hollywood but he was a lucky man to have 'Betty' Lauren Bacall."

Lori (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"She popularized the independent woman, and still does so today!"

Renee (Holland) on Lauren Bacall
"She is a great actress and a great personality and in my teens I wanted to be just like her. Her book 'Lauren Bacall, By Myself' is a book that I have read many times in my teens (and still do) and it helped me a lot with my problems of growing up. But most of all she is a wonderful actress and I have seen a lot of her movies. Those with Bogie are my favorites, but without him she is also very good. And she still is today. I am glad that she is still around."

H.W. (Germany) on Lauren Bacall
"I like the way she acts."

Jessica (USA) on Lauren Bacall
"Lauren Bacall not only has changed the arts, but she has also given her time for many causes. She is a role model, that at her age of 75, is still as active as ever! Lauren Bacall rocks!"
