The great Lauren Bacall passed away last month at the age of 89. I rushed to get this caricature up because tonight you can see several of her best performances on TCM. To Have and Have Not and The Big Sleep (both with Humphrey Bogart) show first. Then How To Marry a Millionaire with Marilyn Monroe. And finally Harper with Paul Newman. A great evening of terrific performances in classic movies.
This, by the way, was done in Illustrator. I fiddled with it for quite awhile before it began to take shape. The eyes were the key (they always are). It was only when I had her look to the right that it began to capture her. Then I added that slight hint of a coming smile that fixed it for me. Click on the image to see a larger version.
