One of Hollywood's leading ladies, actress Lauren Bacall has died aged 89.
Bacall's death was confirmed by the Bogart estate, French news agency AFP reported.
"With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall," the estate said on Twitter.
Born Betty Joan Perske -- "a nice Jewish girl from the Bronx," as she later put it -- Bacall electrified Hollywood in her 1944 screen debut "To Have and Have Not", when she famously met Bogart and "taught him how to whistle."
With her smoldering gaze and deep, husky voice, she soon became a scorching-hot property both in Hollywood and on Broadway.
Bacall spent much of the rest of her life coming to terms with her early superstardom, which grew into a seven-decade screen and stage career.
Beginning in the Golden Age of Hollywood, it would include wartime dramas and film noir with Bogart, action movies with John Wayne, a romance picture with Gregory Peck and a comedy with Marilyn Monroe.
She cemented her sultry bombshell status in "To Have and Have Not," when she cooed to Harry 'Steve' Morgan, played by a smitten Bogart: "You know how to whistle, don't you Steve? You just put your lips together and blow."
The line gave her instant silver-screen immortality, and the American Film Institute pronounced it the 34th greatest movie quote of all time.
She was nominated for several Tony Awards for her work in theatre and was nominated for an Academy award for 'The Mirror has Two Faces.'
Bacall married screen legend, Humphrey Bogart, in 1945, in one of Hollywood's great love stories. Bogart died in 1957.
"He gave me a life and changed my life," she said in 2009.
She was also married to actor Jason Robards from 1961 to 1969. She had three children.
