“The pictures I have in my head from those early years are very clear to me: running down Beverly Drive in Beverly Hills, arms held wide, green three-quarters coat flying, toward Bogie waiting for me on the corner with James Gleason at four in the morning; Bogie walking up Highway 101 in espadrilles, huge sunflower in jacket lapel at six in the morning as I found him in my 1940 Plymouth — the headiest romance imaginable. The varied photos taken on the set of To Have and Have Not (image above) and The Big Sleep on the Warner Bros. lot — I know it’s me — so young — never visible. We just looked right together — always. Maybe I looked older and he looked younger. Whatever it was, it was most definitely the match made in heaven.”
– Lauren Bacall, By Myself and Then Some (2005)
