Film actress Lauren Bacall has died at the age of 89, the estate of the Bogart family announced Tuesday. 'With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall,' the estate said on a verified Twitter account.
In one of her last major screen roles, she was nominated for a best supporting actress Academy Award for The Mirror Has Two Faces, for which she won a 1996 Golden Globe.
She won an honorary Oscar in 2009 after a career that included starring roles in To Have and Have Not, The Big Sleep, and Key Largo.
Bacall was also a two-time Tony Award winner.
Bacall is survived by three children. She was predeceased in 1957 by actor Humphrey Bogart after 12 years of marriage. She was also married to actor Jason Robards (1961-1969).
