I like her very much in her older black and white movies along with Bogie
some of my favourites with her are 'To Have And Have Not' (1944), 'The Big Sleep' (1946) and 'Written On The Wind' (1956)
her father was William Perske, and her mother Natalie Perske (Weinstein-Bacal was Natalies maiden name)
her parents divorced when Lauren was 5 years old (Natalie took the Bacal from her maiden name after the divorce)
later, Lauren added an 'l' to Bacal, and the 'Lauren' was a Hollywood addition

on 26. December 2000 her ex-husband, actor Jason Robards (* 26. July 1922) dies of cancer

has a son, Sam (* 16. December 1961), an actor with Jason Robards, Jr., and a daughter in law, Suzy Amis (* 05. January 1962), an actress, through her marriage with Robards
