Prot-a-gonist: I am not a has-been. I am a will be | Lauren Bacall, 1924-2014

“I am essentially a loner.”

“I am not a has-been. I am a will be.”

“I loved to dream about other worlds and other lives.”

“Find me a man who’s interesting enough to have dinner with and I’ll be happy.”

“I think your whole life shows in your face and you should be proud of that.”

I used to tremble from nerves so badly that the only way I could hold my head steady was
to lower my chin practically to my chest and look up at Bogie. That was the beginning of “The Look”.

“I’m not a sedentary person. I’ve always been active.”

“Looking at yourself in a mirror isn’t exactly a study of life.”

“Stardom isn’t a profession; it’s an accident.”

“Here is a test to find out whether your mission in life is complete. If you’re alive, it isn’t.”
