Hollywood legend Lauren Bacall dead at 89

Via TMZ: Lauren Bacall -- one of the leading ladies of the Golden Age of Hollywood -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.

A family member tells us Bacall had a massive stroke Tuesday morning at her home.

Bacall -- who famously starred with and married Humphrey Bogart -- starred in a slew of movies, including "The Mirror Has Two Faces," "How to Marry a Millionaire" and "Designing Woman."

One of Bacall's biggest movies was with Bogart -- "Key Largo" in 1948.

She married Bogart in 1945 and were together until his death.

Bacall found her successful "second act" on Broadway where she scored in the comedy “Cactus Flower” and then won two Tonys in musicals “Applause” and, later, “Woman of the Year.”

She was awarded an Honorary Oscar in 2009 at the age of 84.

She is survived by her two children by Bogart, Stephen and Leslie and her son by Jason Robards, actor Sam Robards.

I grew up on the Original Broadway cast recording of Becall's big hit APPLAUSE. It sounded so cool and modern in the 1970s. And my dear friend, Lee Roy Reams, was featured in the show in one of Broadway's first openly gay roles. Check out the scene (from a TV adaptation of the musical) when Bacall's character "Margo" ditches an opening night party for a night at a "gay disco."
