Lauren Bacall, the legendary actress whose husky voice was a staple of Hollywood’s golden age, passed away Tuesday. Her career was wide-ranging and nuanced, with iconic moments on both the screen and the stage.

Her defining performance, though, was her first one. Bacall made her bright-eyed debut in 1944’s To Have and Have Not, which paired her with an aging Humphrey Bogart. Bacall was 20 at the time, a middle-class girl from the Bronx doing part-time modeling; Bogart was 44 and at the peak of his career. Their connection was immediate, their chemistry electric.
