1941JC11764Culver City California: The Highland Press 1941. Hardcover. Very Good. Cloth gilt-stamped lettering on upper board; 12mo; pp. 55 1. Inscribed by the author on the FFEP "To Lauren Bacall -- with compliments and every best wish from Shirley Carson Jenney." Shirley Carson Jenney d. 1953 American psychic and clairaudient medium produced several volumes which she claimed to have been communicated to her by the spirit of Percy Bysshe Shelley including this volume and one previous "The Great War-Cloud" 1938. Some light bumping at spine tips and along edges of boards. <br/><br/>Lauren Bacall born in the Bronx as Betty Joan Perske 1924-2014 was an American actress known for her distinctive voice and sultry looks. Howard Hawks director producer screenwriter changed her first name to Lauren and Perske adopted "Bacall" a variant of her mother's maiden name of Romanian Jewish descent as her screen surname. The young Lauren Bacall worked as an usher at the St. James Theatre and as a fashion model. She made her acting debut on Broadway in 1942 at age 17 as a walk-on in "Johnny 2x4." By then she lived with her mother on Bank Street Greenwich Village and in 1942 she was crowned Miss Greenwich Village. Though Diana Vreeland is often credited with "discovering" Bacall putting her on the cover of "Vogue" in 1943 much of the iconography surrounding Bacall she cultivated herself with the help of Nancy Hawks Howard Hawks's wife who advised Bacall on clothing elegance manners and taste. Even Bacall's trademark voice required arduous training -- at Hawks's suggestion Bacall worked with a voice coach to make her voice lower and deeper. Her screen debut as the leading lady in the Humphrey Bogart film "To Have and Have Not" 1944 made her an instant star. She married Bogart in 1945 and continued in the film noir genre alongside him in "The Big Sleep" 1946 "Dark Passage" 1947 and "Key Largo" 1948. She starred in the romantic comedies "How to Marry a Millionaire" 1953 with Marilyn Monroe and "Designing Woman" 1957 with Gregory Peck. She co-starred with John Wayne in his final film "The Shootist" 1976. Bacall worked on Broadway in musicals earning Tony Awards for "Applause" 1970 and "Woman of the Year" 1981.
