“She was awkward. She couldn’t get out of her own way. She wasn’t disciplined, and she was often late but there was a sort of magic about her which we all recognized at once… Her phobias, or whatever they were, came later; she seemed just a carefree kid, and she owned the whole world.”
-Barbara Stanwyck

MAY 21, 1945: Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall are married

“As I glanced at Bogie, I saw tears streaming down his face - his ‘I do’ was strong and clear, though. As Judge Shettler said, ‘I now pronounce you man and wife,’ Bogie and I turned toward each other - he leaned to kiss me - I shyly turned my cheek - all those eyes watching made me very self-conscious. He said, ‘Hello, Baby.’ I hugged him and was reported to have said, ‘Oh, goody.’ Hard to believe, but maybe I did. Everyone hugged and kissed everyone else and more tears were shed. Bogie said it was when he heard the beautiful words of the ceremony and realized what they meant - what they should mean - that he cried.”
