'How many times you been caught with your hand where it doesn't belong?'

“Cinderella with a husky voice …”: sultry, smoky-eyed and ash blonde Lizabeth Scott (née Emma Matzo, 29 September 1922 - 31 January 2015) was born on this day 102 years ago. Possessor of a distinctive throaty voice described by John Kobal as sounding “as if it had been buried somewhere deep and was trying to claw its way out”, the underrated Scott was the most haunting and enigmatic of forties and fifties film noir actresses. (For many years, she was bedeviled by adverse comparisons to her doppelganger, the more famous Lauren Bacall). I’ve screened three of Scott’s films at the Lobotomy Room film club to date (Too Late for Tears (1949), Desert Fury (1947) and Pitfall (1948)) and it’s been gratifying to see audiences fall under her spell. I’d argue Scott is the last great “undiscovered” golden age Hollywood star (shamefully, The British Film Institute has never done a season of her films). Scott was famously reclusive in her later years, rarely granted interviews and her private life is shrouded in mystery. Author and filmmaker Todd Hughes’ 2022 memoir Lunch with Lizabeth – in which he affectionately recalls his friendship with the prickly and complicated Scott - does much to crack the enigma. Pictured: portrait of Scott from 1947.

“Lauren Bacall was the closest there has ever been to a female Humphrey Bogart – and a wonderful achievement it was.”

/ From The Illustrated Encyclopedia of The World’s Great Movie Stars by Ken Wlaschin, 1979 /

Born on this day 100 years ago: ineffably feline and insolent Siamese cat-in-human-form, smoky-eyed Golden Age Hollywood leading lady Lauren Bacall (née Betty Joan Perske, 16 September 1924 – 12 August 2014). Encyclopedia Britannica summarizes the imperious Bacall’s screen persona more succinctly than I ever could: “American actress known for her portrayals of provocative women who hid their soft core underneath a layer of hard-edged pragmatism.” (When I say “imperious”, that’s my diplomatic way of saying “notoriously temperamental and terrifying”. I love stories about what a scary diva Bacall was off-screen!). Of course, I venerate Bacall in the classic 1940s films noir she made with her husband Humphrey Bogart (To Have and Have Not (1944), The Big Sleep (1946), Dark Passage (1947) and Key Largo (1948)) and her great 1950s films like How to Marry a Millionaire (1953) and Written on the Wind (1956). To her eternal credit, rather than rest on her laurels Bacall made gutsy, adventurous film choices late in her career, opting to appear in Dogville (2003) by Lars von Trier, Birth (2004), Paul Schrader’s The Walker (2007) and playing herself on TV’s The Sopranos (2006). (And she was quoted as saying she dreamed of working with Pedro Almodovar). But hey, I’m perverse so my favourite Bacall performances are in Young Man with a Horn (1950) (as Kirk Douglas’ icily self-possessed lesbian socialite wife) and the schlocky exploitation films Shock Treatment (1964) - and The Fan (1981), which just happens to be the Lobotomy Room film club presentation at THIS Thursday night (19 September!). Email bookings@fontaines.bar to reserve a seat! And La Bacall’s 1980s High Point instant coffee commercials are camp sacred texts! Pictured: portrait of Bacall by Louise Dahl-Wolfe, 1957.
