Belated R.I.P. For "Baby"

I was away when I learned of the passing of Betty Joan Perske, a/k/a Lauren Bacall, so I was unable to post anything about it until now.  This YouTube video shows her in her screen debut, at age 19, opposite Humphrey Bogart, singing "How Little We Know" with Hoagy Carmichael on piano, from To Have And Have Not.
