Reactions to Lauren Bacall's Death

They don't make them like they used to, at least not in the case of Lauren Bacall. So when news broke last night that the screen legend had passed away at 89 at her home in Manhattan's Upper West Side, the responses instantly began pouring across Instagram and Twitter — hey, a strong reaction for a strong lady. Known for her brassy voice and an attitude to match, the onetime model has influenced decades of women with her blazers, high-neck blouses, and affinity for pearls from the 1950s and beyond. How influential was she? Here's how:

The deep part. Baggy trousers. The timbre of a trucker. Teaching a man to whistle. She changed the feminine ideal of sexy: RIP Lauren Bacall

I grew up on Lauren Bacall movies. As a kid, I thought she was my aunt & at @ELLEmagazine, I got to work with her. I ❤️ that voice. RIP
