Career: During the 1970s, Bates concentrated on New York stage work. Her first film was 1971's Taking Off, and she continued to work steadily on TV and in movies until her big break in 1990's Misery. She won an Oscar for her portrayal of a psychotic nurse in the production. Bates disrobed for the films At Play in the Fields of the Lord and About Schmidt (which also landed her an Oscar nomination), and won acclaim for Fried Green Tomatoes at the Whistle Stop Cafe and Primary Colors.

Career: Bacall's film debut made her an instant star, although her second movie, Confidential Agent (1945), was less well received. The Big Sleep (1946) reteamed her with Bogart, and they went on to make two more films together. Her habit of turning down substandard roles earned her a reputation for being difficult, but she did go on to feature in Young Man with a Horn (1950), How To Marry a Millionaire (1953) and Written on the Wind (1956). Bacall's movie career waned during the following decades, but she found success on Broadway in the plays Cactus Flower and Applause. She received her first Academy Award nomination in 1996 for The Mirror Has Two Faces. She received an honorary Academy Award in 2010. She died on August 12, 2014, at the age of 89.
