I actually think in the future there could possibly be a biopic of her life. First of all because she's gone down as a screen legend and is so universally well known and cherished as a screen legend of the 1940's so it's safe to say many people would go see it, and secondly because she was so open about her personal drama and struggles that there is a lot to work with and a lot of information we know about her. It might be a little tricky deciding who might be a good Bacall because she was so famous for her voice and nobody has that voice when you really think about it. It was so unique. Kathleen Turner would have made a PERCECT Bacall in the 80's since at one point she looked and sounded just like Ms Bacall. However Turner is a little older now and it would be a little difficult. I think when it comes to appearance she could be played by Anne Hathaway, Kate Mara, Lizzy Caplan or even Jsssica Chastain could make a good Bacall, but sadly none of them have the voice.

Allsion Janney I have to say. I recently watched her in Bad Words and I have to say that in that movie she took after quite a lot Bacall. Indeed, Bcall was unique and but if I've to choose and actress I wouild choose Allison Janney.

Hate to say this one folks… but there’s already a Bogie-Bacall bio pic in the works.
It’s independent, so it won’t be a big thing…but it’s still there. The estate seems to have no knowledge or interest in promoting it either, which should make things interesting down the line if it was ever brought to their attention.
From the sounds of it, it seems as if the book is going to focus primarially on Bogart and Bacall’s love story.
Here’s the link to the facebook site:

Honestly, it would have to be an unknown or something. I can't think of anybody famous who looks like her. She was an original beauty
