Betty Joan Perske, Sept. 16, 1924, Brooklyn; her parents were divorced when she was 6 years old, and her mother adopted the second half of her maiden name, Weinstein-Bacal; from then until her move to Hollywood, she was known as Betty Bacal; she added an "l" to her name because, she said, the single "l" caused "too much irregularity of pronunciation"; the name Lauren was given her by Howard Hawks before the release of her first film, but family and old friends called her Betty throughout her life; d. Tuesday [Aug. 12, 2014], New York, aged 89; actress whose provocative glamour elevated her to stardom in Hollywood's golden age and whose lasting mystique put her on a plateau in American culture that few stars reach; appeared in motion pictures and on stage)
