Howard Hawks' wife Nancy spotted her on a magazine cover and urged him to have her take a screen test. Hawks signed her up to a seven-year personal contract which paid $100 a week, brought her to Hollywood, began to manage her career and changed her name to Lauren Bacall. He then cast her in 1942s 'To Have and Have Not' opposite Humphrey Bogart. She next appeared opposite Charles Boyer in 'Confidential Agent' (1945), then appeared again with Bogart, whom she was married to from 1945 until his death in 1957, in the films 'The Big Sleep' (1946), 'Dark Passage' (1947) and 'Key Largo' (1948). In the 1950s, among films she was cast in were 'Bright Leaf' (1950), 'Young Man with a Horn' (1950), 'How to Marry a Millionaire' (1953), 'Blood Alley' (1955), 'The Gift of Love' (1958) and 'North West Frontier' (1959). She married to actor Jason Robards, Jr. in 1961, but divorced him in 1969, mainly because of his alcoholism. In the 1960s and 1970s, she was seen in only a handful of films, including 'Sex and the Single Girl' (1964), 'Harper' (1966) and 'Murder on the Orient Express' (1974), however on Broadway she starred in 'Goodbye, Charlie' (1959), 'Cactus Flower' (1965), 'Applause' (1970) and 'Woman of the Year' (1981), winning Tony Awards for her performances in the latter two. During the 1980s, she was cast in 'The Fan' (1981), and 'Appointment with Death' (1988) and in 1990, she had a role in 'Misery'. In 1997, she was nominated for a Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for her role in 'The Mirror Has Two Faces' (1996), her first nomination after a career span of more than fifty years, but she did not win the award. In 1938, she made her Broadway debut in the musical "Sing Out the News," a Rodgers and Hart musical. In 1940, she worked the chorus of the Ethel Merman musical "Panama Hattie" with up and coming actresses Betsy Blair, Lucille Bremer, Constance Dowling, and Vera Ellen. June was elevated to understudy of Betty Hutton, who was unable to perform due to illness. Junes performance impressed producer George Abbott, who gave her a part in his next Broadway musical "Best Foot Forward." During her performance she caught the eye of MGM executives who bought the rights to the production for later screen release. In 1943, June reprised her role in the film version of "Best Foot Forward." She was signed to an exclusive contract with MGM, and would appear in over forty films for the studio. She was a box-office attraction, paired with many of the major stars of the day, Gene Kelly, Van Johnson, and Jimmy Stewart.
