"There Is a Face That Is Different"
“Away out in California, Mrs. Howard Hawks thumbed through the pages of Harper’s Bazaar and was impressed by the wide mouthed, sultry-eyed Bacall face. “There,” she remarked to her preoccupied husband, “is a face that is different. I don’t know whether she can act, but she can certainly look at you.”
