Lauren Bacall has had some strong opinions but I can't find any quotes by her about Marilyn what did she think of her as an actress and person?

Hi Wembleton,
In Bacall's autobiography "By Myself" Bacall talks of Monroe when they worked together on "How to Marry a Millionaire". Bacall said she liked Monroe as a person, but that she often grew irritated with Monroe for her chronic lateness on the set (I would be too - it sounds very irritating!) Hope this helps!
He won.
Get over it.

What do you think of Marilyn Monroe as an actress and person?
Why on earth do you care what Bacall thought of Monroe? And why didn't you do what anyone else with a PC would do, and Google their names?

___Although Lauren may have found some of Monroe's habits annoying, she said she could not find herself disliking Marilyn for them, for there was no "bitchiness in her actions". In other words Marilyn did not try and upstage her two lovely, but older co-stars, and whatever she did was not because of any ranchor between the trio on How To Marry A Millionaire. They seemed to run in some of the same circles, especially the men they dated, Frank Sinatra, but were not close again after the film and premier.
