(CNN) -- Actress Lauren Bacall, the husky-voiced Hollywood icon known for her sultry sensuality, died Tuesday. She was 89.
Robbert de Klerk, co-managing partner of the Humphrey Bogart Estate, said Bacall died in New York.
Bacall shot to
international fame in 1944 with her first film, "To Have and Have Not,"
which she made with future husband Humphrey Bogart.
They married in 1945, had
two children and went on to make four more films together, including
"The Big Sleep" (1946), "Dark Passage" (1947) and "Key Largo" (1948).
Bogart died in 1957.
"He was an extraordinary,
extraordinary man. I mean, I've been extremely lucky. God, I have no
complaints at all," Bacall said of her late husband during a 2005
interview with CNN's Larry King.
Bacall's grandson said he got a call early Tuesday from his father.
"She apparently had a
stroke. A pretty massive stroke. That's what happened," said Jamie
Bogart, who last saw Bacall over the holidays.
