General Notes: Husband - William PERSKE
==========================================================================================

The only child of this marriage is Betty Persky, better known and well-loved by her
screen name - Lauren Bacall.

==========================================================================================
General Notes: Wife - Natalie WEINSTEIN
==========================================================================================

Many sources incorrectly give her maiden name as Natalie Bacal. I believe that was
probably her mother's family name. After her divorce from William, she took the name
Weinstein-Bacal. Lauren added the extra L, so it would be pronounced correctly.

==========================================================================================
General Notes: Child - Betty Joan PERSKE
==========================================================================================

   It was her work as a model, and in particular her appearance on a Harper's Bazaar
cover in 1943, that caught the eye of Nancy Hawks, wife of Howard Hawks, a powerful
Hollywood director. [Biography.com]
   Lauren first married Hunphrey Bogart and they were married until his death. She then
married Jason Robards. She and Humphrey had two children, she and Jason had one.
