Lauren Bacall, the longtime Oscar-winning actress, has died, according to a reports on Tuesday.
She was 89 when she passed, TMZ reported. The wesbite cited family members as its source of information.
Later, the Humphrey Bogart estate tweeted: “With deep sorrow, yet with great gratitude for her amazing life, we confirm the passing of Lauren Bacall.”
TMZ said she died on Tuesday morning in her home.
The death was first reported on by MSNBC's Thomas Roberts on Tuesday night via his Twitter account.
Bacall is best known for her roles in “Key Largo,” “The Mirror Has Two Faces,” “Designing Woman,” and “To Have and Have.”
Bacall was also married to Humphrey Bogart from 1945 to 1957, when he died. She later married Jason Robards in 1961 before getting a divorce in 1998.
Roberts or TMZ did not any other details about her death. “BREAKING NEWS – actress Lauren Bacall passes away at the age of 89 according to my source who is connected with friends & family,” Roberts wrote on Twitter.
She leaves behind three children.
Some people were tweeting a Media Mass link, which says Lauren Bacall isn’t dead and the whole thing is a hoax. However, Media Mass is a “satire” website, according to its disclaimer.
“The website mediamass.net is the medium of our satire to expose with humour, exaggeration and ridicule the contemporary mass production and mass consumption that we observe,” it says.
It adds: “The ‘People’ section is a humorous parody of Gossip magazines, all stories are obviously not true,” which includes the death hoax stories.
All the “death hoax” articles on Media Mass are generated through a template and are likely several months to several years old.
When Paul Walker died last year, a bogus Media Mass Report about him not dying also went viral.
