The end of the "Hawksian woman"

To mark a retrospective of films featuring Lauren Bacall at the National Film Theatre (London) throughout January, the feminist writer and journalist Germaine Greer reflects on the secret of the actress' success and demise, contrasting her to Catherine Deneueve."Lauren Bacall's film career foundered in the 1950s, and never recovered. She has since played cameo parts and had considerable success on the stage. Meanwhile, Catherine Deneuve has been, as well as the face of the republic, the face of Chanel No 5, and most recently the face of cosmetics companies MAC and L'Oréal. The Hawksian [director Howard Hawks who first cast Bacall] woman was an idea that flourished at a time of crisis, in the depression and during the war, when the full energies of women were needed if they were to survive. After the war she was supplanted by the female eunuch, weighed down with huge hair and false eyelashes, unequal to any challenge - all things to all men and nothing to herself."
