Lauren Bacall -- one of the leading ladies of the Golden Age of Hollywood -- is dead ... TMZ has learned.

A family member tells us Bacall had a massive stroke Tuesday morning at her home.

Bacall -- who famously stared with and married Humphrey Bogart -- starred in a slew of movies, including "The Mirror Has Two Faces," "How to Marry a Millionaire" and "Designing Woman."

One of Bacall's biggest movies was with Bogart -- "Key Largo" in 1948.

She married Bogart in 1945 and were together until his death in 1957.

Bacall married Jason Robards in 1961. They divorced in 1969.


Bacall had 3 children.

How incredibly sad. She was a wonderful, strong leading lady - a real "dame" in the best sense of the word.

How to Marry a Millionaire is one of my favorite movies of all time. She (and the others) were such fashion plates.

She was lovely even into her 80s.
 
Jean Cocteau wrote this as a tribute to Marlene Dietrich. I think it applies equally to Ms. Bacall, and nobody could have written anything better:
"In your voice we hear the voice of the Lorelei: in your look, the Lorelei turns to us. But the Lorelei was a danger, to be feared. You are not: because the secret of your beauty lies in the care of your loving kindness of the heart. This care of heart is what holds you higher than elegance, fashion or style, higher even than your fame, your courage, your bearing, your films, your songs.
Your beauty is its own poet, its own praise. There is no need for us to speak of it, and so I salute, not your beauty but your goodness. It shines in you, as light shines in the moving wave of the sea: a transparent wave coming out of the far distance, and carrying like a gift, its light, its voice, and the plumes of foam, to the shore where we stand."
