The Bogart-Bacall Syndrome

What happens when you speak lower than your vocal comfort zone for continuous periods of time?

You might adopt that Hollywood sound Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were famous for, but you may get more than just the sound… you might get the syndrome!

On aish.com it says: “In his newest movie, “Diamonds,” Michael Douglas stars as a former boxing champion who, in his twilight years, is a widower recovering from a stroke. The movie’s title is inspired by its plot, where his character teams up with his son and grandson to recover some diamonds they suspect were stolen from him. It also stars Dan Ackroyd and Lauren Bacall.”

Lauren Bacall was born Betty Joan Perske on September 16, 1924, the only child of William and Natalie (Weinstein-Bacal) Perske. Her father was a salesman from Alsace; her mother, the daughter of German-Rumanian immigrants, worked as an executive secretary. After they were divorced, her mother took the “Bacal” part of her maiden name. (Later, Bacall added another “l”, and “Lauren” was a Hollywood addition.)
