A song trivia to everyone: Im sure you know the song Vogue by Madonna . Many famous names in the 20th century where mentioned in this song, 16 on them, well they are all DEAD now. The song came out in March of 1990; Greta Garbo died just a month later. (James Dean, Marilyn Monroe, and others had already gone, of course.) Bacall, 24 years on, was the final one. Greta Garbo (April 15, 1990) Marilyn Monroe (Aug. 5, 1962) Marlene Dietrich (May 6, 1992) Joe DiMaggio (March 8, 1999) Marlon Brando (July 1, 2004) James Dean (Sept. 30, 1955) Grace Kelly (Sept. 14, 1982) Jean Harlow (June 7, 1937) Gene Kelly (Feb. 2, 1996) Fred Astaire (June 2, 1987) Ginger Rogers (April 25, 1995) Rita Hayworth (May 14, 1987) Lauren Bacall (Aug. 12, 2014) Katharine Hepburn (June 29, 2003) Lana Turner (June 29, 1995) Bette Davis (Oct. 6, 1989) The song was a tribute, of course, to a certain kind of old-fashioned glamour. With Bacall gone, that flame has just about burned out.
