| Biography (TMDB): | Gladys George was an American actress. George went on the stage at the age of 3 and toured the United States, appearing with her parents. She starred on stage in the 1920s, although she had made several films in the early part of that decade. She starred in Personal Appearance, a comedy by Lawrence Riley. This role was reprised by Mae West in the classic film, Go West, Young Man, which West adapted from the play. In 1936 George was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actress for Valiant Is the Word for Carrie. George's Broadway credits include The Distant City, Lady in Waiting, and The Betrothal. Her only other first billed roles were in Madame X (1937) and Love is a Headache.[6] She also appeared in The Roaring Twenties (1939), The Way of All Flesh (1940), The Best Years of Our Lives (1946) and He Ran All the Way (1951). She played the widow of Miles Archer (Iva Archer) in The Maltese Falcon and Mme. Du Barry in Marie Antoinette. Her last successful roles were as Lute Mae Sanders in Flamingo Road, her brief appearance as the corrupt nurse Miss Hatch in Detective Story, and Lullaby of Broadway as the alcoholic mother of Doris Day's wholesome character.

Bacall expertly rolls a cigarette and lights it, exhaling initially through her mouth, then her nostrils. As the first machine-manufactured cigarettes roll off the production line, she lights up, inhales an enthusiastic double-pump, and exhales with a smile of sheer delight. She then double-pumps again, running her tongue over her lips in appreciation as she expels the smoke from her lungs. She knows her tobacco too: she asks for a cigarette, lights it from a candle, double-pumps, exhaling first from her mouth, then her nostrils, before rejecting it, with smoke still clinging to her breath, as being of poor quality. Very short scenes, but demonstrative of Bacall's personal love-affair with cigarettes. George takes three puffs on a cigar. |

smokes twice. Once in a bar with 2 deep enhales, and french exhales. The second at a family reunion with 2 other unknowns, one inhale and a nostril exhale. The smoking is convincing and she looked IRL. Smoked Marlboro Reds in flip-top box's. |
The Hard Way

There was a scene where she smoked in a bar that was unbelieveable. They backlit her and she nose-exhaled smoke continuously for many many breaths. It was amazing to watch |
