Lauren Bacall has hit out at the current state of Hollywood, insisting modern movie stars are only interested in fame.
The How To Marry A Millionaire actress, who is considered part of Hollywood's golden age, blames tabloid culture for breeding an obsession with celebrities' lives rather than their careers.
And the 84 year old has no patience for reporters who only take an interest in the designer labels worn by the stars.
She says, "I love my profession. I have tremendous respect for it. What I don't have respect for is the red carpet and the celebrity scene.
"It's become a zoo. It's so stupid. They ask you stupid questions: 'What are you wearing?' Oh, Christ almighty!"
Bacall has enjoyed a career that has spanned over sixty years, making her breakthorugh in To Have and Have Not in 1944 alongside Humphrey Bogart, whom she went on to marry.
Although her works commitments have reduced in recent years she has appeared in Birth, Dogville and lent her voice to Howl's Moving Castle.
She is currently filming Caramel, which is due out next year.
