Goddess of the Golden Age Lauren "You know how to whistle, don't you?" Bacall doesn't tweet much but she's still one of my fave celebs on Twitter (@lauren_bacall). She's classy to the point where I feel like an unkempt slob every time she unleashes her 140-character or less wit.

Recently, she tweeted some thoughts on the Academy Awards — she received an honorary Oscar at a previously held ceremony and she's a member of the Academy.
