Lauren Bacall. Watch The Big Sleep. Written by William Faulkner. Starring Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall. No, for real, stop reading and watch the movie now. Then read the wikipedia entry and watch it again so you can understand the needlessly circuitous plot. What do you want, it's Faulkner. But try not to fall in love with Bacall when you watch it. I dare you. I defy you. 
Now don't forget, the "beautiful women from before we were born" segment is also soul crushingly depressing. Any "Sopranos" fans? Well, you might recognize this woman. No, thats not the eponymous villain from the Mummy franchise. Yep, it's Lauren Bacall. Gone from upstaging Bogey to getting rocked in the face by Christopher Moltisanti. Time makes fools of us all.
