Veteran actress Lauren Bacall has said that today's actresses are skinny, talentless, money-obsessed and can sacrifice everything for fame.

"Today, women with minuscule talent are willing to sacrifice everything for their careers. Actors today go into TV, which I don't consider has a lot to do with acting. They only think of stardom. If you photograph well, that's enough," Contact music.com quoted Bacall as saying.

The 80-year-old ‘Birth' star said that she's glad she put her movie career on hold to marry actor Humphrey Bogart, because for her generation family and happiness was more important.

"I put my career in second place throughout both my marriages and it suffered. I don't regret it. You make choices," she said, adding, "We live in an age of mediocrity. Stars today are not the same stature as Bogie, Jimmy Cagney, Spencer Tracy, Henry Fonda and Jimmy Stewart."
