| Notes |
- He was an American film and stage actor. His performances in numerous fi l ms from the Classical Hollywood era made him a cultural icon. In 1999 , th e American Film Institute ranked him as the greatest male star of Am erica n cinema. Bogart began acting in Broadway shows after World War I . Afte r the Wall Street Crash of 1929, he began working in films, mostl y playin g gangsters.
Bogart was born on Christmas Day 1899 in New York City, the eldest chi l d of Belmont DeForest Bogart (1867–1934) and Maud Humphrey (1868–1940) . B elmont was the only child of the unhappy marriage of Adam Watkins Bog art , a Canandaigua, New York innkeeper, and his wife, Julia, a wealthy h eire ss. The name "Bogart" derives from the Dutch surname "Bogaert". Belm ont a nd Maud married in June 1898; he was a Presbyterian, of English an d Dutc h descent, and she was an Episcopalian of English heritage, an d a descend ant of Mayflower passenger John Howland. Young Humphrey was r aised in th e Episcopal faith, but was non-practicing for most of his adu lt life .
Bogart's father, Belmont, was a cardiopulmonary surgeon. His mother, Mau d , was a commercial illustrator who received her art training in New Yo r k and France, including study with James Abbott McNeill Whistler. Late r , she became art director of the fashion magazine The Delineator an d a mi litant suffragette. She used a drawing of baby Humphrey in a well- known a dvertising campaign for Mellins Baby Food. In her prime, she mad e over $5 0,000 a year, then a vast sum and far more than her husband's $ 20,000. Th e Bogarts lived in a fashionable Upper West Side apartment, an d had an el egant cottage on a 55-acre estate on Canandaigua Lake in upst ate New York . As a youngster, Humphrey's gang of friends at the lake wou ld put on the atricals.
Bogart had two younger sisters, Frances ("Pat") and Catherine Elizabet h ( "Kay"). His parents were busy in their careers and frequently fought . Ver y formal, they showed little emotion towards their children. Maud t old he r offspring to call her "Maud" not "Mother", and showed little i f any phy sical affection for them. When pleased she "[c]lapped you on th e shoulder , almost the way a man does", Bogart recalled. "I was brough t up very uns entimentally but very straightforwardly. A kiss, in our fam ily, was an ev ent. Our mother and father didn't glug over my two sister s and me.
As a boy, Bogart was teased for his curls, tidiness, the "cute" pictur e s his mother had him pose for, the Little Lord Fauntleroy clothes she d re ssed him in, and even for the name "Humphrey". From his father, Bogar t in herited a tendency to needle, fondness for fishing, lifelong love o f boat ing, and an attraction to strong-willed women.
== Family ==
Bogie became a father for the first time at age 49 when Lauren Bacall ga v e birth to their son Stephen H. Bogart on January 6, 1949. Bogart and B ac all’s son, Stephen was named after Bogart’s character in "To Have an d Hav e Not".
Bogie became a father for the second time at age 52 when Lauren Bacall g a ve birth to their daughter Leslie Bogart on August 23, 1952. His daught er , Leslie, was named after his friend and "The Petrified Forest" co-sta r , Leslie Howard. Bogart never forgot that Leslie Howard secured him hi s f irst big break in show biz by insisting that Bogie get the role of "D uk e Mantee" over Edward G. Robinson in the film version of "The Petrifie d F orest" which was released in 1939. He named his daughter "Leslie Howa rd B ogart" as a show of his gratitude to Leslie Howard.
Although he rarely participated in celebrity tournaments, Bogart was o n e of Hollywood’s better golfers.
'''Military and Broadway'''
The Bogarts sent their son to the Trinity School in New York and the n t o the prestigious prep school Phillips Academy, in Andover, Massachus etts . They hoped he would go on to Yale In May of 1918, Bogart was expel led f rom Phillips Academy, apparently for smoking, his erratic study hab its, h is low grades and intemperate personality, especially authority fi gures . The Bogarts had hoped that Bogie would further his education a t Yale i n pursuit of becoming a medical doctor like his father. However , he faile d to meet the school's high standards and was expelled.
After being expelled from Phillips Academy, Bogart enlisted in the Unit e d States Naval Reserve. In 1918, he was called to active service whic h wa s mostly routine, other than receiving a prominent scar that reporte dly c ame from when he was given the task to escort a prisoner, who appar entl y slipped out of his grasp long enough to deck him. It is not know n if th is is how Bogie got the prominent scar on his lip as there is a c onflicti ng tale of how that occurred. But, this made for the best story.
Bogart was honorably discharged from the Navy in 1919 and began to sear c h for a career that would interest him.
Bogart's father was friends with Broadway and film producer William A. B r ady and the families lived near each other in New York City. It was thr ou gh Brady and his daughter, the stage actress Alice Brady, that Bogar t go t his first acting job on Broadway. Bogart was given a job as the co mpan y manger of a touring production of "The Ruined Lady". He even work ed fo r awhile as a manager of William A. Brady's film studio, World Film s.
He had never taken acting lessons, and had no formal training. Early rev i ewers of Bogart's acting skills kindly called them "inadequate". Boga r t loathed the trivial roles he had to play early in his career. Bogar t wa s in a total of 21 Broadway productions between 1922 and 1935. He ca lle d them "White Pants Willie" roles although it is not known what tha t mean t. It may have been a reference to the Disney character, Steamboa t Willie , who premiered in 1928. After all, Bogie was a naval seaman an d a lifelo ng sailing enthusiast.
'''Hollywood and Relationships'''
For more than a dozen years he struggled with small roles on the stage w h ile trying to make it big in Hollywood. It was during this time that h e m arried his first wife. Humphrey and actress Helen Menken were marrie d o n May 20, 1926 and divorced within a year. On April 13, 1928 he marri ed a gain to actress Mary Philips.
He was able to land some parts in a few movies, but didn't get a break u n til 1934. He played an escaped killer in the play "The Petrified Forest " . His portrayal was so convincing that the audience reportedly let o u t a gasp of horror the first time he walked on stage. This led to a fi l m of the same play, where he became the go-to performer for criminals a n d gangsters over the next several years. Unfortunately, his newfound su cc ess was difficult on his married life, and he and Mary divorced aroun d 19 38. In that same year, he remarried to Mayo Methot .
However, being typecast as a villain was limiting to his career, and h e s ought a way out. He found it with the role of Sam Spade in "The Malte se F alcon". This movie turned out to provide him with a new boost to hi s care er, which propelled him into the leading role in "Casablanca". "Ca sablanc a" won three Academy Awards (Best Picture, Best Screenplay, Bes t Director ) and is now ranked among the greatest films of all time. Tw o one of th e most quotable films of all time come from "Casablanca". Th e character R ick Blaine's uttering of "Here's look at you, kid" and th e ending quote o f the unforgettable words, spoken by Bogart, "I think th is is the beginni ng of a beautiful friendship."
As his career took off and he became one of Hollywood's most popular act o rs, his marriage to Mayo continued to deteriorate. They had a reputati o n throughout Hollywood as fiery and by 1945, it was over. But two week s a fter his divorce, he married Betty Perske ''a/k/a'' Lauren Bacall an d the y would remain together until his death. They had two children toge ther , a son Stephen (1949) and a daughter Leslie (1952).
His landmark year was 1941 with roles in classics such as "High Sierra ( 1 941) and as Sam Spade in one of his most fondly remembered films, "Th e Ma ltese Falcon" (1941). These were followed by "Casablanca" (1942), "T he Bi g Sleep" (1946), and "Key Largo" (1948) .
Almost all of the roles that made him a star were obtained at the expen s e of George Raft. Raft turned down several roles starting with "High Si er ra" (1941), in which Bogie was first became a viable box office draw . Raf t's poor choices not to take some truly great roles in parts late r goin g to Bogart continued through his role as "Rick Blaine" in "Casabl anca" ( 1942), which made him a truly international star.
Bogart continued on to a long and distinguished Hollywood career that in c luded over 80 films. His most celebrated performance after "Casablanca " c ame in the 1951 film "The African Queen", in which he co-starred wit h Kat harine Hepburn and for which he won his first and only Academy Awar d fo r Best Actor. His most notable later films included "The Caine Mutin y" (1 954), "Sabrina" (1954) and "The Harder They Fall" (1956).
Bogie and Bacall purchased a $160,000 white brick mansion in Holmby Hill s , an exclusive neighborhood between Beverly Hills and Bel Air. Bogart a n d Bacall had two Jaguar cars, three blooded boxer dogs together with a n a ssortment of chickens and other animals .
Bogie and Bacall then loosely organized a group of actors and friends th a t enjoyed drinking heavily in Hollywood. They referred to themselves a s " The Holmby Hills Rat Pack". The Rat Pack name originated one morning , aft er a night of heavy boozing, when Bogart's wife Lauren Bacall cam e upon t he sodden group and flatly stated, "You look like a God-damned r at pack. " Bogart enjoyed the term, and a legend was born .
Sinatra and his "The Clan" carried on the tradition. But, Sinatra stopp e d using the "Rat Pack" name after Bogie died in 1957 .
As a heavy smoker and drinker, Bogart developed esophageal cancer. He h a d just turned 57 twenty days prior to death and weighed only 80 pounds . H is simple funeral was held at All Saints Episcopal Church.
