Born on Christmas day, 1899, in New York City, Humphrey Bogart went on to become one of the great leading men of American films in the 1940s and 1950s. Starting out on Broadway, Bogart eventually made the move to Hollywood where he was perennially cast as a gangster in myriad B movies. His breakout role, still as a hardened criminal, was in John Huston’s ‘High Sierra.’ This was followed by a solid performance as hardboiled detective Sam Spade in ‘The Maltese Falcon.’ By the time he starred in Casablanca (1942), Bogart was already an established lead actor.
Humphrey Bogart would go on to star in such classics as ‘The Big Sleep,’ ‘To Have and Have Not,’ ‘Dark Passage,’ ‘Key Largo,’ ‘The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,’ ‘The African Queen’ with Katharine Hepburn, ‘Sabrina’ with Audrey Hepburn, ‘The Caine Mutiny’ and ‘The Barefoot Contessa’ among countless other lesser-known films. Although he only won one Academy Award (he was nominated for two others) Bogart was ranked the number-one movie legend of all time by ‘Entertainment Weekly’ magazine. But what I think is most impressive about Humphrey DeForest Bogart is that he never changed his name.
