Bogart met Lauren Bacall while filming To Have and Have Not ( 1944 ), a loose adaptation of the Ernest Hemingway novel.

When they met, Bacall was nineteen and Bogart was forty-four.

Bogart was still miserably married and his early meetings with Bacall were discreet and brief, their separations bridged by ardent love letters.

Just months after wrapping the film, Bogart and Bacall were reunited for their second movie together, the film noir The Big Sleep, based on the novel by Raymond Chandler, again with script help from William Faulkner.

Bacall allowed Bogart lots of weekend time on his boat as she got seasick.

Lauren Bacall gave birth to Stephen Humphrey Bogart on January 6, 1949.

During the filming, while Bacall was home, Bogart resumed his discreet affair with Verita Peterson, his long-time studio assistant whom he took sailing and enjoyed drinking with.

Bogart and Bacall also worked together on an early color telecast, in 1955, an NBC adaptation of The Petrified Forest for Producers ' Showcase ; only a black and white kinescope of the live telecast has survived.

Walsh unofficially co-directed The Enforcer, with Humphrey Bogart and Zero Mostel, when director Bretaigne Windust fell ill at the beginning of shooting in 1951.

" From his father, Bogart inherited a tendency for needling people, a fondness for fishing, a lifelong love of boating, and an attraction to strong-willed women.

With no viable career options, Bogart followed his love for the sea and enlisted in the United States Navy in the spring of 1918.

Bogart was still torn between his new love and his sense of duty to his marriage.

For the first time, Bogart could be cast successfully as a tough, strong man and, at the same time, as a vulnerable love interest.

Bogart plays embittered writer Dixon Steele, who has a history of violence and becomes a suspect in a murder case at the same time that he falls in love with a failed actress, played by Gloria Grahame.

Huston's love of adventure, a chance to work with Hepburn, and Bogart's earlier successes with Huston convinced Bogart to leave the comfortable confines of Hollywood for a difficult shoot on location in the Belgian Congo in Africa.

Despite the discomfort of jumping from the boat into swamps, rivers and marshes the film apparently rekindled in Bogart his early love of boats and on his return to California from the Congo he bought a classic mahogany Hacker-Craft runabout which he kept until his death.

Much of Malone's early career was spent in supporting roles in B-movies, many of them Westerns, although on occasion she played small but memorable roles, such as the brainy, lusty, bespectacled bookstore clerk in The Big Sleep ( 1946 ) with Humphrey Bogart, and the love interest of Dean Martin in the musical-comedy Artists and Models ( 1955 ).

Her work in Cavalcade earned her a contract at Warner Bros. where she became a reliable supporting player, working with Paul Muni, Errol Flynn, Henry Fonda, Warren William, Leslie Howard, George Arliss, Humphrey Bogart, Boris Karloff and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr. Lindsay was cast four times as the love interest of James Cagney in Warner films from 1933-1935.

To incarnate the role ’ s “ intense, tragic face ”, Fellini ’ s first choice had been Humphrey Bogart but after learning of the actor ’ s lung cancer, chose Crawford after seeing his face on the theatrical poster of All the King ’ s Men ( 1949 ).

Bogart was born on Christmas Day, 1899 in New York City, the eldest child of Dr. Belmont DeForest Bogart ( July 1867, Watkins Glen, New York – September 8, 1934, Tudor City apartments, New York City ) and Maud Humphrey ( 1868 – 1940 ).

They hoped he would go on to Yale, but in 1918, Bogart was expelled.

Another version, which Bogart's long-time friend, author Nathaniel Benchley, claims is the truth, is that Bogart was injured while on assignment to take a naval prisoner to Portsmouth Naval Prison in Kittery, Maine.

An alternate explanation is in the process of uncuffing an inmate, Bogart was struck in the mouth when the inmate wielded one open, uncuffed bracelet while the other side was still on his wrist.

When actress Louise Brooks met Bogart in 1924, he had some scarred tissue on his upper lip, which Belmont Bogart may have partially repaired before Bogart went into films in 1930.

Bogart liked the late hours actors kept, and enjoyed the attention an actor got on stage.

Bogart was proud of his success, but the fact that it came from playing a gangster weighed on him.

Bogart disliked the roles chosen for him, but he worked steadily: between 1936 and 1940, Bogart averaged a movie every two months, sometimes even working on two simultaneously, as movies were not generally shot sequentially.

Bogart was gunned down on film repeatedly by Cagney and Edward G. Robinson, among others.

John Huston was reported to be easily bored during production, and admired Bogart ( who also got bored easily off camera ) not just for his acting talent but for his intense concentration on the set.

Bogart was nominated for the Best Actor in a Leading Role, but lost out to Paul Lukas for his performance in Watch on the Rhine.

The mood on the set was tense, the actors both emotionally exhausted as Bogart tried to find a way out of his dilemma.

The picture is a suspense thriller with Bogart intent on finding the real killer in a murder he was blamed for and sentenced to prison.

Robinson had always had top billing over Bogart in their previous films together but for this movie, Robinson's name appears to the right of Bogart's, but placed a little higher on the posters, and also in the film's opening credits, to indicate Robinson's near-equal status.

Robinson's image was also markedly larger and centered on the original poster, with Bogart relegated to the background.
