Famous film actor Humphrey DeForest Bogart (Humphrey DeForest Bogart), named by the American Film Institute the best actor in the history of American cinema, was born on December 25, 1899. By the way, later doubts were expressed about this date, it was painfully like a publicity stunt.
So, he was born in New York, in a fairly wealthy family. His father had extensive medical practice, and his mother was an illustrator and sometimes earned much more than her husband. As a child, Bogart often posed for his mother, who loved to dress him as a little lord.
His parents tried to give Bogart a decent education, he was enrolled in the famous Philips Academy, and then expelled from there. The exact reason for the expulsion of the future actor from the walls of this noble educational institution is not known, they said that he pushed the headmaster into the pond, smoked and drank alcohol, and simply did not study.
In order not to waste time, in 1918, Bogart became a sailor of the US Navy, he had to serve on ships plying between Europe and America after the Compiègne Armistice.
Upon returning home, Bogart found his family's affairs upset. Before becoming an actor, he had to work as a loader and seller. The father of one of his friends was a theater producer, which helped the future star get a job at World Films. Here he tried to write, direct and produce, but these attempts were, to put it mildly, very unsuccessful. In 1921, he made his acting debut in the production of Drifting, followed by small roles in other plays. It is estimated that from 1922 to 1935 he played seventeen roles in various Broadway plays. These were usually episodic roles. From this series stands out his role as criminal Duke Manty in the production of “Possilized Forest”.
Bogart made his film debut in the short film Dancing City in 1928. In 1930, he appeared on the screen in John Ford’s film Up the River, and then had a supporting role in Bad Sister. Bogart got his first shot of cinematic popularity by playing his Duke Manty in the film adaptation of The Fossilized Forest. He is also known for his work in films.
"Roaring Twenties" "Stupid," "Angels with Dirty Faces,"
Black Legion" "The Return of Doctor X", "Defeat the Dark", "The Maltese Falcon", "Casablanca", "Treasures of the Sierra Madre", "Lightning" and
Implementing law” .
His first wife was actress Helen Mencken, the second was Mary Phillips. His third marriage was to actress Mayo Meto. But perhaps the happiest he was with Lauryn Bacall, who was 26 years younger than her husband.
Bogart died on January 14, 1957. /
