Humphrey DeForest Bogart was born December 25th, 1899 in New York City. His father was a cardiopulmonary surgeon and his mother was a commercial illustrator who had studied with James Abbott McNeill Whistler. The affluent family divided their time between their apartment on the Upper West Side and a 55 acre cottage estate on Canandaigua Lake, but his parents were distant and formal, and their gruff, no-nonsense demeanor influenced Bogart’s acting choices from the very beginning. A sullen and disinterested student, he studied at private schools like Delancey, Trinity, and finally Phillips Academy, which he either dropped out of or failed out of depending on the campus legend, ending his parents plan to enroll him at Yale University. With no other prospects he joined the United States Navy in 1918, serving for one year and reaching the rank of Petty Officer 2nd Class. The experience also led him to oppose his family’s lifestyle, adopting liberal viewpoints and earning a reputation as a tough but fair-minded rebel, even while serving with the Coast Guard Reserve. In 1920 he worked as a stage manager while attempting to start a career in screenwriting, directing, and producing, all of which he soon discovered he had no knack for. A barroom brawl resulted in an injury to his lip which he loathed but ironically led him to acting work as it gave him a distinctive look and vocal inflection. He never took acting lessons, but appeared in 18 Broadway productions between 1922 and 1935. His marriage to actress Helen Menken in 1926 ended less than a year-and-a-half later. He married actress Mary Phillips in 1928, and although his theatrical career suffered along with everyone else due to the Great Depression he quickly found employment in motion pictures, signing a contract with the Fox Film Corporation in 1930. He became close friends and drinking buddies with Spencer Tracy, who gave him the nickname “Bogie.” The early 1930s were difficult as he traveled constantly back and forth between Hollywood and New York, eventually resulting in his divorce from Mary. He reconciled with his father before his death in 1934, vowing to pay off his debts, but he felt no security in his career until reprising his role from the Broadway hit The Petrified Forest in the film version in 1936, making him a household name overnight. He became famous for roles as cynical, charming, vulnerable loners with a strict code of honor, boosted by his personal distaste for pretension and his frank candor in interviews. He married Mayo Methot in 1938, but they fought constantly over her paranoia and his heavy drinking and smoking, divorcing in 1945. Despite his immense fame and likeability, particularly after critically lauded roles in The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep that became the template for detectives in noir films for years to come, he was nominated for an Academy Award for Best Actor only three times, winning just once for The African Queen in 1951. At the age of 44 he fell in love with his 19 year old co-star Lauren Bacall on the set of To Have and Have Not, and the two married in 1945, playing opposite each other in several more films and remaining together until his death from esophageal cancer after an unsuccessful surgery on January 14th, 1957. Never satisfied and convinced he was a failure throughout his life, four of the films he starred in are now ranked near the top of lists of all-time great American movies, particularly Casablanca, and in 1999 the American Film Institute selected Bogart as the greatest male star of classic Hollywood cinema.
