Biography
The quintessential tough guy, Humphrey Bogart remains one of Hollywood's
most enduring legends and one of the most beloved stars of all time.
While a major celebrity during his own lifetime, Bogart's appeal has
grown almost exponentially in the years following his death, and his
inimitable onscreen persona -- hard-bitten, cynical, and enigmatic --
continues to cast a monumental shadow over the motion picture landscape.
Sensitive yet masculine, cavalier yet heroic, his ambiguities and
contradictions combined to create a larger-than-life image which remains
the archetype of the contemporary antihero.
Humphrey DeForest Bogart was born December 25, 1899, in New York
City. Upon expulsion from Andover, Massachusetts' Phillips Academy, he
joined the U.S. Navy during World War I, serving as a ship's gunner.
While roughhousing on the vessel's wooden stairway, he tripped and fell,
a splinter becoming lodged in his upper lip; the result was a scar as
well as partial paralysis of the lip, resulting in the tight-set mouth
and lisp that became among his most distinctive onscreen qualities. (For
years his injuries were attributed to wounds suffered in battle,
although the splinter story is now more commonly accepted.)
After the war, Bogart returned to New York to accept a position on
Broadway as a theatrical manager; beginning in 1920, he also started
appearing onstage, but earned little notice within the performing
community. In the late '20s, Bogart followed a few actor friends who had
decided to relocate to Hollywood. He made his first film appearance
opposite Helen
Hayes in the 1928 short The Dancing Town, followed by the 1930
feature Up the River, which cast him as a hard-bitten prisoner. Warner
Bros. soon signed him to a 550-dollars-a-week contract, and over the
next five years he appeared in dozens of motion pictures, emerging as
the perfect heavy in films like 1936's The Petrified Forest, 1937's Dead
End, and
1939's The Roaring Twenties. The 1939 tearjerker Dark Victory, on the
other hand, offered Bogart the opportunity to break out of his gangster
stereotype, and he delivered with a strong performance indicative of his
true range and depth as a performer.
The year 1941 proved to be Bogart's breakthrough year, as his recent
success brought him to the attention of Raoul Walsh for the acclaimed
High Sierra. He was then recruited by first-time director John Huston,
who cast him in the adaptation of Dashiell Hammett's The Maltese
Falcon; as gumshoe Sam Spade, Bogart enjoyed one of his most legendary
roles, achieving true stardom and establishing the archetype for all
hardboiled heroes to follow. A year later he accepted a lead in Michael
Curtiz's romantic drama Casablanca. The end result was one of the
most beloved films in the Hollywood canon, garnering Bogart his first
Academy Award nomination as well as an Oscar win in the Best Picture
category.
Bogart then teamed with director Howard
Hawks for his 1944 adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's To Have and Have
Not, appearing for the first time opposite actress Lauren
Bacall. Their onscreen chemistry was electric, and by the time they
reunited two years later in Hawks' masterful film noir The Big Sleep,
they had also married in real life. Subsequent pairings in 1947's Dark
Passage
and 1948's Key
Largo cemented the Bogey and Bacall pairing as one of the screen's
most legendary romances. His other key relationship remained his
frequent collaboration with Huston, who helmed 1948's superb The
Treasure of the Sierra Madre. In Huston, Bogart found a director
sympathetic to his tough-as-nails persona who was also capable of
subverting that image. He often cast the actor against type, to stunning
effect; under Huston's sure hand, he won his lone Oscar in 1951's The
African Queen.
Bogart's other pivotal director of the period was Nicholas
Ray, who helmed 1949's Knock on
Any Door and 1950's brilliant In a Lonely
Place for the star's production company Santana. After reuniting
with Huston in 1953's Beat the Devil, Bogart mounted three wildly
different back-to-back 1954 efforts -- Joseph
L. Mankiewicz's tearful The Barefoot Contessa, Billy
Wilder's romantic comedy Sabrina, and Edward
Dmytryk's historical drama The Caine
Mutiny -- which revealed new, unseen dimensions to his talents. His
subsequent work was similarly diffuse, ranging in tone from the grim
1955 thriller The
Desperate Hours to the comedy We're No Angels. After completing the
1956 boxing drama The Harder They Fall, Bogart was forced to undergo
cancer surgery and died in his sleep on January 14, 1957. ~ Jason
