Humphrey Bogart’s private life
Acclaimed by many as the greatest movie star of all time, Humphrey Bogart was born in New York on December 25, 1899. Bogart, whose surname comes from the Dutch and means “guardian of an orchard,” was born in one of the richest and most prominent places. His father, Belmont DeForest Bogart, was a highly respected and socially prominent heart surgeon. His mother, Maud Humphrey, was a renowned painter and artistic director of The Delineator, a women’s fashion magazine. The Bogarts had a summer retreat at Lake Canandaigua, one of the most beautiful in upstate New York, and it was there that Bogart spent his happiest days as a child. He spent summers in Canandaigua playing chess and sailing, life-long hobbies that occasionally obsessed him. Bogart attended the prestigious and social elite Trinity School in New York City, where he was a disinterested student.
Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart’s love
Lauren Bacall was born September 16, 1924 in New York City. She was the daughter of Natalie Weinstein-Bacal, a Romanian Jewish immigrant, and William Perske, who was born in New Jersey to Polish Jewish parents. Her family was middle class, her father worked as a salesman and her mother as a secretary. She studied at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts in New York after high school, which allowed her to soak up some productions off Broadway. She married Humphrey Bogart in 1945. After filming My Distrustful Wife (1957), which was released in 1957, Humphrey Bogart died on January 14 of throat cancer. Devastated by being a widow, Lauren returned to the silver screen with Shadow in Love (1958). The production turned out to be a great disappointment. Disappointed, Lauren returned to New York City and appeared in several Broadway plays with great critical acclaim. She enjoyed performing before the live audience and the audience in return enjoyed her excellent performances.
