Humphrey Bogart

Born: 25 December 1899, New York City, New York, USA
Died: 14 January 1957, Los Angeles, California, USA
 
Humphrey Bogart was a supporting actor who steadily worked his way up to become a leading man in the 1940's and 1950's. There is some speculation about the accuracy of his date of birth, possibly being the result of a publicity push, although more recently it was confirmed that he was actually born on Christmas Day. 
 
Broadway's Like That (1930) as Ruth's Fiance (See Lost Films)
 
With Ruth Etting. This is a rare musical short made by Vitaphone. I got this screen shot from the documentary series Hollywood and the Stars, the first episode of which is called 'The Man Called Bogart'.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
According to the documentary 'Bacall on Bogart (1988)' the soundtrack to this film is lost.













 
 


Up the River (1930) as Steve Jordan



















A Devil with Women (1930) as Tom Standish

With Mona Maris. This is a difficult film to find and so this shot came from the documentary 'Bacall on Bogart (1988)'.

















Body and Soul (1931) as Jim Watson

Another hard to find film. This is a studio still with Humphrey Bogart on the left, with Charles Farrell in the middle and Don Dillaway on the right.
