Bogey:
Humphrey Bogart in VHS & Print
At the age of 31, Manhattan-born stage actor Humphrey Bogart made his movie debut in 1930. Over the course of 75 films, he developed the image of the lonely, cynical anti-hero, an amoral outsider who lives by his own personal code. Bogart married Lauren Bacall when they met on the set of To Have and Have Not. He won his only Academy Award for The African Queen, although he was also nominated for Casablanca and The Caine Mutiny. Bogey died of cancer in 1957. To learn more about this screen icon, borrow Richard J.
