Humphrey Bogart Trivia
|
- Was of English, Dutch and Spanish heritage.
- He had many famous visitors as he grew ill from cancer over the year before he died, including Katharine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy, George Cukor, Peter Ustinov, Billy Wilder and Kirk Douglas.
- Bogart's speech defect (lisping) does not appear in the German dubbings of his voice which is also lower.
- Off the set, he and Ingrid Bergman hardly spoke during the filming of Casablanca (1942). She said later, "I kissed him but I never knew him". Years later, after Ingrid Bergman had taken up with Italian director Roberto Rossellini, and borne him a child, he bawled her out for it. "You used to be a great star", he said. "What are you now?" "A happy woman", she replied.
- He had just turned 57 and weighed only 80 pounds when he died on January 14, 1957.
