520 For countless millions, Humphrey Bogart?s screen
performances and real-life persona merged to make him one
of the world?s most fabled figures?a legend of mythic
proportions. Or, as his Sam Spade would have put it?the
stuff that dreams are made of. But for his only son,
Stephen, eight years old in 1957 when his father died of
lung cancer, Humphrey Bogart?s giant shadow was a burden
he carried until he finally came to understand the private
man behind his father?s public face. And now, in this
candid and insightful biography, Stephen Bogart explores
and illuminates Humphrey Bogart?s life, work, and
relationships as they never have been before. Writing with
the encouragement of his famous mother, Lauren Bacall,
Stephen calls on his memories, and take full advantage of
the extraordinary access he has had to friends and
colleagues of his father. The result is an intimate and
personal profile of an enigmatic man whose tough image
contrasted with very human ambitions and vulnerabilities.
It is also a vastly entertaining book, filled with
fascinating stories involving Frank Sinatra, Katharine
Hepburn,?Swifty? Lazar, John Huston, Stephen Bogart?s
stepfather, Jason Robards, and many others. Here is
Humphrey Bogart, the pro?s pro on the set and the
Hollywood renegade off it. The man?s man, the ladies? man,
the hard worker, and the man who liked to drink too much.
The husband in three roller-coaster marriages and finally
one perfect match, the proud father and absentee parent,
the good friend and even better enemy. Here are eye-
witness accounts of his most celebrated public misdeeds
and moving testimonies of his most unexpected private
moments. And finally, in perhaps the most compelling
chapter of this shining saga, here is the close-up of
Bogart?s last months, where his courage, dignity, and
humor made his most stirring celluloid roles seem pale.
Combining the drama of Humphrey Bogart?s life with that of
a son whose path of reconciliation first had to move
through a very difficult time, this is biography at its
best?at once a loving tribute and a fascinating
revelation. This ebook edition includes photographs
directly from Stephen Bogart's personal collection.
