1957 - Humphrey DeForest Bogart wasn't an ordinary actor. With his on-screen debut in The Petrified Forest, he quickly became one of the most legendary American actors. Sadly, the man with the recognizable appearance; raincoat, hat, cigarette in his hand and an undeniably thick American accent, passed away on the 14th of January in 1957, caused by the cancer he struggled with. Yet, as they say, his fame outlived him.
To the screen
In 1999, he was chosen by the American Film Institute as the greatest male star of Classic American cinema. But it was a wobbly ride getting there. Young Humphrey was allowed to go to the highly regarded Phillips Academy, but was expelled for unconfirmed reasons. One of the suspicions is that Humphrey threw the headmaster into a pond on the school premises. Whatever was the case, he made his way into the theatre and onto the movie screen.
Film noir
Humphrey's success kept on growing and he had amazing roles in iconic movies like Casablanca and The Maltese Falcon. He got great lines, some of which are still seen as the best in movie history. A few examples are: ''The stuff that dreams are made of'' and ''We'll always have Paris''. Despite his early decease, he acted in many movies and people keep on gladly admiring his work.
360 trivial fact
