Humphrey Bogart: The Making of a Legend

Author(s): Darwin Porter

Film & Tv

Except for what's within this book, very little is known about how Humphrey Bogart clawed his way from Broadway to Hollywood during the Jazz Age and Prohibition. Based on dusty unpublished memoirs, letters, diaries, and personal interviews, this unapologetic expose lays Bogie's life bare in a style you've come to expect from Darwin Porter. Juicy details include what Bogie never told Lauren Bacall-a legend in her own right-about the years between his birth in 1899 till his fourth and final marriage in 1944.
