Under relentless emotional assault from her close yet fractured surroundings, she discovers solace by “playing the key,” which transports her into an epic, dreamlike world.

Born December 25, 1899 · New York City, New York, USA
Died January 14, 1957 · Los Angeles, California, USA (esophageal cancer)
Birth name Humphrey DeForest Bogart
Spouses Lauren Bacall (May 21, 1945 – January 14, 1957) (his death, 2 children) Mayo Methot (August 21, 1938 – May 10, 1945) (divorced) Mary Philips (April 3, 1928 – August 11, 1938) (divorced) Helen Menken (May 20, 1926 – November 18, 1927) (divorced)
QUOTES:
[on Lauren Bacall] “She’s a real Joe. You’ll fall in love with her like everybody else.”
[attributed last words] “I should never have switched from scotch to martinis.”
[on the House Un-American Activities Committee] “They’ll nail anyone who ever scratched his ass during the National Anthem.”
I came out here with one suit and everybody said I looked like a bum. Twenty years later Marlon Brando came out with only a sweatshirt and the town drooled over him. That shows how much Hollywood has progressed.
A hotdog at the ballpark is better than a steak at the Ritz.
When the heavy, full of crime and bitterness, grabs his wounds and talks about death and taxes in a husky voice, the audience is his and his alone.
[about himself] “Democrat in politics, Episcopalian by upbringing, dissenter by disposition.”
I can’t say I ever loved my mother, I admired her.
I don’t approve of the John Waynes and the Gary Coopers saying ‘Shucks, I ain’t no actor — I’m just a bridge builder or a gas station attendant.’ If they aren’t actors, what the hell are they getting paid for? I have respect for my profession. I worked hard at it.
Born December 25, 1978 · Boston, Massachusetts, USA
Spouse Emma Wall (August 1, 2016 – present) (3 children)
[on transitioning from stage to television] Most of my heroes had started out in the theater, so I was always doing plays, and I think initially it was just an escape and also a transcendent freedom that I discovered on the stage that I didn’t feel anywhere else in my life. The transition into film took longer than I wanted, but I am grateful for the years of hardship that I went through because they allowed me to connect with characters, in terms of adversity, in a way that I wouldn’t have otherwise if things had happened more easily for me.
I like my name, but I do share it with a lot of dogs and cats.
Basically, less is more when it comes to film.
I don’t think acting’s difficult. It’s not like learning to walk on your hands.
It takes one heck of a lot of energy to be an actor-director – a rather terrifying prospect but a challenge I would definitely relish in the future, given the chance.
People on sets can be unbearably wasteful in general.
My name is synonymous with corsets and ringlets.
It’s good for an actor to have, well, a big gob.
Following America’s lead, I think British TV is fantastic.
