Humphrey Bogart, with his mackintosh and fedora hat, is the epitome of film noir. He is considered the greatest male star of American cinema. He met his great love in 1944.
Director Howard Hawks cast him that year for his feature film "To Have and Not to Have" (after the novel by Ernest Hemingway). He played the lead role alongside a youthful model from the fashion world who had made it onto the cover of "Harper's Bazaar" the year before: Lauren Bacall. The young woman had thus attracted the attention of director Hawks, who subsequently took her under his wing. The chemistry between 44-year-old Bogart and 19-year-old Lauren Bacall was right from the start. They fell in love and remained a legendary couple until Bogart's death.
