Humphrey Bogart: African Queen
built 614 days ago
Following the success of The African Queen, Bogart starred in several other notable movies, including Sabrina, Beat the Devil and The Caine Mutiny. Unfortunately, in 1957, his amazing career was cut short. Despite undergoing radical surgery to remove a cancerous growth around Bogart's esophagus, the disease continued to spread. He put up a valiant fight, but in the early morning hours of Monday, January 14, Bogart lost his battle with cancer.

While never noted as a comedian, Bogart was supremely funny inAll Through the Night (1942),Sabrina (1954), andWe're No Angels (1955), as well asThe African Queen (1951, opposite Katharine Hepburn), in his Oscar-winning performance as boozy riverboat skipper Charlie Allnut. A lifelong smoker, he succumbed to throat cancer in 1957. Though well respected in his lifetime, Bogart didn't attain cult status until his films were rediscovered by younger viewers in the late 1960s: His blunt, no-nonsense, cynical and world-weary manner translated into a pop-culture existentialism that spoke volumes to the alienated youth of that turbulent era, and though the antiestablishment fervor has cooled, he remains arguably the most popular male star of Hollywood's Golden Age.

Around 1951, Bogart starred in the film The African Queen, with Katharine Hepburn, and again directed by his friend John Huston. It was a difficult shoot, on location in Africa. One day the boat The African Queen sunk.
