Bogart went on to star in such films as "Casablanca" in 1943, with leading lady Ingrid Bergman, and it earned him his first Oscar nomination. The next year, in 1944, he starred in the movie, "To Have and Have Not" with a young fashion model named Lauren Bacall. Bogart and Bacall's chemistry not only made the film a box office smash, but it ... ignited flames off-screen as well. Bogart ended up divorcing Mayo Methot on May 10, 1945, and he married Bacall eleven days later on May 21, 1945. The couple had two children during their marriage, a son named Stephen Humphrey, who was born in 1949, and a daughter named Leslie Howard, who was born in 1952.

Born in New York on 23 January 1899, although many people, including Bogart's fourth wife Lauren Bacall, romantically claim it was 25 December of the same year. The son of a surgeon and a magazine illustrator, Bogart became one of cinema's greatest ever stars despite a slight physical deformity, acquired in an accident while serving in the US Navy, which gave him a lisp and an unconventional, rigid delivery. He initially specialised in playing tough guys, but had the ability to reveal their hidden insecurities, and his roles grew more diverse as his career progressed. He won the Best Actor Academy Award for The African Queen. He died in 1957, although thanks to computer trickery he appeared on TV in 1988, in the horror series Tales From The Crypt.

When Lauren Bacall gave birth to a son, Stephen, Bogart became a father at 49. He'd had months to absorb the news, had even had his own baby shower. (Frank Sinatra had brought him baby rattles.) But Bogart still felt awkward about being a father. ("What do you do with a kid?" he asked a friend. "They don't drink.") Then they had their second child, Leslie.
