OCR: ABCDEFGHIJKLMNOPQRSTUVWXYZ Bogart, Humphrey Humphrey Bogart "Nobody, nobody likes me on sight," Humphrey Bogart once said. "There must be something about the tone of my voice, or this arrogant face - something that antagonizes everybody." But it was precisely that sardonic smile and cynical integrity that made him such a memorable actor. Famous for playing psychotic gangsters and laconic antiheroes, his most enduring roles included private detective Sam Spade in " The Maltese Falcon" (1941) and the tough U.S. expatriate in "Casablanca" (1943). In real life, Bogey was the son of a surgeon. After a stint in the navy, where a lip wound gave him his distinctive lisp, he played small stage roles until his breakthrough in Robert E. Sherwood's drama "The Petrified Forest" (1934). Over the next two decades Bogart made Humphrey Bogart, numerous classic films, including " The Big U.S. film star, 1899-1957 Sleep" (1946), in which he starred with his fourth wife Lauren Bacall, and "The Treasure of the Sierra Madre" (1948). Though a thorough professional, he couldn't wait to get off set to indulge in his favorite pastimes, drinking and chatting. CHRONOLOGY
