68 years ago today, on January 14, 1957 (December 14, 1956 in the lunar calendar), American actor Humphrey Bogart passed away. Humphrey Bogart Humphrey Bogart was born on December 25, 1899 in New York, USA. He died in Los Angeles on January 14, 1957 of throat cancer. Other translation: Humphrey Bogart. Although Humphrey Bogart, who is known as a tough guy in the film industry, has starred in many masculine underworld action films and westerns, his two masterpieces that have left the deepest impression in the hearts of local fans belong to the artistic film genre. Humphrey Bogart's father was a famous surgeon in Manhattan, and his mother was a magazine painter. Although Bogart had good schoolwork when he was young and was admitted to Yale University's pre-school department and planned to study for medical school, he was expelled because of his impulsive personality and violated school rules. Soon, World War I provided another battlefield for Bogart to vent his energy. He joined the U.S. Navy and injured his upper lip during the battle, so when he later became an actor, his lips were tight and his conversation was a little slurred, which instead became his tough guy character.
