Encore! Encore! - This month we're revisiting some of our favorite episodes from the last year. This week, a tribute to Humphrey Bogart.
Born in New York City on December 25, 1899, Bogart would have his breakout Hollywood hit in 1936 with The Petrified Forest, in which he reprised his role as gangster Duke Mantee from the broadway success from only two years prior. Bogart embodied the most iconic role of his career just a year later as Rick Blaine in Casablanca (1942). Casablanca won Best Picture, which pushed WB to finally bill Bogart higher than James Cagney, WB's golden boy for over a decade at the time, and would lead to Bogart becoming the highest paid actor in the world.
