Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. When and where was Humphrey Bogart born?

Answer: December 25, 1899 in New York, NY

There has always been controversy about Bogart's birth. Various sources have reported that Warner Brothers changed his birthday to Christmas to romanticize his background, but a birth notice in a New York paper confirms that indeed he was born on December 25, 1899.
2. Before his marriage to Lauren Bacall, who was 26 years his junior, he had been married 3 times. Which of these women was one of his wives?

Answer: Mayo Methot in 1938

Bogart was still married to Mayo Methot when he met Lauren Bacall on the set of "To Have and Have Not" in 1945. Mayo, who had always been insanely jealous of Bogart's leading ladies, had reason to be this time. Bacall was the first of Bogart's co-stars to become actively involved in an affair with him and they were married in May 1945 after his divorce from Methot became final.
3. Bogart's mother, Maud Humphrey, was a very successful commercial illustrator. She used baby Humphrey as her model in a well-known ad campaign for a baby product. Which one of these was the product?

Answer: Baby food

The Bogarts were very well off. Maud made over $50,000 a year (a fortune in those days!) and his father, Belmont, was a surgeon specializing in heart and lungs.
4. How did Bogart get his trademark scar?

Answer: The result of a childhood accident

The report about the shelling of his ship is the least likely to be true, since it is probable that Bogart didn't make it to sea until after the armistice was signed. The report about his father having caused the injury comes from Darwin Porter's book "Humphrey Bogart: The Early Years". Bogart's good friend, David Niven, said Humphrey told him the scar was a result of a childhood accident and the studio had made up the war stories.
5. Who was the first person to call him "Bogey"?

Answer: Spencer Tracy

Bogart and Tracy were good friends. They appeared in one film together in 1930 -John Ford's early sound film "Up the River". Their friendship continued throughout their careers and it was reported by Katherine Hepburn that during Bogart's final illness when she and Tracy went to see him, Spencer patted him on the shoulder as they were leaving and said "Goodnight Bogie" and Bogart replied "Goodbye Spence". Bogart died the following day.
6. Bogart was nominated for three best actor Oscars. For which film did he win the Oscar for Best Actor?

Answer: "The African Queen" (1951)

The nominations were for "Casablanca" and "The Caine Mutiny" (as well as "The African Queen" - the one he won.) He was not nominated for "To Have and Have Not".
7. The name of the captain portrayed by Bogart in "The Caine Mutiny" (1954) was _________ .

Answer: Queeg

Duke Mantee was the character Bogart portrayed in "The Petrified Forest" (1936). Charlie Allnutt was his Oscar winning role in "The African Queen" (1951) and Fred C. Dobbs was his character's name in "The Treasure of Sierra Madre" (1948).
8. Besides acting, Bogart excelled in another area. He told an interviewer from "Silver Screen" magazine that this activity was one of his main interests. Which was it?

Answer: Chess

Bogart was an excellent chess player. He was a tournament director for the United Chess Federation and a frequent visitor to the Hollywood Chess Club.
9. Bogart did very little work on television but he did appear in a comedy sketch in a famous early comedian's network show. Whose show was it?

Answer: Jack Benny

Bogart resisted television. Other than his appearance with Jack Benny it seems his only television engagement was on Edward R. Murrows "Person to Person" where he was interviewed with Lauren Bacall.
10. What was Bogart's last movie?

Answer: "The Harder They Fall" (1956)

Bogart had completed "The Harder They Fall" (1956) and was in the planning stage of "Melville Goodwin, USA" when he was diagnosed with cancer of the esophagus in January of 1956. Surgery and chemotherapy were unable to arrest the progress of the disease and by November of 1956 he was too weak to go up and down stairs. He passed way on January 14, 1957 at the age of 57.
