3. In which profession did Humphrey Bogart's father, Belmont, work?

Answer: He was a surgeon.

Humphrey Bogart's father was a relatively successful cardiac and pulmonary surgeon, even though he was eclipsed by the prominence of his wife, Maud, who happened to be an accomplished illustrator.

Answer: The "Rat Pack"

Humphrey Bogart was one of the original members of the 1940-50s Rat Pack, which also included Errol Flynn and Nat King Cole. It was a very exclusive group of supremely popular entertainers. Contrary to popular belief, the group was not exclusive to males, as Judy Garland was a very influential member. The entertainers listed in the question were members of the 1960s Rat Pack.

5. Is it true that Humphrey Bogart was born on the fourth of July?

Answer: No

There is some speculation as to the true birth date of Humphrey Bogart. In many sources, he is cited as having been born on Christmas Day. It has been suggested that Warner publicity changed the date of Bogart's birthday in order to generate sympathy for his character portrayals. Even so, according to census data, Bogart's birthday is recorded to be December 25th, 1899.

6. Is it true that Humphrey Bogart excelled in his studies and graduated summa cum laude from Yale University?

Answer: No

Bogart was apparently not interested in academics and subsequently did not graduate. There are various stories surrounding his departure from school, one of which depicts his campus antics involving hurling his headmaster into a campus lake, for which he was presumably expelled.

A less interesting version details his withdrawal from school by his father based on Humphrey's academic indifference.

7. In one of Bogart's most brilliant films, he portrays the aging Lieutenant Commander Philip Francis Queeg. Which film is it?

Answer: "The Caine Mutiny"

Humphrey Bogart is simply exquisite as the commander of an old minesweeper. It's his mission as Commander Queeg to reintroduce some semblance of discipline aboard this ship. He says, "There are four ways of doing things: the right way, the wrong way, the Navy way, and my way. If they do things my way, we'll get along."

Answer: "The African Queen"

Bogart blends well with co-star Katherine Hepburn in this engaging tale of a trip down an African river to freedom. Surprisingly, this was the only Oscar that Bogart won.

9. One of Bogart's favorite places to dine was Romanoff's, located in Beverly Hills. Which item did Bogie order on a regular basis?

Answer: ham and eggs

Bogart liked to frequent Romanoff's restaurant on Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills. He would invariably order ham and eggs. Bogart had his own booth, in which, no one else was allowed to sit.

Answer: "Casablanca"

Bogart represents the epitome of nobility in the classic film, "Casablanca." He sacrifices his own happiness for his past romance. Ostensibly, Rick Blaine is callous and cynical, however, he reveals himself to be a true romantic. He persuades Ilsa (Ingrid Berman) to depart on the plane with her husband.

He tells her, "If that plane leaves the ground and you're not with him, you'll regret it. Maybe not today. Maybe not tomorrow, but soon and for the rest of your life." His only love leaves and Rick can only take solace with his friend, Louis. "Louis, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship."
