Did You Know?

… that Humphrey met his fourth wife-to-be actress Lauren Bacall in 1944 on the set of their first movie, To Have and Have Not. They were married soon after and the Hollywood Publicity Machine dubbed them "Hollywood's Greatest Romance." They would collaborate on four more films … The Big Sleep, Two Guys from Milwaukee, Dark Passage and Key Largo.
… that Humphrey's most memorable role, Casablanca's Rick Blaine, was originally developed for Ronald Reagan. You can learn more in our Tribute to Casablanca.
… that Humphrey enlisted in the U.S. Navy during the first World War. It was during this period that an accidental fall on board his ship resulted in the partial paralysis of his upper lip that would be the cause of his trademark snarl and lisp.
… that Humphrey enjoyed a successful career-long collaboration with famed director John Huston. Starting with The Maltese Falcon, these "men's men" would go on to make seven more films, including: Across the Pacific, The African Queen, Beat the Devil, In This Our Life, Key Largo and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
