@mwells219 they were alcoholics, painkiller addicts, hard drug addicts, they were not perfect, just better at hiding their issues. But the press wasn't as obsessed with them back then either.

"Bogart was a complex, hard-working, hard drinking, outspoken, witty and cynically rebellious and yet strangely Victorian, raucous and intelligent man" (Budd Schulberg, Washington Post, the 60s).
Thank you very much for posting!

Bogart didn't start wearing a wig until Sierra Madre, and then he started taking vitamin B pills and his hair regrew by 1950

@RichardElden Many actors are bald or balding. The fact that he wore a rug is and was irrelevant. Sean Connery wore a toupee for many of his films and he was still pretty freakin' awesome. Bogart was still freakin' awesome.

@RichardElden Bogie's looks are a testament to the fact that looks aren't everything. Bogie only started to go bald after he married Bacall and as for the 'far better' American actors, William Holden ain't shit compared to Bogart. Widmark and Holden may have starred in some iconic film noir in their time but Bogart pretty much invented it, they owe their performances to Bogart, who by the way, could have done a far better job in their films. But put Widmark or Holden in Casablanca, instant flop.

@girlishfun Humphrey Bogart is the greatest actor of all time for a reason. He had talent and charisma, and such a force of personality. He brought everything he was in to life and John Huston was right when he said in his eulogy that there never will be another like him. It was heartbreaking that he was given bit parts for the first ten years of his career and also heart-breaking that he died too early.

@RichardElden Drugs influence your perception of reality.
