Beschreibung
From the noted Hollywood biographer and author of The Contender comes this celebration of the great American love storythe romance between Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogartcapturing its complexity, contradictions, and challenges as never before.In Bogie Bacall, William Mann offers a deep and comprehensive look at Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, and the unlikely love they shared. Mann details their early yearsBogarts effete upbringing in New York City; Bacalls rise as a model and actress. He paints a vivid portrait of their courtship and twelve-year marriage: the fights, the reconciliations, the children, the affairs, Bogies illness and Bacalls steadfastness until his death. He offers a sympathetic yet clear-eyed portrait of Bacalls life after Bogie, exploring her relationships with Frank Sinatra and Jason Robards, who would become her second husband, and the identity crisis she faced.Surpassing previous biographies, Mann digs deep into the celebrities personal lives and considers their relationship from surprising angles. Bacall was just nineteen when she started dating the thrice-married forty-five-year-old Bogart. How might that age gap have influenced their relationship? In addition to what she gained, what might Bacall have lost by marrying a Hollywood superstar more than twice her age? How did Bogart, a man of average looks, become one of the greatest movie stars of all time? Throughout, Mann explains the unparalleled successes of their individual careers as well as the extraordinary love between them and the legend that has endured.Filled with entertaining details and thoughtful insights based on newly available records and correspondence, and illustrated with 30-40 photographs, Bogie Bacall offers a fresh look at this famous couple, their remarkable relationship, and their legacy.
