Stephen Humphrey Bogart (born January 6, 1949 in Los Angeles, California) is an American writer, producer, and businessman.[1] He is the only son of actor Humphrey Bogart.[2][3] He hosted the festival celebrating the 70th and 75th anniversary of the film Casablanca (which his father starred in) in 2012 and once more in 2017.[4][5] Some of his notable works in writing include Bogart: In Search of My Father,[6] Play it Again,[7] and The Remake: As Time Goes By.

Life and career

Bogart was born on January 6, 1949 in Los Angeles, California to Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart [3] at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital.[8] Bogart was raised in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles where his neighbors who were also family friends were Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.[9][10] After his father died in 1957, his family moved to New York City where his mother had bought an apartment at The Dakota.[10][11] His mother enrolled him at Milton Academy, and he graduated in 1967.[12] Afterwards, he enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and majored in English.[12] He reported that he was unhappy with this, and attended Boston University in 1969.[12] He met his wife, Dale Gemelli, there.[12] The announcement was later made that Gemelli and Bogart were to be married.[13] Bogart began his career as an insurance agent,[10] but afterwards began studying mass communications at the University of Hartford and began to pursue a career in television news.[10] At the age of 39, he moved from New York to become a producer for NBC's "Sunday Today", and took a job as an executive producer of a news department.[10]

Bogart oversees the management of his father's estate, The Estate of Humphrey Bogart. The estate owns and manages the name/image/likeness rights of Humphrey Bogart. The estate also hosts an annual Humphrey Bogart Film Festival in Key Largo, Florida. The estate also owns and manages Santana Films, successor to Humphrey Bogart's company Santana Productions. The estate is also the founding partner of the Bogart Spirits liquor brand.[14][15][16]
