Bogie and Bacall

Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall were Hollywood royalty when they married - but their relationship was anything but a Hollywood romance. Surpassing previous biographies, William J. Mann digs deep into the celebrities' personal lives in his new book Bogie & Bacall. 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?

Bogie & Bacall offers a fresh look at this famous couple, their remarkable relationship, and their legacy.
