| biography:
| Film actor, born in New York City, USA. He made his film debut in Broadway's Like That (1930). Alternating between stage and screen, he was frequently cast as a vicious hoodlum, most memorably in The Petrified Forest (1936), but eventually attained stardom with his roles in High Sierra (1941), The Maltese Falcon (1941), and Casablanca (1942, with Ingrid Bergman). To Have and Have Not (1944) also marked the debut of Lauren Bacall, who became his fourth wife in 1945. Over the next 12 years he created an enduring screen persona of the lone wolf, as in The Big Sleep (1946). Later films include The African Queen (1951, Oscar) and The Caine Mutiny (1954). |
