Humphrey Bogart began his acting career in 1921 in Broadway productions, and remained in that genre until the stock market crash of 1929. With a decrease in the demand for plays, Bogart turned to film. Originally typecast as a gangster in lesser films, his breakthrough came in 1941 with “High Sierra” and “The Maltese Falcon.” The following year he starred in “Casablanca.” Other major performances were in “Key Largo,” “To Have and Have Not,” “The African Queen,” and “The Caine Mutiny.” His only Academy Award came from his performance in “The African Queen.”
