Well, maybe "uncool" is unkind. Let's just say that most of these images don't really conjure the iconic "Bogie".

At Liza Minnelli's sixth birthday part, 1952. |
|
Photograph by Elmer Fryer, 1938. |
|
Makeup tests for The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, 1948. |
|
At the age of two; admittedly adorable, if not terribly cool. |
|
Well, what can you expect when you pose with a penguin...? |
|
(I'm not sure who the woman is.) |
|
|
As "bandito" John Murrell, in Virginia City, 1940. |

Intentionally dorky. The Big Sleep, with Sonia Darrin, 1946. |
|
Unintentionally dorky. Dark Passage, 1947. |

|
Way beyond cool. With his daughter Leslie. |
|
An actor prepares. On the set of The Return of Doctor X, 1939. Probably not his favorite role. |
|
Bogart with a bunny. I guess that says it all. |
|
"For Roxanne that dish...." |
Ha! Love it! Even dorky, he's cool.
ReplyDeleteIn the first photo, we are guessing that poor old Bogart was caught unawares by the photographer. No-one on earth would be voluntarily photographed in that bathing suit and those flippers :(
ReplyDeleteDitto the last photo, stuffing his face. Photographers can be cruel.
