Resumen del Editor
From the noted Hollywood biographer and author of The Contender comes this celebration of the great American love story—the romance between Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart—capturing its complexity, contradictions, and challenges as never before.
In Bogie & Bacall, William Mann offers a deep and comprehensive look at Lauren Bacall, Humphrey Bogart, and the unlikely love they shared. Mann details their early years—Bogart’s effete upbringing in New York City; Bacall’s rise as a model and actress. He paints a vivid portrait of their courtship and twelve-year marriage: the fights, the reconciliations, the children, the affairs, Bogie’s illness and Bacall’s steadfastness until his death. He offers a sympathetic yet clear-eyed portrait of Bacall’s life after Bogie, exploring her relationships with Frank Sinatra and Jason Robards, who would become her second husband, and the identity crisis she faced.
Surpassing previous biographies, Mann digs deep into the celebrities’ personal lives and considers their relationship from surprising angles. 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? Throughout, Mann explains the unparalleled successes of their individual careers as well as the extraordinary love between them and the legend that has endured.
Filled with entertaining details and thoughtful insights based on newly available records and correspondence, Bogie & Bacall offers a fresh look at this famous couple, their remarkable relationship, and their legacy.

New York Times best-selling author Donald Spoto has brilliantly explored the lives and careers of numerous Hollywood stars and entertainment icons. In Possessed, his subject is the inimitable Joan Crawford, one of the most electrifying divas of the Golden Age of American film. A more thorough, revealing, and sympathetic portrait of the often maligned movie star - most notably lambasted, perhaps, in the scandalous best seller, Mommie Dearest - Possessed is a fascinating study of the real Joan Crawford, a remarkable actress, businesswoman, mother, and lover.

It was the Golden Age of Radio and powerful men were making millions in advertising dollars reaching thousands of listeners every day. When television arrived, few radio moguls were interested in the upstart industry and its tiny production budgets, and expensive television sets were out of reach for most families. But four women - each an independent visionary - saw an opportunity and carved their own paths, and in so doing invented the way we watch TV today.

Women have been instrumental in the success of American cinema since its very beginning. One of the first people to ever pick up a motion picture camera was a woman, as was the first screenwriter to win two Academy Awards, the inventor of the boom microphone, and the first person to be credited with the title film editor. Throughout the entire history of Hollywood women have been revolutionizing, innovating, and shaping how we make movies. Yet their stories are rarely shared. This is what film reporter Alicia Malone wants to change. Backwards and in Heels tells the history of women in film in a different way.

Mary Tyler Moore made her name as Dick Van Dyke's wife on the eponymous show; she was a cute, unassuming housewife that audiences loved. But when screenwriters James Brooks and Allan Burnes dreamed up an edgy show about a divorced woman with a career, network executives replied: "Americans won't watch television about New York City, divorcées, men with mustaches, or Jews." But Moore and her team were committed, and when the show finally aired, in spite of tepid reviews, fans loved it.

Historia
Bestselling Hollywood biographer and film historian Scott Eyman tells the story of Charlie Chaplin’s fall from grace. In the aftermath of World War II, Chaplin was criticized for being politically liberal and internationalist in outlook. He had never become a US citizen, something that would be held against him as xenophobia set in when the postwar Red Scare took hold. In Charlie Chaplin vs. America, Scott Eyman explores the life and times of the movie genius who brought us such masterpieces as City Lights and Modern Times.

The award-winning film biographer presents a deeply-textured, ambitious, and definitive portrait of the greatest movie actor of the 20th century, the elusive Marlon Brando, bringing his extraordinarily complex life into view as never before. The most influential movie actor of his era, Marlon Brando changed the way other actors perceived their craft. His approach was natural, honest, and deeply personal, resulting in performances - most notably in A Streetcar Named Desire and On the Waterfront - that are without parallel.

Historia
Alfred Hitchcock was fixated—not just on the dark, twisty stories that became his hallmark, but also by the blond actresses who starred in many of his iconic movies. The director of North by Northwest, Rear Window, and other classic films didn’t much care if they wore wigs, got their hair coloring out of a bottle, or were the rarest human specimen—a natural blonde—as long as they shone with a golden veneer on camera. The lengths he went to in order to showcase (and often manipulate) these women would become the stuff of movie legend.

Before 1862, Joshua Lawrence Chamberlain had rarely left his home state of Maine, where he was a trained minister and mild-mannered professor at Bowdoin College. His colleagues were shocked when he volunteered for the Union army, but he was undeterred and later became known as one of the North’s greatest heroes: On the second day at Gettysburg, after running out of ammunition at Little Round Top, he ordered his men to wield their bayonets in a desperate charge down a rocky slope that routed the Confederate attackers.

Gleaned from nearly three thousand interviews, involving four hundred voices from the industry, Hollywood: The Oral History, lets a listener “listen in” on candid remarks from the biggest names in front of the camera—Bette Davis, Meryl Streep, Tom Hanks, Harold Lloyd—to the biggest behind it—Frank Capra, Steven Spielberg, Alfred Hitchcock, Jordan Peele, as well as the lesser known individuals that shaped what was heard and seen on screen.

Off screen, however, protected by a careful collaboration between studio and press, he was openly gay with reporters and studio chiefs alike. Here is Haines's virtually unknown story - rich with detail, revelations, and scandal - about silent movies and talkies; his lover Jimmie Shields, and their fifty-year relationship.

No celebrity rivals Elizabeth Taylor’s glamour and guts or her level of fame. She was the last major star to come out of the old Hollywood studio system and she is a legend known for her beauty and her magnetic screen presence in a career that spanned most of the twentieth century and nearly sixty films. But her private life was even more compelling than her Oscar-winning on-screen performances. During her seventy-nine years of rapid-fire love and loss she was married eight times to seven different men.

Historia
In 1986, Paul Newman and his closest friend, screenwriter Stewart Stern, began an extraordinary project. Stuart was to compile an oral history, to have Newman’s family and friends and those who worked closely with him, talk about the actor’s life. And then Newman would work with Stewart and give his side of the story. The only stipulation was that anyone who spoke on the record had to be completely honest. The result is The Extraordinary Life of an Ordinary Man—revelatory and introspective, personal and analytical, loving and tender in places, always complex and profound.

Too long!
This book is way too long. There isn’t enough about the background of Bogart’s iconic films. The author frequently attempts to apply present day’s mores upon the 1940’s, ignoring obvious truths to invent misogyny i.e. Bogart made a lot more money than Bacall. Of course he did. He was the star above the title!

Glib and disappointing
I was very excited to see that a book about Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall was recently released as I love their work. This book though - long as it is - provides little insight into what they were like. Bogart felt abandoned by his parents and that was the root reason for any and all of his actions? Bacall was beautiful and insecure cause her dad wasn’t around when she was growing up? That’s why they loved each other? This feels like a long high school essay rather than journalism. If you want to know what it was like to film Casablanca or To Have or Have Not you can get more info from the trivia on IMDB.

Bogie and Bacall
I was very excited to see this book come out and enjoyed it very much. As always myth is not fact and with most actor’s bio’s are full of both. I recommend this book but their are many sad truths about their lives before marriage and after Bogart’s death. At times the author seems to judge Bacall pretty harshly, she was so much younger than her peer’s and did not always make mature choices. I cannot imagine living the life she did having Bogart die of cancer and her whole life turned upside down plus having to raise two very young children by herself. Sinatra was never a good choice for any female and the cruelty of his actions towards others is well documented. I admire them both and love watching their films. Highly recommend this book,

Depressing
Some facts are interesting but they do not override this bleak and disheartening story of both. Bacall's career obsession eclipsed her entire life including an unbelievably selfish, cold attitude toward motherhood. At the same time, she wants to memorialize this marriage as heaven sent.
Bogart was a mess ..drunk and destructive just about all of his life; Wealthy but deprived of loving parents, he took out his resentment on most he encountered.
Jason Robards presents much the same: drunk and self centered.
Nothing inspirational here, just more of everything money can buy except peace of mind. The excuse being that one's ability to play a part on stage or screen allows for all degrees of egomaniacal and damaging behavior.
As an aside, seems par for the course for numerous Audible readers, the mispronunciations are glaring and peppered throughout.

Alienates key demographic by being over-the-top biased against Lauren Bacall
What I did like about this book was all the detail about Bogart’s Broadway history the way other biographers have touched upon, but he expounded. It was clear to see this author did meticulous research, but by inserting and insinuating that he knew what happened, how Bacall felt, her agenda, how she used people, without any basis or foundation, is utterly ridiculous. I found his insinuations sickening. I am finding it difficult to even finish the book even though I am interested to see if there are any details, about which I may not have previously read; it’s hard to stomach how awful he paints Bacall in this book. If I were their children, I would sue the pants off of this guy for defamation. There are many sentences and paragraphs, which make you pause, and think did no one proof this book before it went to print? The unfounded allegations are cringeworthy and the narrator just emphasizes them. I would like to give him a higher mark for a research alone, but I just cannot get past his treatment of Bacall. There are many things he absolutely got wrong as a man, and not having a woman’s point of view but the industry was particularly harsh to women back then and I think most people would be surprised prized if not, absolutely shocked at what the studios did, and how they handled their actors back then.

Excellent biography. Perfect length. Great narration. Pretty much confirmed what I'd heard from our family stories, from people who worked with them (particularly her).
