Happy Birthday Humphrey Bogart

Humphrey Bogart, originally uploaded by twm1340.

One of my favorite classic film actors and cultural icon was born on this day in 1899! I still consider "The Big Sleep" to be one of my favorite film noir works and quite possibly the best of it's genre.

He is responsible for some of the finest film performances of the 20th century and if you're somehow not familiar with his work, I strongly suggest that you do yourself a cultural favor and do so. . .
