Did you know?!

A first
Bogart was reportedly the first actor to say "Tennis, anyone?" on stage, a line that became a cliche of his early career.
Early training
Bogart never took acting lessons, preferring to learn by doing. He worked steadily at his craft, and between 1922 and 1935 he appeared in at least 18 Broadway productions, 11 of them comedies.
Big break
Bogart sent word of the situation to Howard in Scotland, and Howard answered that Warner should be told to let Bogart play Mantee, adding that without Bogart there was no deal. Warner Bros. gave in and cast Bogart.
Own stunts
Bogart was a tournament-level chess player, one division below master, and often played games with crew members and cast, though Paul Henreid was his better. During the production, he also began correspondence chess games by mail against American G.I.s.
Behind the camera
In 1948 Bogart started his own film company, Santana Productions. It took its name from his yacht and from the cabin cruiser in Key Largo.
