Happy Anniversary, Humphrey Bogart (25 December 1899, New York City - 14 January 1957, Los Angeles) Birth Name: Humphrey DeForest Bogart 
Bogart, the sensitive tough guy, was hounded by insecurity and a host of other personal demons, his upperclass background lending an innate dignity. “Look, I’m hardly pretty, he seems to say. I sound like gravel; I look rough and tough; and, honest, I don’t give you the soft, foolish answers the pretty boys will give you. You may not like what I say, but you better believe it.” -"Humphrey Bogart (Great Stars)" by David Thomson A video featuring some stills of male actors who were considered as tough guys but could also show a romantic, sensitive side (especially with their female co-stars): Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, John Garfield, Robert Mitchum, Glenn Ford, Dana Andrews, Tom Neal, Alan Ladd, Frank Sinatra, Sterling Hayden, Burt Lancaster, Kirk Douglas, Clark Gable, Robert Ryan, Spencer Tracy, Marlon Brando, Paul Newman, Steve McQueen, Richard Widmark, etc. Also other actors not really the tough type (more on the sensitive side) as James Stewart, Henry Fonda, Dick Powell, Van Heflin, James Dean, William Holden, etc. Entwined some modern actors as Sean Penn, Robert De Niro, Stephen Dorff, Bruce Willis, Harrison Ford, Clive Owen, Russell Crowe, Leonardo DiCaprio, Charlie Sheen, etc.
