Humphrey Bogart Home - New York City

Humphrey Bogart's home is on East 52nd Street in New York City.  He shared an apartment in this building with his second wife Mary Philips.  After more than ten years of performing on the stage and, more recently, in films the actor moved back to New York, and with his wife of five years moved into this apartment building called Southgate.  Finding work hard to come by Bogart found employment in Our Wife and The Mask and the Face, two 1933 Broadway flops.  Then early in 1934 he had a role in the film Midnight, which came and went without any fanfare.  Shortly after, Bogart's big break came.  He was suggested as the second lead by playwright Sherwood Anderson for his new drama The Petrified Forest.  Bogart got the role of Duke Mantee and the play opened January 7, 1935 to rave revues for the actor, and sold out performances.  The play closed on June 29 and by that time Warner Bros. had acquired the film rights.  After some fits and starts Bogart was brought on board and left for Hollywood near the end of t1935.  When the movie opened in February of 1936 Bogart had become a star.  He moved out to California permanently, leaving his last New York home, and his wife, behind.  The couple were divorced in 1937.
