Bogie & Bacall Quotes

“There’s treasure to be mined from Bacall’s memoirs, to be sure, but the true mother lode is found elsewhere, in the Bogarts’ recently opened personal and business files at both Indiana University, Bloomington, and Boston University. The papers of Katharine Hepburn and John Huston have also been opened since the last major Bogart biography, and several people who dared not speak out while Bacall was alive felt free to do so now (though some of them still asked for anonymity; Bacall remains formidable even in death). I am also indebted to the exhaustive research of A. M. Sperber and Eric Lax, conducted while so many important figures in Bogart’s and Bacall’s lives were still living and published in their excellent Bogart in 1997.”
