Screen legend, Humphrey Bogart along with his wife and fellow actress Lauren Bacall are interviewed at their Los Angeles, CA home during this September 3, 1954 interview by Edward R. Murrow.
Humphrey Bogart was committed to the art. In the more than 80 films spanning his career, he was never once late to the set or unprepared for his lines. He held a deep respect for actors who were serious about their performances, and was professional in every aspect of his own career.
"[Bogart] achieved class through his integrity and his devotion to what he thought was right," said friend Nathaniel Benchley in his biography, "Humphrey Bogart". "He believed in being direct, simple, and honest, all on his own terms, and this ruffled some people and endeared him to others."
In 1944, Warner Bros. paired Bogart with 20-year-old Betty Perske, a personable up-and-comer who went by the stage name Lauren Bacall. A sultry beauty, Betty already had a highly successful modeling career with Harper's Bazaar, and was looking to break into the movie business. The two were slated to star in a screenplay adaptation of Ernest Hemingway's novel To Have and Have Not. Upon meeting her, Bogart told Betty, "I saw your test. We're going to have a lot of fun together."
He could not have been more right. The electricity between Bogart and Betty was tangible, and yet their connection was much more than physical. Betty's self confidence and dedicated work ethic matched Bogart's, and her warm, nurturing manner complimented his softer side nicely. Bogart's connection with Betty gave him the final push he needed to end the ailing marriage with Mayo. Their divorce was final on May 10, 1945, and Bogart and Betty were married less than two weeks later on May 21. (humphreybogart.com)

Person to Person is a popular television program in the United States that originally ran from 1953 to 1961, with two episodes of an attempted revival airing in 2012. Edward R. Murrow hosted the original series from its inception in 1953 until 1959, interviewing celebrities in their homes from a comfortable chair in his New York studio (his opening: "Good evening, I'm Ed Murrow. And the name of the program is 'Person to Person'. It's all live - there's no film"). Although Murrow is best remembered as a reporter on programs such as Hear It Now and See It Now and for publicly confronting Senator Joseph McCarthy, on Person to Person he was a pioneer of the celebrity interview.
