Humphrey Bogart

Read a short story of a famous movie star who became a symbol of old Hollywood.

1.1

Humphrey Bogart was a big movie star from long time ago. He was born in New York City on December 25, 1899. Bogart grew up in a family that liked art. His dad was good at drawing, and his mom was good at making art for advertisements.

Humphrey Bogart régen nagy filmsztár volt. 1899. december 25-én született New Yorkban. Bogart egy művészetkedvelő családban nőtt fel. Apja jó volt a rajzolásban, anyja pedig a reklámokhoz készített művészetben volt jó.

1.2

When Bogart was young, he did not plan to be an actor. He tried a lot of jobs, like working on ships and joining the U.S. Navy in a big war. But he really loved acting, so he went to Hollywood to try it.

Amikor Bogart fiatal volt, nem tervezte, hogy színész legyen. Sok munkát kipróbált, például hajókon dolgozott és csatlakozott az amerikai haditengerészethez egy nagy háborúban. De igazán szeretett színészkedni, ezért Hollywoodba ment, hogy megpróbálja.

1.3

Bogart became famous in the 1940s. He acted in big movies like "Casablanca" and "The Maltese Falcon." He played tough guys with a rough voice, but they were good guys at heart.

Bogart az 1940-es években vált híressé. Nagy filmekben játszott, mint például a "Casablanca" és a "A máltai sólyom". Kemény fickókat alakított durva hanggal, de ők jó fiúk voltak a szívükben.

1.4

He had a really cool style. He often wore a special kind of hat called a fedora and had a cigarette in his mouth. This style became his special look. People all over the world wanted to copy his style because he looked so cool and confident.

Igazán menő stílusa volt. Gyakran viselt egy fedora nevű speciális kalapot és szájában volt egy cigaretta. Ez a stílus vált az ő különleges megjelenésévé. Az egész világon az emberek utánozni akarták a stílusát, mert olyan menő és magabiztosnak tűnt.

1.5

In real life, Bogart liked sailing and was married a few times. His most famous wife was "Lauren Bacall." She was a movie star, too. They were a very famous couple.

A való életben Bogart szeretett vitorlázni és néhányszor házasodott. Legismertebb felesége "Lauren Bacall" volt. Ő is filmsztár volt. Nagyon híres pár voltak.

1.6

Bogart had some problems with drinking too much, but he continued acting in movies until he got sick and died in 1957.

Bogartnak volt néhány problémája a túlzott ivással, de továbbra is filmekben játszott, amíg meg nem betegedett és meghalt 1957-ben.

1.7

Fun fact: Humphrey Bogart liked playing chess a lot. He even played against the best chess player in the world once, but he did not win.

Érdekesség: Humphrey Bogart nagyon szeretett sakkozni. Egyszer még a világ legjobb sakkjátékosával is játszott, de nem nyert.
