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.

Хамфрі Богарт був великою кінозіркою багато років тому. Він народився в Нью-Йорку 25 грудня 1899 року. Богарт виріс у сім'ї, яка любила мистецтво. Його батько добре малював, а мати добре створювала мистецтво для реклами.

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.

Коли Богарт був молодим, він не планував стати актором. Він спробував багато робіт, таких як робота на кораблях і вступ до ВМС США у великій війні. Але він дійсно любив акторську гру, тому поїхав до Голлівуду, щоб спробувати.

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.

Богарт став відомим у 1940-х роках. Він грав у великих фільмах, таких як "Касабланка" та "Мальтійський сокіл". Він грав жорстких хлопців з грубим голосом, але вони були хорошими в душі.

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.

У нього був дійсно крутий стиль. Він часто носив особливий вид капелюха під назвою федора і тримав сигарету в роті. Цей стиль став його особливим образом. Люди по всьому світу хотіли скопіювати його стиль, тому що він виглядав так круто і впевнено.

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.

У реальному житті Богарт любив вітрильний спорт і був одружений кілька разів. Його найвідомішою дружиною була "Лорен Беколл". Вона також була кінозіркою. Вони були дуже відомою парою.

1.6

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

У Богарта були проблеми з надмірним вживанням алкоголю, але він продовжував зніматися у фільмах, поки не захворів і не помер у 1957 році.

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.

Цікавий факт: Хамфрі Богарт дуже любив грати в шахи. Він навіть одного разу грав проти найкращого шахіста світу, але не виграв.
