It was long believed that his birthday on Christmas Day 1899, Warner Bros. was a fiction created to romanticize his past, and he was really born January 23, 1899, a date that appears in many references.

Children

Bogart's father, Belmont, was a surgeon specializing in heart and lungs. His mother, Maud Humphrey, was a commercial illustrator, who received his art training in New York and France, including the study of James McNeill Whistler, who later became artistic director of the fashion magazine delimiter. She was a militant suffragette. She used a baby picture of Humphrey in a campaign known for Mellins Baby Food.

Education

The Bogarts sent their son to private school. Humphrey started school to school until the fifth year Delancy when he was enrolled in Trinity School. He was an indifferent, sullen student who showed no interest in activities after school. Later, he attended the prestigious prep school Phillips Academy in Andover, Massachusetts, where he was admitted on the basis of family ties. They hoped he would go to Yale, but in 1918, Bogart was expelled.

The details of his expulsion are disputed: one story claims he was ejected for throwing the director (if not a gardener) in Rabbit Pond, an artificial lake on campus. Another cites smoking and drinking, combined with poor school performance, and possibly some intemperate comments to staff. He also said he had actually been withdrawn from school by his father not to improve his academics, as opposed to expulsion.
