We've already reached back through the sands of cinematic time to bring you Charlie Chaplin; now we're doing it again so we can have a closer look at Humphrey Bogart, who was as big a leading male name as you could get in Hollywood during the 1940s. Without Bogart's incredible storytelling ability as an actor, nobody would remember 'Casablanca' or 'The Maltese Falcon.' If you've ever said, "here's looking at you, kid," then you were quoting Bogart even though you probably didn't realize it at the time.
While we've speculated that Tom Cruise may have worn lifts in his shoes occasionally, we know that Bogart definitely did. Hollywood simply couldn't have a man playing romantic roles in big films when their female co-stars towered over them, so Bogart got plenty of assistance to add a few inches to his height. Without those heels on, he was actually only 5 foot 8.
