Humphrey Bogart made history as the last lead actor born in the 19th century to win an Oscar, and it was for a role that changed his career.
The Big Picture After defining Hollywood's Golden Age, few have matched the legacy of Humphrey Bogart as one of the most visible examples of a leading man in the industry. His stature in films like The Maltese Falcon and The Big Sleep represented over a decade's worth of American culture. The likable anti-hero and cynical detective were given a face alongside other actors who fit a similar profile.
Bogart won Best Actor for this seemingly off-brand role, yet it makes more sense given the competition. Dark subcultures were explored with Marlon Brando being eligible for A Streetcar Named Desire and Fredric March for Death Of A Salesman — unlikely candidates for an era that would reward Gary Cooper and John Ford, the types that were triumphant during the '30s and '40s. It was Bogart and Hepburn that stayed consisted with the 19th century generation of entertainment.
As the last actor to win from the 19th century, the Academy Award for The African Queen became more significant in retrospect. James Cagney, a precursor of Bogart, was also born in 1899 and embodied the archetype that would dominate the '30s. However, none of these won him an Oscar like Bogart's run in the '40s. Instead, it was Yankee Doodle Dandee that captured the actor's identity like many others of his era.
