For Humphrey Bogart's son, making sense of and peace with the father he lost at an early age has led him down a path of understanding that he now reveals. Along the way, he came up with surprising anecdotes involving Frank Sinatra, Bette Davis, John Houston, Audrey Hepburn, and Stephen Bogart's stepfather, Jason Robards, that make the real Humphrey Bogart come vividly to life.

Stephen Humphrey Bogart, the son of the infamous Humphrey Bogart and Lauren Bacall, had just turned eight years old when his father died of lung cancer in January of 1957. Stephen, plagued by his father's legacy and struggling with his own identity, offers a very candid look into his father's life, complete with stories about John Huston, Katherine Hepburn, Spencer Tracy and Frank Sinatra. The epitome of "toughness" Humphrey Bogart was fifty when Stephen was born, and just a little unsure about how a child would fit into his lifestyle.

"Stephen Bogart just wanted to be a regular guy, as I suppose all children of famous people do, and his quest to understand his father is a painful, poignant, and very realistic perspective." [a review]
