? About ?
Meeting on the set of "To Have And Have Not", Bacall and Bogart weren't immediately attracted to one another. Over the course of the filming, and despite their other entanglements (his marriage to Mayo Methot, her relationship with Howard Hughes) they fell in love. They co-starred in such classic movies as "The Big Sleep" and "Key Largo", where their chemistry is electric. They would marry in 1946, producing two children, Stephen and Leslie. The marriage lasted until Bogart's death in 1957.
