The Secret Life of Humphrey Bogart: The Early Years (1899-1931)

Summary: Boo For "Bogart"
Review: This book deserves a zero. I've rarely read a more obscene libel of the dead! The author seems to believe that 99% of the people in the entertainment world were gay males, lesbians, or bi-sexuals. I doubt that the book would ever have been published if the author hadn't done it himself. No reputable publishing house would issue such a work of unsubstantiated "facts." Much of it reads like Porter made it up as he went along. How could he know the intimate details of sexual acts unless he was there? And he constantly quotes dialogue and conversations that he couldn't possibly have heard, attributing them to people who are conveniently dead and can't call him a liar.
