Early life

Bogart was born on January 6, 1949, in Los Angeles, California, to Lauren Bacall and Humphrey Bogart [2] at the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital.[7] Bogart was raised in the Holmby Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles where his neighbors who were also family friends were Judy Garland and Frank Sinatra.[8][9] After his father died in 1957, his family moved to New York City where his mother had bought an apartment at The Dakota.[9][10] His mother enrolled him at Milton Academy, and he graduated in 1967.[11] Afterwards, he enrolled at the University of Pennsylvania and majored in English.[11] He reported that he was unhappy with this, and attended Boston University in 1969.[11] He met his first wife, Dale Gemelli, there.[11] The couple married in 1969.[12] Bogart began his career as an insurance agent, but afterwards began studying mass communications at the University of Hartford and began to pursue a career in television news. At the age of 39, he moved from New York to become a producer for NBC's Sunday Today, and took a job as an executive producer of a news department.[9]
