Bogart, Humphrey, 1899-1957

Writer Eric Lax. He's written a new biography "Bogart" about actor Humphrey Bogart. Lax has also written a biography of Woody Allen.

Bacall is a legend, though she doesn't like to think of herself as such. She's been a star of stage and screen for fifty years, was married to Humphrey Bogart, and won the National Book Award for her 1978 autobiography "By Myself." Her new book, "Now," tells the story of her last fifteen years and the experiences that have shaped her life.

Writer Lawrence Grobel (pronounced gro-BEL). Grobel has just written "The Hustons," a profile of the film industry's most famous dynasty. The book centers around actor and director John Huston, but also follows the lives his father Walter and his daughter Anjelica, a trio that represents three generations of Oscar winners. For the book, Grobel conducted more than 200 interviews with the Hustons, the friends, enemies, and associates.

Book Critic John Leonard will review The Making of The African Queen, or How I went to Africa with Bogart, Bacall and Huston and almost lost my mind, by actress Katherine Hepburn.
