Humphrey Bogart Ruby Ring

THERE IS LITTLE INDICATION THAT THE YOUNG BOGART WAS EVER AN OPEN REBEL. NEVERTHELESS, HIS EARLY YEARS WERE MARKED BY AN ASSERTIVE NATURE AND INHERENT STUBBORNESS, WHICH WOULD SOON PUT HIM IN CONFLICT WITH HIS PARENTS, PARTICULARLY HIS RIGID AND IMPLACABLE FATHER. YET BOGART’S TIES TO HIS FATHER WERE NEVER SEVERED. HE WOULD CONTINUE TO SPEAK OF HIM ONLY WITH DEFERENCE AND RESPECT. WHEN THE ELDER BOGART WAS BESET BY HARD TIMES, PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL, HIS SON WAS NEVER FAR AWAY. IN SEPTEMBER 1943, UPON HEARING OF HIS FATHER’S FAILING HEALTH, BOGART, BY NOW A BIG STAR, HURRIED BACK TO HIS PARENTS’ HOME. THERE, TWO DAYS LATER, THE ELDER BOGART DIED IN HIS SON’S ARMS. HE LEFT HIS SON A RUBY RING WHICH BOGEY WOULD WEAR THE REST OF HIS LIFE.
