Bogart's Baby

Humphrey Bogart’s Letter to Lauren Bacall after they finished filming on her first film To Have an Have Not  1944 ,, “I wish with all my heart that things were different – someday soon they will be. And now I know what was meant by ‘to say goodbye is to die a little’ – because when I walked away from you that last time and saw you standing there so darling I did die a little in my heart.”
