RE: Was Bogie an actor or a star?

He was both.

He played against Bette Davis and Cagney in a couple of his most important early movies and was probably the only actor with enough moxie and charisma to steal scenes from them. Hard to do considering their towering screen presence and personalities.

"Iconic" is certainly overused but all three of the actors I've mentioned here certainly qualify for that moniker.

I recently rewatched "Sabrina" which was made late in Bogie's career. He was too old for the character he was playing yet totally effective. The modern remake is a good film but cannot hold a candle to the original. How could it when the original had Humphrey Bogart and Audrey Hepburn in the title roles while the remake, which was a good effort, did not?
