Just For Fun…Can You Guess What Famous Star Is Wearing These?
The actor in question had to wear these wooden lifts to get him to eye-level with his female co start while shooting a film that has become a classic, that we all know and love.
Here are some hints…he was 5′ 8″ and named America’s greatest actor by The American Film Institute. He was a wicked chess player, an avid reader, had a yacht named Santana and as a baby, appeared in a national advertising campaign for Mellin’s Baby Food. He once said ” The trouble with the world is that it’s always one drink behind”.
Jarbas Jam Mesquita was the first with the correct answer…Humphrey Bogart. He wore these while filming ‘Casablanca’ to get him eye level with Ingrid Bergman. Thanks to Gay Linvill for the picture. Enjoy, share and good luck! -Bobby Ellerbee
