This 1997 stamp pays tribute to Humphrey Bogart, an actor who came to define the hard-boiled detective and the cynical anti-hero in films like "The Maltese Falcon" and "Casablanca." The First Day of Issue ceremony took place in Los Angeles, the city where Bogart became a Hollywood legend. The stamp's portrait captures the actor's signature look, complete with a fedora and a trench coat, solidifying his status as a cultural icon.
