In 1945, noted surgeon and New York socialite Humphrey Bogart wed the much younger Betty Perske, a dancer with the New York Ballet. 46-year-old Bogart and his 23-year-old bride were the subject of many scandalous reports in the Big Apple's gossip columns, but they seemed to be truly in love - they remained married until Bogart's death from lung cancer in 1957.
