Bogie tops list of screen legends
![]() Hepburn and Bogart: A perfect pairing
Humphrey Bogart and his African Queen co-star Katharine Hepburn were named on Tuesday at the top of a list of the 50 greatest screen legends.
The list, produced by the American Film Institute, deliberately excluded modern stars. Cary Grant was number two on the list of greatest male actors, followed by James Stewart, Marlon Brando, Fred Astaire, Henry Fonda, and Clark Gable. Only four on the men's list - Brando, Gregory Peck, Kirk Douglas and Sidney Poitier - are still alive.
Like the men, most of the female stars are now no longer with us. Alongside Katharine Hepburn, only Elizabeth Taylor, Lauren Bacall, Shirley Temple and Sophia Loren are still alive. "For a guy who didn't think of acting as a competitive sport, he would have been honored and awestruck by this," Bogart's son Stephen said.
The AFI was prepared for criticism of its choices. "We expect that sort of thing again. Someone will find fault," AFI chairman Tom Pollock said. "Lists by their nature create controversy because of who is on them and who is left off them." The full list of screen legends: The men
The women
