Letter

Bogart's secretary had not heard from me for several weeks because I was very busy, helping with the new arrival to our family. I was nineteen when my mother had a baby girl - for the first time in my life I had a sister - I was overjoyed.

Kathy Sloan - Bogart's Secretary

Everytime Kathy Sloan (Bogart's secretary ) would write to me with matters concerning the English Fan Club, she would enclose a really personal photo of Bogie, either taken in their home or garden. She always made little notations on the back of each one. I never met her, but she seemed like a very nice lady, and told me about her young son. He was about 11 when we first started corresponding. In Lauren Bacall's book "By Myself ", she mentions that after Bogart died, nearly all of his clothes were given to Kathie Sloan's son. Anyway, I hope you enjoy looking at these treasured photos.
