Randolph Scott and Humphrey Bogart shared a birthday. Randy had a head start (and died 30 years after Bogart). He was born January 23, 1898, Bogey January 23, 1899 (I learn later that this is not so).
I am trying to imagine what sort of movie could have featured them both. The Caine Mutiny might have worked. Or The Petrified Forest.
Since Randolph Scott did a slew of Westerns and I cannot picture Humphrey Bogart in one, would Bogart have fit in any Scott movies? Maybe Christmas Eve, which I have never seen (or even heard of before a few minutes ago). Here's the plot:
Oh, heck, this is all moot. Bogart's birthday was not January 23, 1899. It was December 25, 1899.

The greedy nephew of eccentric Matilda Reid seeks to have her judged incompetent so he can administer her wealth; but she will be saved if her three long-lost adopted sons appear for a Christmas Eve reunion. Separate stories reveal Michael as a bankrupt playboy loved by loyal Ann; Mario as a seemingly shady character tangling with a Nazi war criminal in South America; Jonathan as a hard-drinking rodeo rider intent on a flirtatious social worker.Michael was played by George Brent, Mario by George Raft and Jonathan by Randolph Scott. It's not much of a stretch to imagine Bogart as a "shady character tangling with a Nazi war criminal."
Oh, heck, this is all moot. Bogart's birthday was not January 23, 1899. It was December 25, 1899.
