All died young and at their peak

Good guess but Elvis died at 40 and was past his peak. Bogart was 57. They were all icons of show business though.

Nonsense.

Your statement is only true about James Dean.

Bogey died a horrible lingering death at age 57 from throat cancer brought on by too many Chesterfields.

Elvis pegged out at 42 from a cocktail of drugs.

Marilyn died at 36 also from drugs, with the added complication that she had become sexually involved with two very rich and powerful brothers from a low-life family in Massachusetts who wanted her out of the way.

None of the three were at the "peak" of their careers by any stretch of the imagination when they died.

What was the peak of their careers, and what do you consider young?

In those days under 30 was young. It was after the war and too many young men had become old far too soon.

IMO

Elvis- before Vegas

Marilyn- before Kennedy

Bogart- when he made Casablanca etc

James Dean- when he died.

 

IMO, the common link is that they were all HUGE stars that epitomized the era and died tragically.

Very good summing-up.

Elvis was a wreck in every sense of the word toward the end of his life.  Country boy who made it big and couldn't handle it.  But hey, for a few million dollar paydays, there might go you and I.

Marilyn's ghost may never be laid to rest. She had some very sleazy friends in high office and high places. Aging Rat Pack groupie, and all but married-to-the-mob.  Bert Stern's 1962 photo shoot is her visual obit.

I can't agree with you about Bogart. I don't think he ever "peaked". He changed, of course. Beginning in musical comedy on Broadway in his teens as the obnoxious young socialite... "anyone for tennis?" ,  and going on to the 1930s hit films where he was usually typecast as a gangster.  Then came the 1940s classics like Casablanca, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre,  etc. They are his best known, but the 1950s showed him in The African Queen, The Caine Mutiny, and The Barefoot Contessa as over-the-hill and somewhat crazy, but still Bogart. One of the best.

I was with you until you disrespected The African Queen.  That's one of my favorites.  Bogart's character may have been over-the-hill and somewhat crazy, but that was Bogart creating the perfect character for the role.

 

Had Bogart stayed in good health I'm sure he would have made many more great movies.

If the OP is interested; I saw an unusual Elvis picture in La Lanterna di Genova, a small Italian restaurant on Rachdamnoen (Walking Street) next to Siam Commercial Bank.  It is a photograph (I assume a reproduction) of a young Elvis in an Army uniform talking with King Rama IX.  At first I thought it had been taken during Elvis's Army days, but an internet search stated it was taken on the set of "GI Blues".  Apparently the late king was an Elvis fan.

 

BTW, it's a nice restaurant with good food, I especially like the pizza.
