Bogart's love interest in The African Queen was this Sangerite toad
who drank beer & ate Campbell's mushroom soup by the truckload,
vomited like a sailor & lapped Gordon's clam broth by the shipload
while Betty juggled Afro-***** & fought tigresses on the commode
& Humphrey polished Afrikana wugget when he wasn't on the road
Bogey threaded Afric quims before his oncogenic-esophagus mode

The crapped-out muffer/mummer Kate Hepburn's heart was a bottomless pit of generosity. Within 40 minutes of Red China's 7.8 Great Tangshan Earthquake on 27 July 1976 that killed 655,000 people Kate expertly put together (with the selfless help of the population-sensitive Rockefeller Foundation & the bushy staff at  "Ms. Magazine") a care package of desperately-needed abortion tools: manual vacuum aspirators (manual: as electrical service would be out), uterine currettes (small ones to accommodate mothers averaging 5 feet in height), syringes with spinal needles, cannulae, ring forceps, speculums, & tenaculums to ensure that 15,000 mothers, in the chaotic days following the catastrophe, could not slip a second child passed their one-child-only monitors.
