And today's Briefs are brought to you by... Submitted by on Wed, 2008-02-27 17:19. Happy birthday, Montgomery Clift
One of the first "method actors" to hit Hollywood (his film career predated those of James Dean and Marlon Brando), he was billed as a "new kind of leading man." Sensitive, with brooding good looks, he was the type of guy that "women would want to take care of." In fact, in his personal life he was bisexual if not predominantly gay, though he had a number of close platonic relationships with women. Among them Nancy Walker, Libby Holman, and most famously Elizabeth Taylor.
In 1956, while filming Raintree County, Clift was involved in a motorcycle accident while leaving a party at costar Elizabeth Taylor's house. His face was horribly disfigured and, while waiting for an ambulance, he almost choked. (Taylor saved his life by removing two teeth from the back of his throat.) After weeks of recovery, Clift return to film his final scenes in Raintree County, and it's easy to spot before and after evidence of his disfigurement in that film. Clift continued to work after the accident but became increasingly dependent on drugs and alcohol. His post-accident career has been called "one of the longest suicides in Hollywood." He died in 1966 of a heart attack brought on by severe drug and alcohol abuse. He was 45.
As a special birthday treat, after the break we have some Montgomery Clift trivia, as well as a home video clip of the star in his youth, kidding around at home with Marlon Brando. It's a hoot to see these two together camping it up. Submitted by on Wed, 2007-10-17 11:00. |
