Sadly Montgomery Clift and Spencer Tracy legends during the Golden Era of Hollywood died shy of a year of each other with Clift in 1966 and Tracy in 1967 at age 67.

Thank you for this episode; Clift was so talented and yet so tragic. I really liked him in Suddenly Last Summer, but From Here To Eternity was a tough one with the bar fight scene. Tough yet fragile.

I always click you on and then give a thumbs up before I watch the episode cause I know I am going to enjoy what you are presenting. I am a big fan of Clift but I didn't realize how young he was when he died. You are very correct in saying Cliff was lucky that his face was ever put together enough after the accident to be able to continue working, but oh what they can do now is unbelievable.

I knew almost everything in this video about him, but I hadn't realized he was only 46. I thought sure he was a decade older. I remember reading about him after he died. The magazine article called his facial reconstruction "botched", but I didn't think he looked that bad -of course, I was just a kid. He definitely looked different, but the accident really messed him up. I'm glad Steve pointed out that it wasn't bad surgery for its time. Monty definitely didn't agree. Poor guy. Terrific actor.

I remember Rod Steiger, in an interview, said Monty Clift was stunningly handsome. His facial reconstruction had to have a severe effect on his self esteem and confidence. Only 45 when he died. That is so young. I also remember a quote from Marilyn Monroe saying, "He was the only other person who had more problems than she did." That is saying a lot. May Montgomery Clift rest in peace.

A Place in the Sun and Suddenly Last Summer were my 2 favorite films of Clift’s. He portrayed angst more effectively than any actor of his era. I always wondered what his life and career would have become if he hadn’t had that car accident. He likely would have gone on to win an academy award.

Unfortunately Montgomery Clift dealt with a long battle of addiction to alcohol and drugs when he had his car accident his addiction became worse when he crashed his car in 1956. His addictions led to his death in 1966 just 3 months shy of his 46th birthday.

MC was very beautiful until he had that wreck. Have watched The Heiress several times. A great movie with all actors hitting their marks. Even the maid was noticeable. Olivia was outstanding and had to spend hours in makeup to actually make her unattractive. Her scene with her father late in the movie was so gratifying.

Not too long ago, I was watching The Misfits. I enjoyed it, though I don't believe it was the best performance of Marilyn, Clark or Monty. Knowing all three would die not long after the film's release does lend some poignancy to it. I think Brando did an excellent job in Reflections in a Golden Eye, but I can't help wondering what it would've been with Monty.

Montgomery Clift walked out of the premiere of The Heiress because he was so disgusted with his performance. But his performance was, for me, just about perfect, and a main reason why I like the film so much. Facially he reminds me a bit of Tom Cruise, especially in Red River. He was also great in I Confess, even though he was apparently drunk on set he gives such a sensitive, believable performance (its all in his eyes), the audience roots for his character until the end

To be honest, I thought he died in his 60s but 45 is still too young especially for an actor that was beloved and had good looks. It would be nice if you were to do a video on Brittany Murphy, Phil Hartman, Michael Clarke Duncan, Michelle Thomas (Family Matters), and Dana Hill who all died too soon.
