MONTGOMERY CLIFT

Montgomery Clift (born Edward Montgomery Clift) was an actor from the 1940s to the 1960s. He started as a Broadway actor in 1935 at the age of 15, and he spent 13 years on Broadway before making his first movie in 1948. Some of his movies include: The Search (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film); The Misfits, Red River, From Here to Eternity, and Judgment At Nuremberg (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). Sadly, during filming of 1957's Raintree County, Montgomery Clift was in a horrific car accident after leaving Elizabeth Taylor's house one evening (she and Rock Hudson reportedly pulled him from the car wreck, and she saved him from choking on his own teeth!). Sadly, in spite of several surgeries to his face, Clift's injuries were visible, and his health deteriorated after the crash, and he passed away in 1966 at the age of 45.
