An Original Vintage 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Stage Still (Learn More) 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. AND Lillian Hellman was a playwright, prose writer, and screenwriter from the 1930s to the 1980s. She was known for her success on Broadway, as well as her communist sympathies and political activism. She was blacklisted after her appearance before the House Committee on Un-American Activities (HUAC) at the height of the anti-communist campaigns of 1947 and 1952. Many praised Hellman for refusing to answer questions by HUAC, but others believed, despite her denial, that she had belonged to the Communist Party. She passed away in 1984 at the age of 79 Important Added Info: Note that this image was taken during rehearsals of the Broadway stage play "The Searching Wind", which was written by Lillian Hellman. The still features Montgomery Clift four years before he made his first movie, along with Lillian Hellman, Barbara O'Neill, Cornelia Otis Skinner, Dudley Digges, and Herman Shumkin! Condition: fair to good. The still has some retouching paint scattered throughout from when it was used in a magazine or newspaper, and there are also many creases. But fortunately, almost none of the defects are in the stars' faces. However, bear all of the above in mind before bidding. Learn More about condition grades
