APLOMB BOOKS

As matinee idols go, Montgomery Clift had the looks, the personality and the acting talent to climb to the top of the heap as one of Hollywood's leading men of the 1950s. Tackling westerns like 'The Search,' suspense pictures like 'I Confess,' war films like 'From Here to Eternity,' to romance and drama in films like 'A Place in the Sun' and 'The Heiress,' Clift had it all.

 

However, having it all was not everything it was cracked up to be for this complex man. Struggling with stardom and his place in the limelight, Clift loved acting, but hated Hollywood. He shunned the spotlight and avoided Tinsel Town.
