God, he was beautiful!!! Today's stars can't hold a candle to him except maybe Josh Hatnett, but not really.

I guess. Why should James Dean get all the worship, Clift was also a rebel.

He truly was a tasty sight. Why is it that all the good looking ones turn out to be so screwed up? Sigh...there but for the grace of God go I, I suppose.

What's all this "beautiful" shit? I mean, too each his own and all that jazz, but Monty Clift had very sharp, squinty features. Unsexy.
Beautiful, honey, was creamy delicious Tab Hunter (Where's THAT play, I'd like to know?) or hunky Aldo Ray (he of the big swinging dick) or sloe-eyed -- but way too short -- Sal Mineo. Male beauty of that era was better personified by lip-smackingly luscious lads like James Dean, John Gavin and even Tony Curtis. You wanted to fuck them. Monty Clift was only good for playing Parcheesi and taking painkillers.

Is Omar Prince the long-lost Persian brother of Faith Prince? Or the love child of Omar Sharif and Rosemary Prinz?

Is this the first time a Prince is playing a queen?

Do you remember the comment The Late Tallulah Bankhead made to Dorothy Parker when she asked if Monty was gay? "I don't know honey, he never sucked my cock."

Until his accident he was beautiful--you could not take your eyes off him but in my opinion he was a terrible actor. His bios claimed that due to his insecurity he always had a coach or his pal Libby Holman behind the camera giving him direction and driving the movie's real directors nuts.

A friend of mine who was a regular in NY gay bars in the late 50s and early 60s says he recalls hearing about Clift's carousing down in the Village and was known as "Princess Teeny Meat".

I was Montgomery Clift in my past life. I am still screwed up. That is all.

Who's going to play Jack Larson?

He's hot, hot , hot... I just anything even remotely connected to him. And many others do too.You rarely find such beauty now. Love you, Monty! RIP.

It was Princess TINY Meat, Dumbo. And, who cares what he was known as by some stupid, trashy queens? In "A Place In the Sun," he was GOD.

He may not have been beautiful... and yet, on camera, he looked stunning. He definitely had presence -- something Tab Hunter did NOT. Attractive yes, but as talented as a piece of wood (or possibly LESS talented).

I used Patricia Bosworth's biography of Monty obviously as my starting point, but I think you'll agree I've gone far beyond what she wrote about his ancestry.

I'd appreciate critiques, You can email me !

Thanks.

The pal behind the camera always supporting Monty was not Libby Holman, but Mira Rostova, who was also his confident and long time friend, and who would drive directors nuts.

I'm currently reading Patricia Bosworth's magnificent biography on Monty and I think Marlyn Monroe must have been 100% right when she said he was the only person more screwed up than her. But he was an absolutely brilliant actor and a dashing man!

He was a nice guy. He liked to be with men older than himself. Nothing wrong with that. He lived in a time when it was nearly impossible to be 'out' and in movies.

So, what happened to the play? Monty was excellent in A PLACE IN THE SUN and in FROM HERE TO ETERNITY, and very good in SUDDENLY, LAST SUMMER. Truly one of the great ones. He may have suffered from schizophrenia. God knows plenty of gay and bisexual actors had a gay old successful time in Hollywood without cracking up.

I FELT SORRY FOR MONTY IF HE WAS BORN LATER HE COULD HAVE BEEN CURED FROM HIS ACHES AND PAINS. AND WOULD HAVE COPED WITH HIS SEXUALITY. EXCELLENT ACTOR NICE PERSON AND A BEAUTIFUL LOOKER I DREAM ABOUT YOU MONTY RIP

the most beautiful man in the world.no man has been and will be so beautiful.

Hi there, I was wondering do you consider guest writers. I have been writing on this subject for quite a while now and would love to share my thoughts. Regards.

You not going to believe this but I have spent all day scrounging for some articles about this. I wish I knew of this site earlier, it was a essential read and really helped me out. Have a good one
