Highly regarded American actor (1920–1966) best known for his Oscar-nominated turns in such classics as Judgment at Nuremberg, From Here to Eternity, and A Place in the Sun. A 1956 car accident which left him disfigured set him on a downward spiral of substance abuse that earned him a reputation for unreliability and led to his death at the age of 45. Scarce vintage glossy 8 x 10 publicity photo of Clift from Alfred Hitchcock’s I Confess, signed and inscribed in fountain pen “To Jim, Monty Clift.” In very good condition, with scattered light surface marks and impressions, small mounting remnants on reverse showing through at corners, and a light central vertical bend passing through Clift’s face.
