July 23, 1966 –
The “longest suicide in Hollywood” finally came to a sad on this date,
with the death of Montgomery Clift of a heart attack brought on by his severe drug and alcohol addictions.
After his near-fatal car accident in 1956, (in which, Elizabeth Taylor saved the actor from choking to death by removing two teeth lodged in his throat) Montgomery Clift stumbled through life in a haze of pain and professional disappointments. Clift still managed to turn in some amazing performances during this period
(That’s Montgomery Clift, honey!)
He is now the most famous ‘resident‘ of Quaker Cemetery in Prospect Park Brooklyn.
And so it goes
