I read this book about 10 years ago and Stix is reading it for the first time. We heard Bosworth speak at BAM during the Clift series in March 2010. ( ) A wonderful, insightful page turner about the life of this talented tourtured soul. He was a Movie Star and one of the great method actors to come out of the Actor's Studio. But more than that, he was a man with many faults, who hid his secrets from the world, but gave us his amazing body of film work. All credit goes to the author because this still stands as the definitive "MONTY" biography. Still the definitive Clift biography, with many primary-source interviews and a fascinating portrait of his mother and their deeply dysfunctional relationship. Overemphasizes the auto accident as the pivotal event in his suicide by attrition (he was in disastrous decline prior to that). Interesting and vivid cameo appearance by Clift himself, when Bosworth met him. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

"The definitive work on the gifted, haunted actor" (Los Angeles Times) and "the best film star biography in years" (Newsweek). From the moment he leapt to stardom with the films Red River and A Place in the Sun, Montgomery Clift was acclaimed by critics and loved by fans. Elegant, moody, and strikingly handsome, he became one of the most definitive actors of the 1950s, the first of Hollywood's "loner heroes," a group that includes Marlon Brando and James Dean. In this affecting biography, Patricia Bosworth explores the complex inner life and desires of the renowned actor. She traces a poignant trajectory: Clift's childhood was dominated by a controlling, class-obsessed mother who never left him alone. He developed passionate friendships with Marilyn Monroe and Elizabeth Taylor in spite of his closeted homosexuality. Then his face was destroyed after a traumatic car crash outside Taylor's house. He continued to make films, but the loss of his beauty and subsequent addictions finally brought the curtain down on his career. Stunning and heartrending, Montgomery Clift is a remarkable tribute to one of Hollywood's most gifted--and tormented--actors. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
