Colorized Young Montgomery Clift c1936

Some old Hollywood stuff. Here's the young Montgomery Clift (1920 - 1966), taken in his late teens. Considered one of the most handsome actors to grace the screen, he was often paired with Elizabeth Taylor (Raintree Country, A Place in the Sun & Suddenly Last Summer) to create the loveliest couple on earth in the late 50s. Critically acclaimed in nearly all the pictures he starred and nominated 4 times in the Oscars for best actor, he was regarded by critics as the only one who directly competed against Marlon Brando as the most sought after leading man in the 50s. With his highly praised method acting, and his meticulous choice of roles, Elizabeth Taylor once said that had he lived longer, Montgomery Clift could have been the greatest actor of all time.
