![What's My Line? - Montgomery Clift; Peter Cook [panel] (Jan 20, 1963)](/img/n.gif)
Boy I love real life stories
That was 65 years ago. I heard the story over the years and will try to watch documentary on him. So tough on Elizabeth to grab his teeth like that probaby saved his life. Thanks for sharing.
The song " Right Profile " by the Clash says it all
Very courageous of her, most people would be scared to put their hand in an injured person's mouth.
The thing about the injuries he suffered, MGM absolutely rushed his time in the hospital; rushed any "therapy", they didn't let the Dr's. do any extensive work, (made them wait which was fatal for correcting the conditions) because they wanted him back in front of those cameras to finish Raintree County-- it was a hugely expensive production. One side of his face was left paralyzed and some people have theorized that was due to the rush job the surgeons/doctors were told to do by the studio. Of course, he was in terrible pain and pills were provided. Got him hooked.
Regardless of whatever or whoever said to the Surgeons to “Hurry up” there’s no way they would have rushed any Surgery…. Law suits up the Yinyan!!!
very sad very very sad
@@nigelbeaumont1109 that was a very different time and studios basically owned their actors. Just look at what they did to poor Judy Garland!!! 😥
@@juliefreds4594 what they do to her? Ik what they did to Shirley Temple
Unfortunately with MGM (Judy Garland and others) and all studios it was ALWAYS about the Money. If you come back please see my post.
He had that car flying. My adoptive Dad worked for John Warner when Liz was married to John and I heard Liz talk about this very accident! Remember this was 1956 and cars were made of real steel and metals not plastic so to wreck it that bad he had to be flying and misjudged the curve. It's fortunate that he wasn't hurt any worse than he was.
Looking at the damage to the car, I'm surprised he didn't knock the pole over.
Totally agree! 20 mph limit now so he had to be going way over that on a treacherous road he didn't know at night. Was he trying to keep up with McCarthy?? Certainly McCarthy could not have been going slowly with Clift following apparently at high speed. Wonder if McCarthy had been drinking, not watching his speed?
Right, cars back then did not even have seat belts, but they were built like a panzer tank. i could not tell the model of the car from that smashed up angle. but it looked like a 1956 buick roadmaster. i could be wrong.
@@jodyguilbeaux8225 '55 Chevy
Yeah, but today's cars are much safer. Being that rigid isn't good in a collision.
In 1977 I hit a wooden utility pole going 115 mph in a 1970 Oldsmobile 88. Call me the luckiest person alive. I walked away with a small cut on forehead. I believe the speed is what saved me cause the heavy steel car went through the pole as if it wasn’t there. The car traveled for many feet then rolled over on its side. I was safe on floor. All the windows were smashed, the car was mangled. It was the most horrible noise then total darkness and silence. I remember screaming out loud, I don’t want to die! (17 years old) I didn’t know if I was alive or dead. Start feeling my face, my body, the car seats, etc. I still don’t know why I was spared.
My wife and I in 1999 rolled over 3 times in a rental on I-10 in West Texas.
One scratch on my ankle between the 2 of us!
My only explanation is seat belts & angels.
You lucky boy.
He passed when my husband was exactly 2 days old. My first car was a Oldsmobile Delta 88 BECAUSE my parents wanted me surrounded by metal with my first car. Wish they still made them like that!
Thanks for setting the record straight on Montgomery Clift. So much speculation has done him injustice. Elizabeth loved passionately in many ways. 💜 💖. As Rock Hudson once said, She Loves People. This was clearly demonstrated in her legacy of fight against AIDS and her devotion to those close to her like Monty. Also enjoyed trip through Beverly Hills (memories 😃) and seeing Elizabeth's home at the time.
Elizabeth Taylor was a fking curse on any man who was attracted to her. From Clift, to Burton, and ultimately to JACKSON. She had a gift for driving men to an early grave.......
Sounds and looks like that pole actually saved his life. It was the only barrier between the road and the cliff - I doubt he could have survived that fall. Very cool - thanks, Scott!
Is the pole the same one Monty actually hit? Or did the collision damage the pole and a replacement was installed in the exact spot?
@@rollydoucet8909 That’s a good question. I’m sure the poles used then are still solid enough to take the impact of modern vehicles, but the vehicles in 1956 were solid in their own rights too. A pole right there more than likely saved his life at the moment.
Or else Montgomery would have gone over the Cliff...t
Cliff wouldve went over the cliff
@@vicvega3614 It's Clift tough
I loved Montgomery Clift in all of his movies. This was so interesting.
He was Gay
@@angelamary9493 I know. Nothing wrong with that.
@@happytrails699 didn't say it was ..I'm in my 70s ..seen alot of changes in my lifetime ...some not so good
@@happytrails699 Marilyn Monroe ..Shelly Winters were gay as well ...morals have changed ...God's laws don't ...
Wow that road is so narrow and curved, I wouldn't want to be on it in good or bad weather. How horrible.
I live in a very flat area and am amazed at these hilly roads and houses that are staggered on a hillside. I've never seen anything like it in real life.
@@quickflip7185 Last area I want to live in CA> when the big one hits! Those homes will all crumble/tumble down the hillsides.
omggg, it looks a little like here in Puerto Rico. when driving I avoid taking roads like this one. prefer highway 🛣.
Yeap..narrow canyon roads suck...that's why its tough to get out of those roads when they have CA brush fires or heavy rains and the ground get soaked it becomes a mud slide...im sure driving at night is not a good thing if a person is walking or jogging with no sidewalks hopefully not drunk.
That's how the Hollywood royalty keep the riff-raff out!
There’s nothing like an actual reenactment to make you feel like you’re part of the story and you know so many facts and anecdotes. love it 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
He must have been traveling at quite a high speed, looking at the damage to the car. They were built like tanks back in the 50's & 60's. He is lucky that he didn't go over the side which would have been deadly. Great video. Thanks!
Things we should have now because of stupid drivers
Old cars were NOT, NOT as sturdy as everyone always seems to think! Most modern cars are far safer, pretty much any
@@beverlyarcher3744 If cars were still built like that, then we would have less idiot drivers... because they would actually be dead. Old cars may have been heavy but they are beyond horrendous in crashes
It was very interesting seeing the actual crash site, the story makes more sense when you can see where is happened. Elizabeth Taylor, what a great gal she was and a great friend
to Monty. I will watch the documentary. I liked him.
She sure was great! It was a pleasure to be able to spend time with someone so famous. All of her career she was about helping and caring for others. No matter how badly she hurt she always showed a smile. I miss her greatly 😔
Thank you so much for the story , Monty was a fabulous actor as well as being so gorgeous….. sad that he had to go thru so many surgeries. He and Liz Taylor made a movie together , they were gorgeous together Liz accepted but more importantly loved Monty in spite of all the complications in his life--thank you again for this story hopefully fans won’t forget Montgomery Clift. RIP
They can’t know for sure exactly where is was and which pole. Do you really think that’s the same pole from 1956? Just because there’s a transformer on doesn’t mean it’s THE pole.
So true. And as far as Elizabeth Taylor goes she seemed like an all around beautiful person. She was also friends with James Dean who died in a fatal crash. So it seems like the pretty gay boys were drawn to her. And not for her looks, but because she was just a good person. And I wouldn't want to live in this neighborhood. This road is just plain dangerous.
@@thomashumphrey48 Yes, I read this too. But whatever happened back then, I think it's fair to say that these icons belong to the annals of history now. Very few, if any, people are alive who knew them, walked, talked and ate with them are still around to tell the story. All we can do now is research and go by what was written or documented. But I do believe in my heart of hearts that had James Dean lived he would have been an out spoken advocate for and against a lot of social issues. Like racism, gay marriage, women's rights etc. Based on what I've read he hated the idea of the rich and powerful taking advantage of the little guy, because that's what was done to him. Unfortunately the world will never know.
Those people fly down this road! I’m surprised there’s not more bad accidents.
This was really interesting. That's certainly a road you have to be alert the whole way down.
Yeah. That is a dangerous road. You couldn’t pay me enough money ti live on it, or live in a home hanging over a cliff. I’ve been on those roads for decades, and looking at the many homes built n stilts pounded aways below the back end of the homes gets to me every time. Besides, I like backyards. 😬
It’s probably not too much of a problem if speeds are kept low at that point. But yeah, that one utility pole is well to the inside of the guardrail!
Such a sad story. Thank god his vehicle didn’t go over the cliff. It sounds as though Elizabeth Taylor May have saved his life by preventing him from choking. Interesting, thank you.
he would have been re branded as, Montgomery 'over' the Clifft.
You know, Elizabeth Taylor was way more than the sex toy siren all the tabloids loved to play up, she was a very caring person and a strong person.
If your not against it, your for it. And then, you are one in the same.
How do you know that? You can only know what she was really like if you knew her personally which you didn't.
@@60toodles It took you a year, yet here you are. Been waiting for you to come along and make a snide comment. Maybe she was my aunt, maybe she was a friend of my parents, but then you couldn't know that unless you knew me, which you don't.
It is crazy that he could be going fast enough to cause that much damage on that small, windy road in such a big, sturdy tank of a car.
But he was! That's why he misjudged the curve.
Those cars only looked like tanks- they offered almost no protection in an accident.
You have to remember, this was in the time before seat belts, padded dashboards, and especially collapsible steering columns. Passenger safety was merely an afterthought. The forces generated in even a low speed impact were enough to cause devastating injuries in many instances.
@@perryneum my
@@perryneum For 1970s fwd car safety laws to end or far reduce "Unsafe at Any Speed," we all may thank ameliorist activist author Ralph Nader.
Its lovely when you show us where famous people lived and their accidents happened. What a beautiful area this is? I can imagine you’d have to earn big bucks to live out there? The jasmine looked amazing, I bet it smelled divine. ❤️
It's chilling to see that the same exact pole is still up. You'd think it'd be replaced by now. That road is terrifying. I would be scared to drive that, especially at night.Poor Monty. One of my the most fascinating and talented people in Hollywood.
Trust me, that is NOT the same pole. It's been replaced at least twice since the crash.
Poor Monty. 😔 And he only lived another 10 years after that? It’s such a shame. Too young for either the accident or his death! I doubt he ever truly recovered inwardly from the accident let alone outwardly. Poor soul, I hope he is at peace now.
I've owned the movie Raintree County for years. The changes in Clift's face partway through the movie are there, yes, but they really aren't that noticeable. You don't notice, because it's a great, great movie, very engrossing.... Eva Marie Saint, Liz Taylor, Lee Marvin....terrific story set during the Civil War. Montgomery Clift's performance is superb...what I mean is, you never see him ACT. He was one of the very Best!
And Eva Marie Saint (97) is still with us all the others long passed.
I heard about the accident from the brilliant CLASH song "the right profile" it's on the London Calling album ,a great song that explains. what happened really well , LOVE from Liverpool England.Scott😎
This is great and very informative. Well done. Monty probably wasn't a very good driver, and driving a rented car can be tricky too. The interesting tidbit of the swerving headlights make me wonder if Monty might have not been trying to light a cigarette while driving and lost control. Just to think if he had gone a little slower or just spent the night at Elizabeth's house and drive back in the light of day, he wouldn't have had the life changing accident. A few seconds completely changed his life.
I thought Laurel Canyon was bad until I drove this road one night...in the rain....
😱
I wonder how many more times that pole has been hit over the years. Surely he wasn't the only one. The pole nearly sits on the roadway. Loved the drive, Scott!
The original pole was replaced after the accident. He nearly sheared it in two.
@@autobug2 That makes a lot of sense. I was left with the impression that this was THE pole. Instead, this was where THE pole used to be :)
@@Anothertominohio There's usually some sort of date tag or stamp on utility poles. Not always easy to decipher though depending on the utility company.
Very interesting as always
The Clash...... Right Profile
Your videos are fascinating!!! I love each one. You are like an encyclopedia of Hollywood history….. thank you for sharing your knowledge with me!
Great subject, Tragic accident.
A friend's mom worked for the Dentist in N.Y. who did his dental reconstruction after the accident.
Doris Smith, she was the receptionist.
She said when he came in for his appointments, he would tease her and dramatically coo lines or pieces of scenes to her.
She loved it of course!
She said he was fun & kooky and nice.
Rest in peace Doris & Montgomery ♡☆♡☆
That's great! Thank you for sharing that
Wow, thanks Scott, I never knew where this was exactly. I will definitely check this out someday. Always wondered where the Patty Duke house was too.
Elizabeth Taylor was truly a great friend. I’m sure there’s more to this accident but we will never ever know! RIP Monty and Mrs Taylor!
Eye-roll. You’ve never been to that area of LA- clearly.
She loved Montgomery as a brother. She had many relationships with gay men as friends. She was tge best of Hollywood
I've traveled that canyon road. It's a horror show, day or night.@@suzzzzzzy
Mrs Taylor lol
Great job Scott as always attention to every detail , thanks for taking us along 👍👍👍👍👍
I would LOVE for you to do a piece on the death of Vicki Morgan. That story is so LA.
Scott You always make my day better! Thank You!
Peerless reportage documenting the tragic history of Hollywood.
Hi Scott, how are you? You really did a wonderful job on this story. My mother and I saw a movie with Montgomery Clift when I was a little girl. My mother told me good things about him. I enjoyed his acting very much. I'm so sorry he's gone. He died so young. I was going on 4-years-old when Montgomery passed away. I really love the stories you tell about celebrities that are no longer with us. Please, keep doing what you're doing. Take care.
I would be surprised if that was “the same pole“. Assuming it hadn’t been ruined in the crash, certainly 6 1/2 decades has rendered that pole from the 50s no longer fit for service. I would not be surprised to learn that the power company has a regular retirement and replacement schedule for poles.
it's not the pole but it takes the same space. Old joke used for other objects.
I've been around since the Fifties and my pole hasn't been retired yet. 😂
He is just guessing on which pole that Clift hit. That transformer could have been installed by the electric company in the 70's or 80's. Fake news!
Could be the same pole if it wasn't damaged. The utility pole in front of my house has been there without being replaced since I moved in in 1959.
Love these vlogs! Thank you Mr Michaels!
Well done. Very informative and no silly music. Very professional.
Fascinating as usual. I sort of held my breath as I watched this. I'd like to add that the road was pitch dark, from accounts
That's right, no lights whatsoever, he could probably hardly see McCarthy's car in front given the small lights they had in those days
I loved this video! Have always been fascinated with Montgomery Clift, and it was so interesting to see this video, especially after reading about the accident so much. After listening to you, I found Making Montgomery Clift on Tubi. I have read books on his life, and I was glad to see that he was not this very dark, tormented and unhappy person he’s always been made out to be. I highly recommend the documentary! Thanks again for the great video; love your commentaries, you have such a soothing voice!
I agree he just has this pathos. He doesn’t have to say a lot in his films he speaks through his expressions.
The clouds at 6:47 are amazingly beautiful!
They are like a Michelangelo painting
I am always amazed at what a wonderful job you do on your vids. You’re a great story teller. They’re just top drawer. Thank you, sir.
Great actor! Never heard about the terrible accident! You always teach me something interesting! Thank you! 😊
I can't thank you enough for sharing that beautifully done video explaining IN TRUTH what and how the accident happened.
I too, remember thinking by all the reports that he was drunk or under the influence of drugs and was very happy to know this wasn't the case.
I loved him and to also hear he was NOT the tortured soul that some people said he was.
God bless Elizabeth who may have saved his life by helping dislodge his teeth to
help him breath.
It was a GREAT VIDEO!!!
THANKS AGAIN
I really enjoyed this video , I love seeing the actual sites you are talking about and feel like I'm sitting in the car with you , I'm going to find the documentary, thanks Scott x
I love your vlogs ! I also have the death calendar i look forward to that daily 😊 i wanted to send you a smile all the way from R.I.
Very interesting to get a first-hand account from Kevin McCarthy about Montgomery Clift's near-fatal accident.
He was good in everything. Thank you, Scott!
Thank you for sharing this and taking us along with you. Scott I love your videos
Your videos are always interesting and informative. I had heard this before but you always include all the details.
I’d say the best Montgomery Cliff documentary ever and I’m happy to know that he wasn’t the tortured soul that many say he was
Always a great storyteller, thank you
This was an awesome video Scott I really enjoyed it and I love the history lesson thank you so much
Love your content Scott, please keep up the fascinating work.
Thanks for sharing!
I liked Montgomery Clift. I still watch his movies to this day. I was a little girl, when he died. May he rest in peace. ✝️🌷
I'm glad u got off that road. Scary.😒
Thanks for the tour, tho.
Another great video Scott. All very interesting. Thank you.👍😊👏👏👏
Love your videos (not the tragedy) but the videos & information you put into them. Thank you !! Did not know any of this about Montgomery Cliff but I loved "Raintree County". Now I gotta find it & see if I can see the changes.
Just fascinated with your channel and your wonderful way of telling the story. MC was lucky...wow!!
Thank you, for sharing this..
Thank you for sharing this. I loved Montgomery Clift. He was one of my favorite actors
Elizabeth Taylor and Montgomery Clift were very, very close friends and she always tried to help him. He called her "Bessie May" which seems so funny considering how beautiful Elizabeth was. Kevin McCarthy and Monty had been friends since their early stage careers in NYC.
I love your revisiting these old Hollywood places of interest Scott! That pole looks like it has a lot going on. I'd imagine the locals were none too thrilled to be without power that day.
Thank you for this detailed walking tour. I remember reading about this just a few years ago, and my mind's eye of the golden age of Hollywood had the setting much different. Luxurious homes with lush lawns and wide curving roads through lush hills. I was totally wrong! Well, I got the curves right. Great show. Thanks again for this. RIP Monte and Liz
Great video, Scott.
Another great one! Thank you! I can’t wait for you and Mike to do a podcast on the curse of Benedict Canyon🖤
A nice way to start the morning.
Listen to The Clash, "Right Profile"... it's a song about him and what happened..snappy tune 👍🤖🎸
Another great video! We parked right across the street from the Patty Duke home. Took a bunch of pics. Wish we had known about the telephone pole. Next trip I guess. Thanks also Scott for clearing up the doom and gloom bs Hollywood tried to put on Monty’s legacy as well. That new Monty doc. is fantastic! I highly recommend it.
That road reminds me of the one that leads to Mountain Lake Resort in Virginia, where part of "Dirty Dancing" was filmed. Narrow, with twists, turns, and steep drop-offs.
Great video, Scott. Such interesting 🧐 information. What a talented but tormented genius poor Montgomery Clift was. Keep up the great work!
He had to be traveling at a pretty good speed to do that kind of damage to the car and himself. Was McCarthy speeding down, forcing Clift to try and keep up, maybe? Treacherous, indeed!
Speed yes! That's why he overshot the curve and caught the pole
The newspaper article @6:12 says that Rock Hudson and his wife were also at the small dinner party
Yes, I remember that too from Larry King's interview of the former Mrs Rock Hudson.
That car must have been going very fast to get so smashed up as it did! Cars built back then were like tanks!!
Going to try find the documentary now
Listen to the song "Right Profile" by The Clash... it's all about this story....
Grr there is only few little clips on ut, can't find full...
Making Monty... It's called
Looks really good 👌
Poor man that the big studio heads rushed him through everything just for a film. Those studio heads were scary people back then compared to now days.
Thank you for another interesting video Scott, this one being about Montgomery Cliff.
Wow. Love seeing these famous sites! Thank you
Only just found your video. I thoroughly enjoyed the content and the detailed facts in this video. Great job. New subscriber.
I was on a Pizza Delivery one night on Summit Ridge Drive on the BH side. At about 9:30 pm, garbage night, I thought was a coyote . No . Long white tip tail. Short stubby white face running out of my headlight beams and up a driveway, FAST ! It was a Cougar !
A very interesting account, thank you. Of course Clift was practically a household name among us oldsters; I’ve seen most of his films. But you piqued my imagination and thus did some delving into Clift’s life and times. More interesting stuff. Again, thanks for reporting these long-forgotten names as only you can do.
So glad to hear the real story which makes much more sense that it was not a life of depression and substance abuse. Thank you for setting the record straight so we know he was not miserable.
Great video Scott
You make the best & most interesting videos. I look forward to them.
Merci de continuer à le faire vivre à travers une enquête pour nous faire comprendre comment cela s'est passé.
C'est un acteur formidable qu'ont oublieras pas de si tôt!
What a fascinating story. Those roads are narrow, and probably worse at night. Don't know if there were street lights. Surprised he got more work after the accident than before. I always learn something new with your vids. Hope there will be more.
Jeez. There are no orange reflective, or any any precautions for the utility pole! I can imagine it gets crazy dark too.
So enjoying these videos and do, so much information,, and research from you, abs you have a very calming voice, a great story teller,, done with respect,, so sad all the deaths that have occurred, r I p x
I love your content. You and Jordan are like walking Old Hollywood encyclopedias. Thank you so much for sharing the stories. May God bless and watch over you both always!🙏❤️
Thank you! Very informative 👏
Monty died so young and only lived 10 years after the accident. Too bad cars back then didn't have seat belts or airbags. It may have saved his face had more safety features been in cars in the 1950s.
For 1970s fwd car safety laws to end or far reduce "Unsafe at Any Speed," we all may thank ameliorist activist author Ralph Nader.
@@JudgeJulieLit unsafe at any speed was naders criticism of the chevy corvair (a rear engine, rear wheel drive car) which has nothing at all to do with front wheel drive cars. I drive a 2007 Mercury that has rear wheel drive. Your ignorance is astounding, and even more bizarre that you are so willing to show it to the world.
@@nastybastardatlive "Unsafe at any speed" was the title of Nader's bestseller book, and so too his summary evaluative slogan that prompted US Congress to enact national auto safety law to mandate across all auto brands and models seat belts, and auto manufacturers to devise air bags, which like seat belts have saved countless lives. That you drive rear wheel is your bizarre choice.
Seat belts were available on some automobiles by the mid-1950s, but most customers were indifferent to their safety benefits. Even after federal regulations required seat belts in American cars starting with the 1968 model year, many drivers and passengers simply refused to use them.
@@apexjoe4769 You're right. Even when new safety items are provided, it takes time for the idea to catch on when one has driven for years without them. My 68' Mustang has lap belts for all 4 seats. It also has shoulder belts for the 2 front seats, but they are a separate belt that are tucked and stored along the roofline when not in use. One has to physically bring it down and connect it to a second seat belt clip. Although it only takes a few seconds, I doubt people today would bother to use them. Then, there is the fire issue with the gas tank that is unprotected in the event of a hard rear end collision. I added a aftermarket steel barrier between the trunk and backseat area.
Why would anyone want to live in such a horrible place. What a death trap road.
Just for the view, I guess
Wow. I noticed that Monty's death certificate was signed by Michael Baden who is/was a very famous coroner.
Saw that too.
that is one narrow curvy street where the hill is straight down drop, the nice big old 50s cars so heavy as those makes were didn’t have variable transmissions so you had to drive like a snail to make those turns; I luv Montgomery Cliff he was so handsome and debonair, thank you Scott for a great vlog 👍🏻
great info and enjoyed it. thank you
Thank You it was very educational straight to the point, I think Mr. Clift was a natural actor may he RIP!
What a superb video Scott, cheers from Down Under x
Monty talent remains legendary. Dreadful shame his life was closeted.
Monty's face broken on a wheel
Gay actors had to be closeted because their career depended on a hetero relationship for movies. No one ever heard of a gay themed movie back then. It was unheard of.
@@philipancell516 nobody cares today for such films either
Monty was so lovely and one of the best actors ever. I really love his films, and my favourite of his films is "A Place In The Sun". I have read books about him, and they say he took pills and drank to ease the constant pain. It's heartbreaking what happened to him. John Houston was awful to Monty while they made a film together. What is sad is that he stopped drinking and was doing exercises but died of the heart attack. He had a twin sister and a brother.
Oh yes you are so right….a place in the Sun movie. Wonderful. I loved the Heiress….he was wonderful and so bad guy in that movie. Loved this poor tragic wonderful actor. A beautiful man.
Great video, I always wanted to learn more about what happened. I remember just reading it messed up his face and jaw and there wasn't much detail in how or where it happened. Thanks for these videos
Read the Monty bio by Robert LaGuardia.
I never knew he was in a car smash; lucky he survived, great actor and good looking guy, thanks for putting this up and I’ve subscribed. He was great in ‘From Here To Eternity’
U have to admire Scott's 🥺 commitment to facts and sharing his sources🎉bc that's the mark of a reliable reporter. 😮
I'm sure that is a different pole and that was a 56 Chevy and he obviously was going faster than the speed limit because of the damage
Shoot his right Profile
It was a 1955 Chevrolet
