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 9.5 x 7.5 photo, an original publicity still from the 1953 Vittorio De Sica film Terminal Station, signed and inscribed in fountain pen, “To Peter, Monty Clift.” Corner bends, a few scattered dings and surface marks, and tiny abrasion to background, otherwise fine condition.
