What People Are Saying

Eleanor Perry

A hypnotizing story of self destruction pushed to its inevitable limits…a shocker, can't be put down.

Elia Kazan

Here it is —the real thing—inside Montgomery Clift. I've known other actors as well, but none with such a harrowing tale. I kept wondering, could Patricia Bosworth have been there? Everywhere? The book is that vivid and intimate.

Garson Kanin

With the courage of indiscretion, [Bosworth] gives us a full length portrait…the meteoric, brilliant, enigmatic and ultimately hapless Monty has lucked out at last…in death, he found the perfect biographer.

Gerald Frank

…the definitive biography. Patricia Bosworth has made an inquiry into the hidden life of Montgomery Clift, and for the first time uncovered as well the secret that tormented his mother and helps to explain their extraordinary relationship. The result is a life that is a once devastating and moving—the passage through hell of a gifted actor, a man maddened by his homosexuality even as he was driven to live with the truth.

Gore Vidal

Thanks to the intelligence and industry of Patricia Bosworth, the haunted and harrowing life of Montgomery Clift is fixed forever in her fine biography—a story almost as resonant of a time and place as that of Dreiser's doomed character whom Clift played so beautifully in A Place in the Sun…a compelling job.

Molly Haskell

An enthralling book…it reads like a first rate novel.

Editorial Reviews

Rosalyn Drexler

…because of [Bosworth's] artistry, her ability to chose the right details, and her own total emersion in the subject…[This book] is an amazing excursion into a life.
—Rosalyn Drexler, New York Times Book Review
