Closeted Hollywood legend Montgomery Clift starred in some of the gayest movies of the Hays Code era
The Search (his on-screen debut), in 1951 for American tragedy A Place In The Sun, and in 1953 for romance A Place In The Sun, plus a Best Supporting Actor nod in 1961 for courtroom drama Judgment At Nuremberg. That’s a pretty incredible track record!But behind all the plaudits and awards, Clift led a troubled life, plagued by alcohol and drug addiction and a car accident that nearly ended his career.
