An Original Vintage Theatrical Autographed Deluxe 8 1/4" x 10 1/4" [21 x 26 cm] Movie Key Book Still (Learn More) Montgomery Clift (born Edward Montgomery Clift) was an actor from the 1940s to the 1960s. He started as a Broadway actor in 1935 at the age of 15, and he spent 13 years on Broadway before making his first movie in 1948. Some of his movies include: The Search (nominated for the Best Actor Academy Award for this film); The Misfits, Red River, From Here to Eternity, and Judgment At Nuremberg (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film). Sadly, during filming of 1957's Raintree County, Montgomery Clift was in a horrific car accident after leaving Elizabeth Taylor's house one evening (she and Rock Hudson reportedly pulled him from the car wreck, and she saved him from choking on his own teeth!). Sadly, in spite of several surgeries to his face, Clift's injuries were visible, and his health deteriorated after the crash, and he passed away in 1966 at the age of 45. Important Added Info: Note that this key book still has been personally autographed (signed) by Montgomery Clift! Our consignor is a longtime dealer who acquired this signed item among many other purchases in his inventory, and he does not have a certificate of authenticity, but we believe the signature to likely be authentic. Note that this still is a key book still, printed on a deluxe heavyweight paper stock. Many studios spent extra money to have their most special photos, the key book stills, either backed with linen or printed on a heavy paper, both of which enhanced their durability. They had an extra 1" at the left or top, with punch holes, because of how they were stored. Key book stills are far more rare than regular stills, which has increased their popularity among collectors, since only a few keybooks were manufactured per film, and a key book still is guaranteed to be authentic. Someone trimmed away the extra 1" from the top of the still. As is true of all the signed items we are currently auctioning, we give every buyer 30 days in which to review what they purchased and they can return any item as long as it is within 30 days of the end of the auction. On non-signed items, we give a "lifetime guarantee" on everything we auction, but on signed items, we give the above modified guarantee of 30 days after the auction closes. Condition: very good. The top 1" was neatly trimmed off (see above). There are thin strips of clear tape on the back of the center of each border, where it was once attached to a mat. Otherwise, the still is in nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
