Highly rare vintage blue ballpoint pen signature-- given as "Monty Clift," as was his custom-- on a roughly 2x4-inch off-white slip of paper, acquired in-person in the early 1950s and affixed to a 4x6-inch pink autograph album page. In good condition. Handsome leading man Montgomery Clift, who died so tragically of heart disease at the age of 45, played moody, sensitive outsiders and antiheroes in films like The Heiress (1949), A Place in the Sun (1951), Alfred Hitchcock's I Confess (1953), From Here to Eternity (1953), The Young Lions (1958), Suddenly, Last Summer (1959), The Misfits (1961), and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). He received four Oscar nominations during his brief lifetime.
