Still the definitive Clift biography, with many primary-source interviews and a fascinating portrait of his mother and their deeply dysfunctional relationship. Overemphasizes the auto accident as the pivotal event in his suicide by attrition (he was in disastrous decline prior to that). Interesting and vivid cameo appearance by Clift himself, when Bosworth met him. ( )

Book description

Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0879101350, Paperback)

"...Because of Bosworth's artistry, her ability to choose the right details, and her own immersion in the subject...[this book] is an amazing excursion into a life." -New York Times Book Review "It stands as the definitive work on the gifted, haunted actor." -Los Angeles Times "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." -Elia Kazan
