A four-time Academy Award nominee, Edward Montgomery Clift made his mark in movies essaying roles as “moody, sensitive young men,” according to The New York Times. He rates alongside James Dean and Marlon Brando as one of the three outstanding, original method actors in such great films as Judgment at Nuremberg (1961), Red River (1948), From Here to Eternity (1953), A Place in the Sun (1951), and The Misfits (1961).
