Montgomery Clift Home - New York City

Montgomery Clift's home is on East 61st Street in New York City.  The actor lived in this townhouse from 1960 until he died in 1966.  After his debilitating car accident in 1956, his career was never the same.  Not only was he physically damaged but emotionally as well.  He began to rely more and more on drugs and alcohol to sooth his demons and was considered all but unemployable due to his addictions, his unreliability and his difficulty to work with.  During his time here he made The Misfits (1961), Judgment At Nuremberg (1961), Freud (1962) and his final film, The Defector, filmed in early 1966.  On July 27, 1966 he was found dead here in his bedroom, by his personal nurse, from what was determined to be a heart attack.  The townhouse originally had been a gift from Theodore Roosevelt to his daughter Alice Roosevelt Longworth as a wedding present in 1906.  The funeral was held at St. James' Church and he was buried in the Friends Quaker Cemetery in Brooklyn's Prospect Park.
