Does anyone else think Montgomery Clift resembled Tom Cruise?:devil: Or that Tom Cruise resembles Montgomery Clift? Too bad he was gay and so tortured he drank and drank, then got in a hideous disfiguring accident, ruined his face, had mother issues, got so depressed from the accident he drank and drugged himself to death at the age of 45. This makes Tom Cruise look much more mentally healthy than Clift.
