Not sure about Clift. Can't remember any films of his. Wouldn't recognise him. There's probably a You Must Remember This podcast about him.
Speaking of which, y'all should listen to it if you're interested in these icons. The last one I heard was about Ida Lupino, who I think It would be correct to describe as a forgotten icon. Then there's actors such as Kay Francis and Robert Taylor and endless others who were matinee idols but pretty much forgotten these days
Clift has been in more films that I love than James Dean and Marlon Brando combined but I agree, he is not as iconic a star as the were/are. I've always been a huge fan of his though. He predates them as the first of the stars who were method actors, but his performances were never as showy than theirs. The Search, A Place in the Sun, Far From Eternity, Terminal Station, I Confess, The Heiress, Red a River, Suddenly Last Summer, Wild River, The Misfits and Freud are all great or at least very interesting and often unusual Hollywod films.
You Must Remember This is brilliant, it's as good as anything on classic Hollywood ever written. Karina Longworth has a knack for digging out the far more complex truth behind the myths and legends. The current series is on Joan Crawford and she makes a great case for her having been far more than the camp harpy Mommie Dearest turned her into. Every episode of that podcast is a highlight of the week for me.
