Montgomery Clift on Elizabeth Taylor: “You know how it is when you love somebody terribly but you can’t describe why? That’s how I love Bessie Mae.”
It’s a shame they didn’t or Monty didn’t go ahead and marry Liz, because she loved him I believe until the day
she died and she was faithful to him after the accident when he no longer could get any movie roles. she went
ahead and paid for his insurance as most of the studios claimed he was uninsurable.
If he had married her, she would have been good for him because she had a much stronger character, even though
she also had alcholoic and drug problems which were eventually overcome.
