Movie Teen.- dic 1949

Entre 1949 y 1950, Monty fue portada y protagonista de multitud de reportajes de revistas de cine. De hecho, me ha llamado la atención, la cantidad de revistas juveniles y de cine que proliferaban en esta época. No todas eran de calidad, muchas enfocadas a un público juvenil como he comentado y más cercanas al fenómeno fan que a la crítica cinematográfica.

Ésta que nos ocupa es un buen ejemplo de ello dado el nombre de la revista, Movie Teen, y el reportaje de portada The boys you should not date!. De todas maneras, Monty Clift sale irresistiblemente atractivo y prometedor.

Este número salió en diciembre de 1949. Monty acababa de estrenar The Heiress y se encontraba rodando A place in the sun.

Éstos son los datos de la revista:

He was in his late 8's in his late 80's although nobody really knew how old he actually was. harry was an avid collector of vintage Hollywood magazines. He loved the 1920's and 1930's era and always dressed to the "hilt" adorned in attre from that era. Including appropiate hats, canes and colorful multi piece suits complete with suspenders and shoes to match, though he lived in Canada's most pretentious art district "Yorkville" harry would turn heads wherever he went in part because of his excesive cologne use. Harry Crampton was extremely friendly to all who knew him and passionate about both his collection and Hollywood stars. His unique specialness is missed by his friends and neighbors. He would be happy to know that his collection is being shared with other Hollywood collectors. Where the items can bring new life and beauty to their coleections.
