Birthday Roll Call: October 17th

I was amazed at how many classic stars were celebrating birthdays today. I just thought Rita Hayworth was the only one but there are tons more. I did a post for Jean Arthur over on my Screwball Cinema, so I'm listing all the other stars who are also celebrating their birthday today. Here we go:

MONTGOMERY CLIFT (1920-1966)

Notable films: From Here To Eternity, The Heiress, Raintree Country

JULIE ADAMS (1926 - present)

Notable films: The Creature From The Black Lagoon, Away All Boats

He's been my #3 guy for a long time; however, just recently, I pushed him down to 4, because with all the Robert Ryan I've been watching, Ryan had to move up from #6. So, Monty's now my #4 guy...which is still very high on my list. My favorite of his films is A Place in the Sun, which is about my #3 movie of all time.

I will be watching Lonelyhearts in celebration of Monty's birthday. It's one of his post-accident works, so it makes me sad to watch it since his face was so altered by his accident. But he's still a very good actor, and since #3 guy Robert Ryan stars in this one with him, that makes it even better.

Have a great evening,
