On May 12, 1956, Elizabeth Taylor saved Montgomery Clift’s life.

May 12, 1956.
A foggy night in Beverly Hills.
Montgomery Clift — the most beautiful face in Hollywood and a pioneer of method acting — crashed his car into a telephone pole. His face was shattered. His jaw was broken. Two teeth had fallen back into his throat. He was choking to death.
Elizabeth Taylor was hosting a dinner party nearby.
When she heard the crash, she ran into the dark road in her evening dress and heels. She crawled through the wreckage, reached into Clift’s bleeding mouth, and pulled out the teeth blocking his airway.
Elizabeth Taylor saved Montgomery Clift’s life.
What happened next changed everything.
Clift returned to filming just nine weeks later — but his face was no longer the same. The left side was partially paralyzed. His perfect features were gone. Insurance companies refused to cover him. Directors questioned his reliability. Hollywood, once obsessed with his beauty, began to turn away.
This is the documented true story of Montgomery Clift — the revolutionary actor who changed American cinema, the man Elizabeth Taylor called her soulmate, and the tragic accident that destroyed Hollywood’s most famous face.
