"I felt, and I still feel, that he was a brilliant actor, a sensitive man, and an utter failure at moving from one place to another as a simple human being. I don't know why. He had so many gifts--perhaps he was burdened by them all. I don't know. Who knows anything? I was appalled at the ease so many displayed in throwing him aside; laughing at him; dismissing him. I wanted always to slap him, and then hold him close to me and beg him to get strong, get smart, get moving." --Katharine Hepburn on Montgomery Clift/Interview with James Grissom/1990/Photo of Hepburn taken by Clift on the set of "Suddenly, Last Summer"  #folliesofgod
