| + | Montgomery's first professional stage appearance was at the age of 13 in a local theater show Sarasota, [[Florida]]. But within a few years, he began appearing regularly on Broadway in New York City, [[New York]]. After several favorable reviews, Hollywood wanted him, but he rejected many offers looking for just the right vehicle. This would be a constant theme in Clift's career — that he refused to perform in "trashy" productions, which to his mind, were most of them, only seeking the very best which he thought could show his talent and range without typecasting him. | ||
