"Montgomery Clift (1920-1966) was one of the most innovative stars in the history of post-war Hollywood, an actor of stunning beauty and delicacy who inspired contemporaries like Marlon Brando and James Dean, and who was nominated four times for an Academy Award. A major part of his appeal resided in the fact that he was a different kind of star, one that represented vulnerability, rebellion and less orthodox ways of being a man. If anything, Clift's appeal deepened after his death as evidence emerged of his bisexuality; he had relationships with a number of men, and there were even rumours that he and Elizabeth Taylor had contemplated getting married. Turbulent and self-consuming, he was blighted by alcohol and drug addiction, and died, a relatively forgotten figure, a few months before his forty-sixth birthday."--BOOK JACKET.

His heyday was the decades of the 1950s and 1960s. He gained a unique and formidable reputation as a novelist, as an Orwellian chronicler and interpreter of the then unfamiliar worlds of the teenager, of rock 'n' roll, and of Britain's black community; and as a homosexual who combined prickliness and a dr...
Noel Coward's "The Vortex" is a seminal work of early 20th-century theatre, exploring themes of hedonism, familial dysfunction, and the tumultuous nature of relationships in a post-World War I society. Written in 1924, the play captivates with its sharp wit and incisive dialogue, embodying Coward's signature style of blending comedy and drama.
