Actor Montgomery Clift was known for his brooding, sensitive, working-class character roles, and received four Academy Award nominations during his career. He was in a stellar group which included James Dean, Marlon Brando and Paul Newman. Clift worked with some of the best including John Wayne, Elizabeth Taylor, Frank Sinatra, Marilyn Monroe, Marlon Brando and Spencer Tracy. Clift had numerous affairs with both men and women and it was because of this that Wayne refused to socialize with Clift because of Clift's bisexualtiy. One of the high points of Clift's carreer was landing the role of Private Robert E. Lee Prewitt in the Columbia Pictures film, "From Here To Eternity". He studied intensely for this film, especialy while staying at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel on Hollywood Blvd. He would pace endlessly and practise playing the Bugle for his part.
Three years after wrapping FHTE, Clift was working on the film "Raintree County" when he smashed his car into a telephone pole, shattering his jaw, nose and other bones in his face. A witness to the accident called Elizabeth Taylor who when arriving on the scene saw that Clift was choking to death on two teeth stuck in his throat. She saved his life. From that point on, though, Clift's carreer went downhill.
Clift continued to work for the next ten years but with the alledged use of pills and booze, Clift's death was once called "the longest suicide in Hollywood". Montgomerly Clift was found dead on Monday, July 22, 1966, in the bedroom of his New York City Townhouse, naked, lying on his back, his glasses on and his fists clenched. His body was taken to the City Morgue and after the autopsy it was concluded that Clift had died of a heart attack. He was 45.

Present day. A Guest of the Hollywood Roosevelt had been staying in room 928, the so called "Montgomery Clift Room". While sleeping soundly, he was suddenly awakened by the sound of footsteps pacing around, as if impatient. Other people have been awakened early in the morning by the sounds of someone playing a bugle...from Room 928, but when Management went to check on the supposedly empty room to see who was making all the racket, that's all they found. An empty room....with a slight coldness to it. If Monty's ghost still haunts Room 928 almost 43 years after he died, why?
