Hereby Monsters is a podcast about facing the unknown.

I start to float away from the earth.

Have you ever smoked crack before?

We're all kind of frantically searching for meeting.

They have the neurotransmitters. I think we're all

juggles in some way. Yeah, we're not broken. Crazed delinquents. We're in our

last day, young man. Listen to Here Be Monsters, the podcast about the unknown on the KCRW iTunes page.

From the Independent Producer Project of KCRW and KCRW.

I'm Bob Carlson and this is UnFictional.

UnFictional is a program of stories and personal documentaries and today on the program a very strange story of a mentor and his protégé

The actor Montgomery Clift made films through the 50s and 60s like a place in the sun from here to eternity

Judgment at Nuremberg who was a heart throb and there were rumors he was dating Elizabeth Taylor

But really Monty was gay. He had to hide his real

self for the sake of his career like a lot of actors back then. Then in 1956 he had a

horrific car crash and his career was never the same.

He got addicted to alcohol and painkillers.

He died in 1966 mostly because of the alcoholism.

According to some people, he'd always been tortured and depressed at having to live a double life.

So now 40 years later, an up-and-coming young actor and writer named Craig Chester goes to visit a psychic when he needs some career advice, but instead

Craig gets some totally unexpected news.

He has been followed by the ghost of Montgomery Clift for years.

From KCRW and KCRW.com, it's unfictional and I am Montgomery Clift.
