Robert Montgomery, d. Sept. 27, 1981

A view from the terrace of Mr. Montgomery's last home, Hollow Brook in Canaan Valley, CT.   

"He had played many roles in his lifetime, off-camera and on-; the slender playboy of Our Blushing Brides had become a no-longer-slender country squire, but the grace of the performer remained what it had always been:  a prompting to merriment, an occasion for applause."  **
