#29: A Film Marked by Tragedy

The Misfits was meant to be a cinematic masterpiece, but its legacy became a tragedy. The film’s set felt cursed from the start, overshadowed by misfortune. Shortly after filming wrapped, Clark Gable suffered a fatal heart attack.

Marilyn Monroe, struggling with personal demons, died of an overdose just a year later. Montgomery Clift, already battling addiction after a devastating car crash, spiraled further. In a chilling twist, he refused to watch The Misfits one evening—only to be found dead of a heart attack that very night.
