James Dean

[nel16]

It's a common belief that he was bi... he had a very famous affair with the actress Pier Angeli, and another chick, I forgot her name, she played the mom on Seinfeld, who wrote a book about her relationship with him called Dizzy and Jimmy.

And there are certainly a lot of (not necessarily very credible) accounts of his supposed affairs with men as well. His sexuality has always been a very popular point of interest with people, haha.

I don't think you have to worry. B) He was enormously talented and very honest. And he wasn't afraid of what people thought. John Lennon and Bob Dylan were the same way. River Phoenix and Keanu Reeves probably have those same qualities. I don't think any of them are gay.

'Shrouded in Hollywood legend, Rebel Without a Cause was James Dean's second of three films (East of Eden, 1955; Rebel Without a Cause, 1955; Giant, 1956). By the time the film opened on October 27 1955, the 24-year-old star had been dead for 27 days, killed at the wheel of his Porsche on the way to a road race, his true passion. He had made just three films in 18 months, but he was to become a bigger star dead than he had been alive. James Dean as Jim Stark patented the teenage look and condition: blue jeans, tight white T-shirt, red bomber jacket and a sense of indignation. His melancholic, boyish good-looks and faraway expression (he was very short-sighted) gave him the vulnerability and yet somehow also the superiority of the tragic outsider. Jim Stark is a boy of middle-class parentage who is tortured by his parents' lack of empathy. Natalie Wood plays Jim's girl, Judy, whose father rejects her affections because she's 16 now, and Sal Mineo plays Plato, who finds in Jim Stark someone who seems genuinely to care about him, the very thing lacking in his life. Jim Stark is new to town. During his first day at high school he's taunted by a gang of youths and his honour is questioned. He's invited to prove he's not 'chicken' by taking part in a reckless race in which two stolen cars are driven straight toward the cliff-edge and the first driver to bail out is 'chicken'. Jim survives and the other dies. Jim, Judy and Plato hole up in a deserted mansion on the hills and the gang of youths, police and parents close in on them. Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo both received Academy Award nominations for their roles as did Nicholas Ray for Best Director. Rebel Without a Cause - with its superb handling of the actors as well as of spatial composition, colour and camera movement - remains as vital and relevant today as it was 50 years ago.'

i'm currently watching a bio about james dean on cable.. ovation tv... it's called The Real James Dean (Covers the life story and tragic death of the man who made being a rebel cool).

 

[GBArt]

He was a comic genius.

 

[unwrapmypackage]

He was on point - his witty comments and ideas.
Man, I wish I would've been able to catch that biography on television.

Did they mention any interesting facts?

 

[vintage girl]

Does anybody have any pictures of Jimmy with Natalie Wood?
