James Dean & Paul Newman screen testing for

There is some strange chemistry between Newman and Dean. At one point, Dean says “Kiss me.” Can’t tell whether he is try to throw Newman off balance or is actually flirting.

Some of the comments say that Dean got the gig because Kazan and him were lovers. I find it very hard to believe that, especially with Kazan’s record of being a big womanizer.

Hi,

I would suggest downloading firefox then downloading and installling this extension.

Which will allow you to download that and any video from youtube.

James Dean was NOT gay! I am sick to death of hearing that! You shouldn’t assume that just because it’s in print that it’s true. The gay angle only helped a lot of people who claimed they knew James Dean profit off of him after his death. And dead men can’t defend themselves against defamation, now can they?

When Dean was asked about his sexuality, he responded that he wasn’t going to go through life with one hand tied behind his back.

I think pretty much the only interpretation of that comment is that he was bisexual.
