James Dean & Paul Newman screen testing for “East of Eden”
Posted by Ajit on November 29, 2006. 9 Comments

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.
jim is actually flirting, paul questions his remark and says yeh? and u can see jim say yeh but not say it, i call him jim because thats what they called him, everyone anyway he was bi and leaned for men but he was not gay, im the same way i love this clip
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?
ames Dean was NOT straight! I am sick to death of hearing that! You shouldn’t assume that just because it’s in print that it’s true.

james dean was james dean, he was straight….people are now trying to guess about carry grant and making storys about abe lincoln,…dont guess about james dean….hes straight till proven guilty.
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.
yep. “why go through life with one hand tied behind your back?” rumors like this dont just start. he had relationships with men. big deal. he is a cutie
thats all that matters..right??
When oh when will people grow up a bit and stop worrying about his sexual orientation? The only person who authoritatively knew is Jimmy himself – surely what matters most is that his appeal is timeless and universal – whatever your preference, he is utterly fascinating and alluring, more than 55 years after his untimely demise. We should all be amazed than one young man is still able to attract and repel such disparate folk who all want to mould him to fit their ideal of a leader for their particular ‘gang’. If he’d run for office he might have really found unity and harmony!
