Jimmy and Pier were in FACT a couple, there are many pics of him holding her hand, and of them out together period...And alot of insiders say that Pier was the love of his life, so who do we believe? No one really knows except Pier and Jimmy. It is quite possible that he liked both women and men, and that he could of just been bisexual, or that could just be a bad rumor that some crazy guy who was in love with him started! But I do in fact believe that he was in love with Pier.
Most insiders say they were just friends .. period ! She was a nice cover,as are many an actress for an actor who swings the other way. Years later Piers sister Marisa Pavan said "That kind of thing went on all the time, after all this was the 50's and his career would have been ruined, besides Pier did not want to get married to anyone, not even to Vic,that was our parents doing you might say".
No, she didn't marry him because she was Catholic and she couldn't marry outside of her religion, also her mother didn't like Dean. At all. And in Italian, Catholic families you didn't didn't disobey your parents on that.
This is an INSULT to James Dean. It's sad people change his style of cool to fit the times. Like the whole gay thing, now he hits women... god, what is the world comming to?
@Deko378Boko Well think about the time, things were a lot different when James was alive. Back then it was quite common for men to use violence against women. Not saying it's right but just cutting James some slack...if he in fact did hit women which I dunno
geeeeezzuuusssss.! the two of them were meant to be - she couldn't live without him either- imagine if your mother forced you to marry someone whom you didn't love...
Totally agree- Pier would be turning in her grave if she saw this. This chick is like a cheap mindless french "ho". And(sadly) she dosen't even LOOK like Angeli! Stupid & Limp casting!
Jyst so you know..I like Pier. I dont think havening made a mistake makes you evil or even bad. Who in thier 20s hasnt made mistakes. She was a human being as jIMMY WAS a human being..not God, not Saten, just in thier 20s doing the best they could at the time. God bless them both.
Ok, but it comes down to the fact Pier says and more then once she loved him. She couldnt stay married to Vic or her second husband because she would be dreaming of Jimmy and she couldnt love either of her husbands the way she should because of her love for Jimmy. Her death could easely been an acident I believe that it was an acident . I also believe she loved Jimmy. She was vary young and made a big mistake. I can relate.
According to Bill Bast..Jimmy and Piers romance was a publicity stunt and at lest on Jimmys part he wasnt madly in love with Pier. They would go to a event alone and hook up and leave alone. Plus Piers mom wouldnt let her out of her sight. Well, I have to qustion this for servel reasons....Here are two..if they had no real alone time then how did Jimy take pictures of Pier they were published in a book a few years ago. Also many years latter Pier stated Jimmy was her onr true love.
ya, this is the closest movie version to him (at least physically, even if you think his interpretation is bad you got to admit that kevinatucla)....we'll never get the real thing...back.
Pier Angeli married Vic Damone-but it ended in divorce despite being catholics. Her movie career dried up sooner rather than later. She went back to Italy and lived in abject poverty until she committed suicide. She is often described as lamenting never having had child with James Dean.
she actually did not commit suicide, it was her doctors fault she O'D. And the part about the child, i never heard, and would be enlightened to hear the quote if u can find it. I thought that she said in an interview before her death that he was the only man she ever loved.
It was reported that she had financial problems at the end of 60's, after the Italian taxes took a lot of what she had, but she was never in real poverty. She moved then to an apartment out of the center of Rome. She only felt the lack of justice.
James Dean taught me to smoke, roll my smokes up in my t. & to drink & screw pretty girls around...Marlon taught me to grunt & sneer...what a drag...so glad those days are gone
The chick dosen't look like Pier- Pier had lite green eyes. Also they make it look like Pier was the agressive one- it was mutual(or even the other way around).
I agree on some terms in basic (interpretation wise)... idk nobody knows. But when u mean mutual, in what sense of the word? Sex, love, marriage? She seems to come off as a sorta-niusance,(sounding like he just wants her to shut up) (I haven't seen the rest of the movie to interpret, especially if james f. gave a more tempered and closed off version of james dean) In this scene alone it looks like the relationship relies on 2 things, sex and physical attraction. (yes theres a difference).
I have this movie & had to go back & rewind the scene where he tells her to "OPEN IT!!" (Her mouth) Then he pushes her leg open with his knee & she was willing. Very graphic, very sensual...Love that Franco! He did a great job playing JD!!
Before he was a cool friend, deserving sympathy and earning money with his books, while the sharks were blaming and persecuting her. Now he is making more profit with his true version of the history, as his cool boyfriend, saying she was not that real for him. Sorry, but I ask myself what was Bast thinking while another person had been tormented for something that he knew was not true. Big indifference. He could at least have said the truth just to her, helped her.
I thought Bast came from the heart. Jimmy was one of the coolest people one could know for someone living in the '50's and brought up in small town he was sure curious and open minded.
... Nothing out of the ordinary bothered Jimmy, instead he was drawn to it and often intrigued. If there is any truth to their romance one would think that she wouldn't have married Vic DaMone just to hurt Jimmy.I personally don't think there is much truth to the romance. f there was it is highly exagerated and prabobly had much to do with publicity more than anything.
Thanks! My generation knows Angeli from childhood, but this scene surprised me enough to search more about her. My vision about the whole history changed. Now I am disappointed about JD making some marketing among his friends with his feelings about her. He was not genuine at all. He died and did not know how terrible it was to her to handle the media. He would not wish that. Bast should come out with his history 40 years before. It was always very comfortable for him.
Thanks for uploading this. I guess i could never watch this movie, I mean, my view of the whole story is so different, the movie sounds.. fake to me. Even though James Franco job was real good, all scenes i se I feel are sort of forced...
he looks like jimmy in a way, but something tells me that this really did not happen. i don't think he had anything that deep going on with Pier Angeli and he most certainly didn't hit her.
Well, the movie does state that nothing was for sure about their interpretation, but him and Liz Sheridan were the only two women in his life that he was that close to marrying. So yes, he was VERY in love with Pier. A lot of biographies have their story.
Yeah it's very well documented. She was beautiful and they made such a lovely couple. But Bill Bast, a best friend of Jimmy's, said in a book released last year that it was strictly "publicity" and that Jimmy was more-less into guys. Interesting story to say the least.
@kadeshow I am a huge James Dean fan, like huge i have read and seen everything about him- I am sure they had to speculate what happened because both jim & Pier are dead, i do however know that other friends of his has said that he was known to hit woman when he was really drunk but I dont think that was his personality sober as for Pier and Jimmy i believe as you do their dating was a publicity stunt put on by the studio
and this woman should be pier angeli?? no way. no no no way.
