I just saw the Griffith Observatory yesterday in Los Angeles. Sal Mineo was in "Rebel Without a Cause", a scene was filmed there 55 years ago! Also James Dean and Natalie Wood. How weird it looks almost the same 55 years later!!

Why did everyone go off on a rant about this innocent video? Who cares who is gay or straight? If you care, either you're a bigot or closeted, get over it.

It has been well documented that he enjoyed sex with some of Hollywood's most famous male and female stars; what does that make him? I say he was a a man who knew how to enjoy life!

Mineo acts rings around Newman in this scene. And he was only 17.

There is solid evidence that James Dean had homosexual affairs; Hollywood press agents and studios made their male stars go on arranged dates with women so that their public would think they were "normal guys!" There IS such a thing as bisexuality, too! What makes you think only two flowers grow in a garden, when there is ample evidence of three varieties? It's NOT all "straight or gay" in this world!

[billyguns2]

My point is that Paul Newman also had homosexual affairs, most notably with Brandon de Wilde, his co-star in HUD, and Sal Mineo; his first such encounter was with Marlon Brando. Do you honestly think that just because a man is married to a woman that makes him exclusively straight? Newman also reputedly slept with Marilyn Monroe.

Paul Newman; my comment was in response to ScarlettPluto's statement "Paul Newman wasn't gay."

Sal never gotten along with Paul Newman. Despite appearing in only two movies together(Exodus and Somebody Up There Likes Me), he did call Newman a bit of an egotist. in one interview, though.
