Love and scandal are the best sweeteners of tea. —Henry Fielding

While recently watching The Celluloid Closet in preparation for showing it to my Sexuality & Representation class, some clips from Rebel without a Cause came on the screen. "He died so young," I mumbled with a sigh. My roommate offered that "Yes, he did. And he only made three movies." I thought a bit about what she said, confused, and then I realized she was talking about James Dean and I had been talking about Sal Mineo.

Love him.

  1. Wasn't he only a teenager when he did REBEL? Like 16 or something? And nominated for an Oscar, too?

  2. Sal Mineo in Exodus made me love Jews even more.
