James Dean screen test for East of Eden

"Well, looks like Mr. Dean has some nice pit hair."

Did the other actor get the role too?

Why was he shirtless?

Yes, R2.

James Dean got the role of Cal, and the other guy got the role of his brother Aaron.

Why is this video and title created every couple of months. If you search you will find this same video numerous times....

Was that an audition for a gay wrestling video?

The actor who played "Aron" is named Richard Davalos, and he came across as much more gay than James Dean.

However, Davalos was married with two kids.

He was just as handsome as James Dean.

The other actor is Dick Davalos, who eventually got the part. He went on marry and father a daughter, but I strongly suspected he dabbled in the homosex.

I've just been ninja'd... with an identical photo! You win, R7.

I thought Richard Davalos was OK as Aron. He didn't have a great career, mostly spots on TV series.

Omg, R8.

You and I posted almost the exact same thing, with the exact same picture, at the exact same time.

Weird!!

James Dean and Dick Davalos had much more chemistry than James Dean and Julie Harris.

This picture says it all...

R12 But really did anyone have chemistry with Rosemary Harris? She was one of the most sexless of actresses.

I have no idea who she is, but apparently, actress Alexa Davalos is the granddaughter of Richard Davalos.

I've never seen her in anything, though.

Jimmy Dean had another very cute audition for East of Eden with Paul Newman. They got flirty.

That’s one of the sexiest, gayest things I’ve ever seen from that era. Damn.

It’s both sweet and sexy at the same time. Play wrestling was always awesome as a kid...it released a lot of tension and aggression—not always sexual!—between brothers and friends and it feels unique to “boyhood.”

Then when you see these two 20-something actors do it, you’re just waiting for the porn music to start! 🎶

Op's video or R15's video?

Paul Newman must have been really attracted to James Dean, because by the end of the video at R15, his shirt by his arm pits were soaked!

Smiles "no, we can't print that." I wonder why?

Paul Newman was awesome. Love him and his salad dressings.

R12

Thank you , they look so sexy together. Never saw this photo.

Jimmy and Dick

THIS THREAD HAS BEEN DONE TO DEATH. ENOUGH.

R24 Oh chill, everything old is new again to someone who hasn’t seen it.

This isn’t even old. This thread was made like 4 times this year alone.

No one is putting a gun to your head, to post here R24.

You're acting like a psycho control freak.

Dick was thicc!
