The Weekly ShoutOUT™

This week we give a ShoutOUT™ to … Sal Mineo
From: NewNowNext

Sal Mineo (January 10, 1939 – February 12, 1976) was born in the Bronx, and made his film debut in 1955’s Six Bridges to Cross, beating out Clint Eastwood for the role. He followed that up with The Private War of Major Benson, but it would be his third film of 1955 that would catapult him to fame. Sal co-starred with James Dean in Rebel Without A Cause as troubled teen John “Plato” Crawford, and his performance earned him his first Oscar nomination.

Here’s a fascinating look at the screentest of Sal, James and Natalie Wood. Of course, it’s difficult to forget that all three died so young.
