I had East of Eden with James Dean on my list...... If he'd lived, what an actor.....facial expressions and body language in his roles, he was a natural.
Altho people saw him as "The Rebel" - I've read he was a friendly, pretty nice guy, always willing to sign autographs for fans. Very intelligent.
The good die young - look how many amazing musical and film stars with great promise have died young. 27-28 yr seems to be a real dangerous time for these "shooting stars"......
Godfather Trilogy, of course. I could name great movies all night, being a long-time movie buff.
