“Dream as if you will live forever; Live as if you will die today.” -James Dean.. Watch “Marlon Brando's views on J3WS in old Hollywood + his alleged affair with Richard Pryor!” NEXT th-cam.com/video/3Y0Tt7-59PA/w-d-xo.html
Many thanks for your research on Dean, and for the entertaining account you give of his all-too-short life. Like TH-cam content, film is primarily a visual medium. When this emphasis on exteriority is coupled to profit motive, all manner of unsavory things occur due to human nature. Greed plus vanity is a deeply flawed combination, which is why so many talented people choose to leave the Hollywood scene and return to a place of relative sanity before they lose their own mind and/or soul. Do you agree, Ms. Alourde?
It's funny because people make it seem like this generation is desperate for fame And money but in reality, the stars of old Hollywood did Anything to get on top We learn so much from your channel ❤️
@@KarineAlourde Hollywood creeps me out now must have been terrifying back then omg can you imagine lol 🤣 as annoying as the me too movement became I see why it existed people in higher power got away with so much and still do James Dean and Judy Garland stories are so heartbreaking
🎯 🎯Not to mention the heavy nepotism of less or more talented kin… it’s a cycle that was obviously turning into a cult like approach… as is any organization that secretly practices too much lowness with pride but presents itself as if the rewards come naturally and with out rig. I remember Jennifer Aniston being quoted in how the appeal of Hollywood is dead. How she remembers a time where people had to do more than what they do online to have a seat at the table. I agreed with her… moments later the algorithms of the same internet she is practically blaming, showed a post about who her father is. A long time actor on general hospital. But remember they keep pushing the narrative behind her and her estranged mother. Regardless of her own toxic family dynamic, so many people including myself thought Jennifer was this break out star. Whole time her daddy got his own record there and been in there.
My 1988 high-school art teacher was from Marion, IN & went to school with James Dean. He said Dean was a couple years older & would chase him home & beat him up sometimes in grade school. By High School they had become friends and he would run into him at parties or other get togethers. He said that Dean would do odd things out of the blue sometimes. He would be in a conversation with a group at a party, disappear for a few hours, come back & never say a word about where he'd gone or what he'd done. He said he wasn't an actor and that was just him being himself on screen. He didn't remember him being into drama until they heard a Hollywood Talent Scout would be attending the Senior play. Dean ended up in the play & caught the Scout's attention and left for California after graduation. My teacher was amused that Dean had become an icon for being himself.😉
I think James Dean was a phenomenal actor but truly was a broken soul with many mental issues. Probably why he got into a car accident, I think he was very talented but unfortunate he was really going thru stuff…
This was so funny. 😂 Thank you so much for sharing this. Good on him for somehow turning being his weird, wild, unpredictable self into a career, even if it was a sadly short lived one and his life ended way too soon. The guy was definitely an icon.
No way what a cool story! I know famous people are still people, but it’s hard to imagine knowing them before they were famous, let alone grow up with them. I can see him really being himself.
@@wendyfrench8042Right? My teacher, Mr. Ricks, was such a cool older dude. I was his Aide my Senior Year and we became fast friends. When he saw my notebook with James Dean on it, he couldn't wait to tell me that he used to get bullied by him, lol. It would be so strange to have your offbeat schoolmate end up being a legendary icon of cool.😎
It's not intriguing. It's the story of a lonely child getting abused that couldn't sleep, was always on edge, lived on edge, and found an early death as a result.
Sadly a majority of “stars” were s abused as children, which made acting easier, as they could disassociate from their real selves to play other parts. Extremely sad, especially since it still goes on
Poor guy. No more parents= child alone= child abuse Unfortunately a common occurrence :( No wonder he was insomniac. He had hyper vigilance, could never relax. I can relate to that part of his mental health struggles. The problem when as a child you loose the only adult who is your care is not just you miss them and the love, it's that no one look after you anymore and you grow up alone, vulnerable to everything and everyone.
She walked away wZhen I was 12, with my dog, didn't speak to me for 40 years, died on my birthday. Did I care? He & new ho pushed me out of my "home" at 14. Love? What love? They aren't me, they're just where I come from. I raised me, did a pretty good job. That which does not kill you makes you strong. "Living well is the best revenge," became my mantra. Don't have the time to tell you what an incredible life I've lived. I've been places & seen things. Was in rooms with the rich and famous (Up close, they're pretty messed up).Other parents would have been proud, it's a shame mine weren't. Well, everybody is gone, I am the last one standing. I had practice way back then being alone. Today, it's just like being home.
@@solesticia James Dean, the movie actor, died 68 years ago. That was a completely different time in America. We had just won a war, a big war. People were feeling pretty good about that, pretty optimistic about a great future. To celebrate, they got married and THEN had children, lots of children, a boom of children. They grew into teenagers, more teenagers than the world has much better time than 2023.
This is so sad. He really had no real selfless guidance apart from his mother and a load of horrible experiences with people who took advantage of him. Thank you Karine for the video, it was quite informative.
It's tragic because he clearly was groomed by that evil pastor while he was a grieving child. Given his father's abandonment, the evil pastor knew he could violate James without being caught. SICKENING!
@@xxianmoon Not sure if he was named or not in James Dean's wiki page, but definitely check there in his "Early Life" section because that's where I remember reading about it.
Hollyweird likes them with childhood trauma because they are easy to control & manipulate. And I caught that comment about the “contract he signed” when talking about his death lol
Such a beautiful face. And you are 100% correct about not letting people speak negative things over your life. I ended a friendship with someone who would do this over _my child_ , like "what if [your child] was addicted to drugs/got killed by police/got cancer", etc. etc. No ma'am. I ghosted her like the ghostiest ghost that ever ghosted. 👻🖕👻
I'm always amazed at the amount of photographs that exist of James Dean, considering that he had only made 3 movies before his death. I have read before of his personality, experiencing mood swings between high and low, and wonder if he might have been bipolar. It reminds me of what I've read of Vivian Leigh's problems during her career that were later diagnosed as being due to being bipolar. Working in Hollywood, it is hard to tell whether he was gay, bisexual, gay-for-pay (not necessarily money, but in an attempt to get what he wanted), or straight. Since we don't have any clear record from him of his sexual orientation, it remains one of those eternal questions that surround Hollywood legends.
It is incredibly sad that S/A does leave a lifetime of effects on victims. This is true for both males and females. What I don’t understand is how there are so many predators out there. My brain cannot comprehend how any adult could be attracted to a child.
If you really want to know how sexual predation became to be so spread look for Alfred Kinseys' studies and books about sex in both male and female. He made up the whole thing financed by the Rockefeller Foundation.
I love what you say about casting spells with your words, and to rebuke words that have been said against you….that’s great advice to live by. A very classy video ❤
He was so gorgeous. His look is timeless- he could easily be a model right now, could have been one in the 90’s- just timeless. It’s funny because just an hour ago I watched an interview with Skip E Lowe who knew Dean well, and said he was VERY bi and had a huge appetite for life- men, food, women, drink, smoking- anything. I always was fascinated how Dean would go to Marlon Brando’s apartment, outside, like a puppy, because he just wanted to be with him. He was a pretty fascinating person. His actions make him sound like maybe he was a little bipolar? Possibly? The CGI stuff is so creepy! Great video. I need to watch one of his films. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve never seen one!
James Dean was quite the eccentric and interesting dude indeed. James Dean along with Marlon Brando and others were some of the first actors who brought the Method Acting genre to the Hollywood screen. James Dean was allegedly bipolar which also has insomnia as a symptom of the illness. Even James Dean's fashion sense is timeless and we can see pockets of it today.
Marlon Brando treated Dean like crap, to the extent that he tortured him sexually (apparently he would put out cigarettes on Dean's back). I'm sure James was delighted though.
He showed up at Pier's wedding at the church, and a marriage application was found in his place after he died with both their names on it. She died young also missing him to the end of her days. Her family pressured her to stay away from Dean.
THANK YOU. Lady you know your audience. I paused after the intro to write this. Im a gay man myself and my gay godfather always told me about a lot of old Hollywood being V V gender fluid. I love your work. Now I’ll deep dive into the story of this Beautiful man.
Karine I’m writing a novel and it deals with fame your channel truely helps me understand the weird world of Hollywood and the entertainment industry. If it ever get published god willing, your going to be in the acknowledgment’s.
Such a beautiful talented man, whom had so many demons and struggles, heartbreaking about his loss of his parents, may he forever continuously rest in peace…❤️🩹🙏🏾🕊️
I’m spamming but the thing about his scene in the Actors Studio and the S scene- there’s something very crazy about the method that they have to dig so deep and into their memories (which brings up such trauma when you’ve suffered loss, SA, trauma etc) that it really drove many actors to the edge emotionally. I personally think it was emotionally very damaging for Marilyn Monroe as well. Attempting S for an acting scene is not normal! A video on The Actors Studio would be really interesting!
I love this channel ...🥰 Dude was a heart throb because my mother had a picture of him in her hallway...it was more of a poster now that I think about it...🤣🤣 her spirit just made me come back and clarify that it was in fact a poster, but it was "FRAMED"🤣🤣🤣🤗
Iconic in his own way, especially for a bisexual guy. Funny how alot of men instinctively identify with James Dean lol, they emulate him and aren't shy to say it either. He reminds me of a few people I've known.
Thanks for your report. ☺️. . .Don't get me wrong, we generally are entertained by Hollyweird but knowing about the amount of pain that these people go thru is heart wrenching.
James Dean left this world at 24! He was very talented! So gorgeous!!! Sadly these icons fought a lot of demons! A lot of them are broken! James mother passed away when he was a kid and it had a deep impact on him! He really loved him mom!! Hollywood really hasn't changed! I'm sure lots of celebrities today sleep their way and do favors to make it!! Its a crazy business! He lived a little crazy at times with fast cars and it took his life in the end!!! I do love watching Rebel Without A Cause!! He was made to play that roll!! Thanks for this content!! Good job!!💋💋😁😁😁😁
Thank you Karine for mentioning a couple very subtle things that connect Jimmy's life events with certain things people are revealing more and more, about relationships in the industry. You mentioned his sketch of someone he was involved with and you said 'contract' in discussing his death. Nothing I mention is about his orientation. Don't care, because I understand all of it. But this is the first time I have heard anyone allude to the other forces at work. It is even worse now than back then.
James Dean was an interesting character and he truly was a heartthrob. I've been noticing lately that people have been comparing Austin Butler to James Dean ( I don't see it, I see more Paul Newman). But the amount of artist that name drop him in music today shows he had a impact. It's so sad that it got cut short at 24.
@No, I'm not a nice person I thought the same thing as well. I didn’t see the comparisons at all but other ppl do. I thought something was wrong with me lol
Thanks for your comment. I can see the comparisons of Butler with both Dean and Newman. However, Mr. Butler isn't nearly so good looking as either of them, imo.
Yes I agree, watch what you say of you own life and what other people say of you. Good 4U Karine to rebuke other people saying things negative about you.
Doesn't matter whether you were a fan of JD or not His Intense and Believable acting skills was fueled by the problems He experienced growing up. He made it work for him on the screen. Such a shame we didn't get to see more of His talent and that He found NO help for his emotional issues. As for being Gay, Hollywood did NOT start that NOR do they corner the market on that lifestyle. Go back to the Bible. It's in there right along with "Women of the Night" and Adultery. Very interesting perspective. Keep those videos coming. 👍
I don't have telegram. Sorry. I'm new at this. My responce was to another person who left a comment about JD and NOT to the original creator of the JD video. The young Lady that created the video did a marvelous job. I learned some things that I didn't know before about JD. Hope that she will share more with us. 👍
@lifeisnotworthliving YOU seem to have become defensive simply because I mentioned the "BIBLE". My point IS people need to STOP blaming Hollywood or any other Entity for the way they choose to live their lives. With the exception of minors, the use of drugs , Stockholm Syndrome, etc. Hollywood influencers by themselves simply cannot hypnotize a person into doing anything against their will. Heck the "BIBLE" states that WE were created with the ability to make choices. At what point did my response say that being gay is a "SIN"??? Please point it out for me. Please look up the word "LIFE STYLE". RIDDLE me THIS: IF as YOU say the BIBLE was created to control people, then why does it appear that the people in this world are so DAMN out of control??? 🤔
@lifeisnotworthliving Skin Color falls under the heading of Genetics NOT Human Nature. Human Nature leans more towards a persons Character and what makes them who they are. When the Inter- Direction of a person is heavily affected by any outside Stimuli and that outward Stimuli heavily influences the in-ward character of a person then outward behavior becomes affected and can and does become a Lifestyle. Therefore Orientation IS a CHOICE rather than something thrust upon an individual by Chance. Men are born Male and Women are born Female. IF Males and Females born with a particular set of Genitalia do not want to recognize that fact they are indeed making a Deliberate CHOICE, and LIFE STYLE CHANGE according to THE Perceptions they have of themselves and their feelings. IF every human being on the planet shared that same perception wouldn't WE ALL be a part of the LGBTQ Community??? Humans are individuals who make CHOICES. It's what WE do. I'm NOT shaming anyone. Your CHOICE is your CHOICE.
9:55 I remember reading an article that Elizabeth Taylor mentioned she spoke with James and he confided in her that awful secret. I am not certain if that story was true, but if so that is sad the trauma James endured throughout his life. His eyes looked trouble up until his last days.
I was too young during his time and found out about him in high school (1974-77). He was disorienting to me especially because he whined and cried his way through scenes. I was trained at an early age not to behave this way when in distress. Anyway it is dreadful that he was attacked by others especially a Christian minister. This is detrimental in the development if his sexual identity. I suspect suicide even though people claim otherwise. Too sad.
James Dean's life was tragic. Although he was so talented, he was equally tormented and self-destructive. His androgynous look made him an easy prey in Hollywood when he was struggling. P.S. Can you do a deep dive on John Garfield, the original urban anti-hero? Without Garfield, there would be no Pacino, DeNiro, Hoffman. Thanks for this video. ❣
Apparently all of them have to give it up to make it. James Dean's longtime girlfriend played Steinfeld's mother on Steinfeld. She too once said James would sleep with anyone to get ahead including men.
He was an incredible actor tho, with supersonic charisma. His role in Giant is so incredible, you can't take your eyes off of him, he steals every scene easily, with no effort. It was his presence, his gaze, his mannerisms, everything. He looked and acted like a contemporary man. He did not look silver screen.
One of a kind. A legend. Why people dwell on the negatives, I will never know. Bored, I guess. Look at what's out there now..🤣 One disappointment after another in the creation of movies. Nothing real. Special effects...🤮 Entertainment industry has gone downhill.
People who are from this era say he was not famous while alive. Only in three movies or something. Same with Marilyn Monroe. Both became icons after death but were not the Uber famous celebrities we think they were. Happens a lot in Hollywood as we all know.
James' attraction is his youth! That along with his incredible acting ability made him a "titanic force" for the 50's youth. No one could play "young" better than James. I wonder what would have happened if James had lived to be 50 or beyond. I guess we could say the same about Marilyn Monroe. Could you imagine a 70 year old Marilyn.
If he dated Rock Hudson who died of H.I.V. and Rock dated Elizabeth Taylor... All her illnesses of having pneumonia, maybe she had the virus too. Maybe that's why she donated to the cause.
Rock Hudson died from AIDS in the 80s. James Dean passed away in 1955. There’s too much of a gap in transmission to infection for this theory to be possible. One of the first possible cases of AIDS was reportedly of a young teenager in the 60s. However this is highly debated and was only discovered decades later. Because of the lack of knowledge of the disease anyone that contracted HIV 40 plus years ago would quickly progress to AIDS and die from either an opportunistic disease or cancer(sarcoma). It’s just highly unlikely she would have contracted HIV from an encounter(s) with James Dean via Rock Hudson in the 50s. She was incredibly progressive and accepting of gay men at a time it was unheard of. She lost many close friends to the HIV /AIDS crisis. Hence why she donated.
"Boy, you'll be the death of me. You're my James Dean. " ~ Beyonce "I was his Marilyn Monroe Brown eyes Tuxedo Fast cars A James Dean on the low Dean on the low" ~ Rihanna "You got that James Dean daydream look in your eye" ~ Taylor Swift "Blue jeans White shirt Walked into the room You know you made my eyes burn It was like James Dean" ~ Lana Del Rey James Dean gets his name dropped by all the current big female starlets, regardless of their race. Paul Newnan, Montgomery Cliff, or Marlon Brando ain't doing that with this generation.
Paul Newman imo, looked better than James Dean. I think the reason why females were more attracted to James was because of his bad boy image or personality. That's usually the attraction til this day
Considering the car pieces were connected to other accidents, it seems like someone did workings on his car to make him crash. Yikes, overall just very sad. Old Hollywood killed stars and New Hollywood does, too.
He sure could take a photo. Like wow. I don't know if it's the photographer vision or his beauty that made it so easy. These photos look like they are from today.
Beauty is only skin deep. Superficial. It's your internal demons that will get you every time. It doesn't matter how "good" you look on the outside, if you are torn up on the inside.
Karine, the more I watch your breakdowns of these stars. It seems like everyone in Hollywood in this era is that they all are shagging each other. I'm very sure this still goes on today but sheez they all used to get around with each other...
Paul Walker died the same way, in the same type of vehicle. James Dean already knew his fate and he carried on recklessly. He may have already been diagnosed with a terminal illness before the accident. Too bad we’ll never know.
Thank You. These videos are so very interesting. The complexity of humans and their nature's knows no bounds..also, people speaking negatively over your life and its impact. The car parts was spooky but understandable as Energy never dies and the impact of the crash was so horrendous.
James Dean was special to me as I & my class studied his film; “A Rebel without a Cause” & write about the changes of societal norms fr when the film was made to the current norms of the late ‘70’s. It was so sad how his life was cut short, but I didn’t know any of the other info except for his other movie “Giant”. TVM great deep dive. Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🇦🇺💐
Really love your channel. I'm not into American stars but your insight into people changes the way I look at life, myself & the people I interact with. Keep up the good work.
Women are almost NEVER given the same GRACE as men! I am not saying that abused men do not deserve grace but abused women deserve grace and support as well!
Ma’am as usual I respect your Quality work. I’m glad you mentioned the love life and this time you went very Deep. I had no idea he was into so infuriated.
Have you ever read Hollywood Babylon ??? I used to love that book. This does happen to women all the time and I love the points you brought out Especially what you mentioned about the tarot card reading. You get it, a lot of other people don’t. My great grandma told fortunes and loved tarot card reading. She predicted an accident happening and it did.
It’s sad how quickly all the drinking and drugs aged him. In the last year or two of his life he looked closer to my age (I’m pushing 40) than 24. It’s heartbreaking how humans can slowly disappear in front of the whole world. I hope his soul is resting easy.
There is no evidence to say James Dean took drugs. He was a drinker and he smoked. that's IT FOOL. DO SOME READING/RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK SHIT AND ACT IGNORANT AND FUCKING STUPID.
When I was in high school in the 80’s James Dean was who I had plastered on my walls. He was gorgeous! I have always loved everything 1950’s. The cars, the clothes, the hair, the music!❤️
I was so in love with his tortured soul when I was young. I saw rebel without a cause & I was hooked. I loved this videos. His childhood makes me understand him much more as an adult. Sad but such an interesting guy.

I agree than Monroe’s and Dean’s marriage would’ve been a disaster. Two tormented souls abused by Hollywood wouldn’t have done either of them any good
Especially because they were both struggling with Emotional and Mental issues
Plus I don’t think they’re even each other type

I have read before of his personality, experiencing mood swings between high and low, and wonder if he might have been bipolar. It reminds me of what I've read of Vivian Leigh's problems during her career that were later diagnosed as being due to being bipolar. Working in Hollywood, it is hard to tell whether he was gay, bisexual, gay-for-pay (not necessarily money, but in an attempt to get what he wanted), or straight. Since we don't have any clear record from him of his sexual orientation, it remains one of those eternal questions that surround Hollywood legends.
If you do it for attention or for pay. You're gay period
Photographers loved taking pictures of him.
Yes- he was an avid photographer… so his grasp/ appreciation propelled alot of the imagery. I luv it.
James Dean was a beautiful man. I had one of his calendars years ago. Eternally intriguing. Rebel Without a Cause is BRILLIANTLY inspirational!
What might have been if he didn't crash his new Porche
A beautiful soul gay or not
It is incredibly sad that S/A does leave a lifetime of effects on victims. This is true for both males and females. What I don’t understand is how there are so many predators out there. My brain cannot comprehend how any adult could be attracted to a child.
If you really want to know how sexual predation became to be so spread look for Alfred Kinseys' studies and books about sex in both male and female. He made up the whole thing financed by the Rockefeller Foundation.
Arrested Development
Humans are fucked that’s why
It’s an age old thing and used to be insisted upon but why would you want to comprehend such a thing, that’s weird
@@autumn5852Used to be insisted upon?
I love what you say about casting spells with your words, and to rebuke words that have been said against you….that’s great advice to live by. A very classy video ❤
This channel deserves an award...girl you're just so refreshing. I love your content
Hollywood is a sad wild place. This was going on during the “Golden Age”. Can you imagine how many people in Hollywood are living sad lives? 😢
He was so gorgeous. His look is timeless- he could easily be a model right now, could have been one in the 90’s- just timeless. It’s funny because just an hour ago I watched an interview with Skip E Lowe who knew Dean well, and said he was VERY bi and had a huge appetite for life- men, food, women, drink, smoking- anything. I always was fascinated how Dean would go to Marlon Brando’s apartment, outside, like a puppy, because he just wanted to be with him. He was a pretty fascinating person. His actions make him sound like maybe he was a little bipolar? Possibly? The CGI stuff is so creepy! Great video. I need to watch one of his films. I’m embarrassed to admit I’ve never seen one!
Same never seen his films either. On my list for sure though…
I’ve always thought he was gorgeous!
All three of his movies are excellent.
@No, I'm not a nice person hah! I think he’s got a ways to go!
His cousin who is still living says it was all bullshit. Don't try to tell me he was queer-no fucking way!
James Dean was quite the eccentric and interesting dude indeed. James Dean along with Marlon Brando and others were some of the first actors who brought the Method Acting genre to the Hollywood screen. James Dean was allegedly bipolar which also has insomnia as a symptom of the illness. Even James Dean's fashion sense is timeless and we can see pockets of it today.
Marlon Brando treated Dean like crap, to the extent that he tortured him sexually (apparently he would put out cigarettes on Dean's back). I'm sure James was delighted though.
Always brining the tea and history.❤
River Phoenix looked so much like him.
Wow, yes.
Looove River Phoenix 🙏🏿❤️
I thought the same thing.👍👍👍👍
River Phoenix is my favourite actor. He always remind me of James Dean.
Also how the three main cast of Rebel without a Cause all died tragic deaths 😭
He showed up at Pier's wedding at the church, and a marriage application was found in his place after he died with both their names on it. She died young also missing him to the end of her days. Her family pressured her to stay away from Dean.
Just started watching and noticed how heavy his eye bags were - and he died at 24! Wonder if was from stress / lifestyle?
hmmm.....the studios often lied about their age
those bags look like allergic shiners...
@@louisebotos7321 really??? I have eye bags! I always have had them! I’m trying to figure out why! I read food intolerance once!
@@mitchelleroberson yes, not so much the bags but the shadows,especially when they are slightly red too
He had insomnia.
R.I.P ...James Dean...Gone but not forgotten!
THANK YOU. Lady you know your audience. I paused after the intro to write this. Im a gay man myself and my gay godfather always told me about a lot of old Hollywood being V V gender fluid.
I love your work. Now I’ll deep dive into the story of this Beautiful man.
What's V V gender fluid?
Karine I’m writing a novel and it deals with fame your channel truely helps me understand the weird world of Hollywood and the entertainment industry. If it ever get published god willing, your going to be in the acknowledgment’s.
Don't do it, choose to live
Such a beautiful talented man, whom had so many demons and struggles, heartbreaking about his loss of his parents, may he forever continuously rest in peace…❤️🩹🙏🏾🕊️
I’m spamming but the thing about his scene in the Actors Studio and the S scene- there’s something very crazy about the method that they have to dig so deep and into their memories (which brings up such trauma when you’ve suffered loss, SA, trauma etc) that it really drove many actors to the edge emotionally. I personally think it was emotionally very damaging for Marilyn Monroe as well. Attempting S for an acting scene is not normal! A video on The Actors Studio would be really interesting!
This should be pinned! A video on the Actors Studio. You are bang on with your assessment btw!
I hope you will do Montgomery Clift and Anthony Perkins
Those would be some good ones. Great suggestions.
I love this channel ...🥰 Dude was a heart throb because my mother had a picture of him in her hallway...it was more of a poster now that I think about it...🤣🤣 her spirit just made me come back and clarify that it was in fact a poster, but it was "FRAMED"🤣🤣🤣🤗
That’s cool. He had such chiseled looks.
Wow wow wow that was great! I loved it … love how you put so much footage and pics … thank you so much!
i’m so happy you’re doing a breakdown on him! love your videos ❤ you work so hard
Thank you so much! Glad you like them ♥️♥️🙏🏼
Iconic in his own way, especially for a bisexual guy. Funny how alot of men instinctively identify with James Dean lol, they emulate him and aren't shy to say it either. He reminds me of a few people I've known.
Not the 75M black , Hispanic or Latino men of America.
Bullshit.
He was man enough to admit it. Most are not.
For white bi men. James Dean appealed to mostly white people. He's the all-American white boy as well as a bi/queer icon
Thanks for your report. ☺️. . .Don't get me wrong, we generally are entertained by Hollyweird but knowing about the amount of pain that these people go thru is heart wrenching.
James Dean left this world at 24! He was very talented! So gorgeous!!! Sadly these icons fought a lot of demons! A lot of them are broken! James mother passed away when he was a kid and it had a deep impact on him! He really loved him mom!! Hollywood really hasn't changed! I'm sure lots of celebrities today sleep their way and do favors to make it!! Its a crazy business! He lived a little crazy at times with fast cars and it took his life in the end!!! I do love watching Rebel Without A Cause!! He was made to play that roll!! Thanks for this content!! Good job!!💋💋😁😁😁😁
definitely bipolar ...I relate so much to him. Awesome video Karine
You're amazing, Karine! Thanks for another great video!❤️
Thank you Karine for mentioning a couple very subtle things that connect Jimmy's life events with certain things people are revealing more and more, about relationships in the industry. You mentioned his sketch of someone he was involved with and you said 'contract' in discussing his death. Nothing I mention is about his orientation. Don't care, because I understand all of it.
But this is the first time I have heard anyone allude to the other forces at work. It is even worse now than back then.
James Dean was an interesting character and he truly was a heartthrob. I've been noticing lately that people have been comparing Austin Butler to James Dean ( I don't see it, I see more Paul Newman). But the amount of artist that name drop him in music today shows he had a impact. It's so sad that it got cut short at 24.
@No, I'm not a nice person I thought the same thing as well. I didn’t see the comparisons at all but other ppl do. I thought something was wrong with me lol
Luke Perry of his time. Almost a carbon copy.
Thanks for your comment. I can see the comparisons of Butler with both Dean and Newman. However, Mr. Butler isn't nearly so good looking as either of them, imo.
I see James Franco.
@@davidbowman5442 It was the red jacket
Yes I agree, watch what you say of you own life and what other people say of you. Good 4U Karine to rebuke other people saying things negative about you.
Such a tragic end.... If only there was someone he could've talked to 😔 Thank you for sharing this !!!!
I almost spit out my drink when you said Spencer Tracy! Wow!
Oh Spencer was the original DL man especially on his benders.
@@rodb66 😳
His smile could light up the sky. Great job
Doesn't matter whether you were a fan of JD or not His Intense and Believable acting skills was fueled by the problems He experienced growing up. He made it work for him on the screen. Such a shame we didn't get to see more of His talent and that He found NO help for his emotional issues. As for being Gay, Hollywood did NOT start that NOR do they corner the market on that lifestyle. Go back to the Bible. It's in there right along with "Women of the Night" and Adultery. Very interesting perspective. Keep those videos coming. 👍
I don't have telegram. Sorry. I'm new at this. My responce was to another person who left a comment about JD and NOT to the original creator of the JD video. The young Lady that created the video did a marvelous job. I learned some things that I didn't know before about JD. Hope that she will share more with us. 👍
@lifeisnotworthliving YOU seem to have become defensive simply because I mentioned the "BIBLE". My point IS people need to STOP blaming Hollywood or any other Entity for the way they choose to live their lives. With the exception of minors, the use of drugs , Stockholm Syndrome, etc. Hollywood influencers by themselves simply cannot hypnotize a person into doing anything against their will. Heck the "BIBLE" states that WE were created with the ability to make choices. At what point did my response say that being gay is a "SIN"??? Please point it out for me. Please look up the word "LIFE STYLE". RIDDLE me THIS: IF as YOU say the BIBLE was created to control people, then why does it appear that the people in this world are so DAMN out of control??? 🤔
@lifeisnotworthliving Skin Color falls under the heading of Genetics NOT Human Nature. Human Nature leans more towards a persons Character and what makes them who they are. When the Inter- Direction of a person is heavily affected by any outside Stimuli and that outward Stimuli heavily influences the in-ward character of a person then outward behavior becomes affected and can and does become a Lifestyle. Therefore Orientation IS a CHOICE rather than something thrust upon an individual by Chance. Men are born Male and Women are born Female. IF Males and Females born with a particular set of Genitalia do not want to recognize that fact they are indeed making a Deliberate CHOICE, and LIFE STYLE CHANGE according to THE Perceptions they have of themselves and their feelings. IF every human being on the planet shared that same perception wouldn't WE ALL be a part of the LGBTQ Community??? Humans are individuals who make CHOICES. It's what WE do. I'm NOT shaming anyone. Your CHOICE is your CHOICE.
You’re a little in denial on that Hollywood part
@@Coco-fi4mv NO . I'm not in denial. I've accurately accessed the situation exactly the way that it is.
He's was the Brad Pitt of his time 😍😍
Better looking than Brad Pitt, who’s the ‘Pitts’!
Totally
He went through a sad life. Sad that he passed away so young 😔😔
A grounded person wants nothing to with Hollywood.
Tbh…I think the music industry over in the UK might actually be better.
You Mean, ‘HOLLY-WEIRD’!
9:55 I remember reading an article that Elizabeth Taylor mentioned she spoke with James and he confided in her that awful secret. I am not certain if that story was true, but if so that is sad the trauma James endured throughout his life. His eyes looked trouble up until his last days.
WHAT awful secret ? I was there ...there was no 'awful' secret 😂 You can't keep secrets in Hollywood !
The ALL time love of my life! My Aquarius ♒️ King…Mr. James Dean.. Thank you sooooo much for this video! ❤Always loved him!
You are so welcome ❤
I was too young during his time and found out about him in high school (1974-77). He was disorienting to me especially because he whined and cried his way through scenes. I was trained at an early age not to behave this way when in distress. Anyway it is dreadful that he was attacked by others especially a Christian minister. This is detrimental in the development if his sexual identity. I suspect suicide even though people claim otherwise. Too sad.
That was NO christian!
James Dean's life was tragic. Although he was so talented, he was equally tormented and self-destructive. His androgynous look made him an easy prey in Hollywood when he was struggling. P.S. Can you do a deep dive on John Garfield, the original urban anti-hero? Without Garfield, there would be no Pacino, DeNiro, Hoffman. Thanks for this video. ❣
I keep hearing this word “androgynous” in reference to him, but I’m trying to figure out how? He just looks like a regular man to me. 🤷♂️
I don't see andryongy..I think andryongy, I think Pete burns. James was very handsome..thats it
John Garfield yes
@@tonywoods3149 Have loved him since childhood. Most people today don't know him. Died too young at 39. He's the original. ❣
@@LeimertDreamer It's very subjective. I think he's handsome and cool. But his vulnerability, sensitivity, and shyness give him an androgynous look.
A lot of gay for pay men in the industry
It’s crazy how men in the industry will literally get paid for sex and women in the industry have to do it for free…
Apparently all of them have to give it up to make it. James Dean's longtime girlfriend played Steinfeld's mother on Steinfeld. She too once said James would sleep with anyone to get ahead including men.
He was an incredible actor tho, with supersonic charisma. His role in Giant is so incredible, you can't take your eyes off of him, he steals every scene easily, with no effort. It was his presence, his gaze, his mannerisms, everything. He looked and acted like a contemporary man. He did not look silver screen.
One of a kind. A legend. Why people dwell on the negatives, I will never know. Bored, I guess. Look at what's out there now..🤣 One disappointment after another in the creation of movies. Nothing real. Special effects...🤮 Entertainment industry has gone downhill.
I think if a person gets famous then they literally live forever
People who are from this era say he was not famous while alive. Only in three movies or something. Same with Marilyn Monroe. Both became icons after death but were not the Uber famous celebrities we think they were. Happens a lot in Hollywood as we all know.
16:40 you said it. “Don’t speak bad things on your life”
I think words have so much power. We spell words. That’s a secret in plain sight.
James' attraction is his youth!
That along with his incredible acting ability made him a "titanic force" for the 50's youth.
No one could play "young" better than James.
I wonder what would have happened if James had lived to be 50 or beyond.
I guess we could say the same about Marilyn Monroe.
Could you imagine a 70 year old Marilyn.
If he dated Rock Hudson who died of H.I.V. and Rock dated Elizabeth Taylor... All her illnesses of having pneumonia, maybe she had the virus too. Maybe that's why she donated to the cause.
😮😮😮😮😮 🤯🤯🤯🤯 mind blowing connection 👀👀
They were all involved in the 1950’s, H.I.V. wasn’t around r then
@@tonyabelton4533 Rock Hudson died of communication from AIDS. && E. Taylor gave a huge donation🤷so yes it was around back then
I believe Liz’s son Michael Wilding died of AIDS and that’s when she began her AIDS fund raising donations.
Rock Hudson died from AIDS in the 80s. James Dean passed away in 1955. There’s too much of a gap in transmission to infection for this theory to be possible. One of the first possible cases of AIDS was reportedly of a young teenager in the 60s. However this is highly debated and was only discovered decades later. Because of the lack of knowledge of the disease anyone that contracted HIV 40 plus years ago would quickly progress to AIDS and die from either an opportunistic disease or cancer(sarcoma). It’s just highly unlikely she would have contracted HIV from an encounter(s) with James Dean via Rock Hudson in the 50s. She was incredibly progressive and accepting of gay men at a time it was unheard of. She lost many close friends to the HIV /AIDS crisis. Hence why she donated.
What a fantastic video! Great work
He did a lot more work than I and the public knew of. Thanks Karine.
Oh wow, you can only imagine how life would have been for him if his mother had lived. 😢
No, I can’t imagine and to be fair I have no desire to either
Beyond the swagger, he was basically a shy and sensitive guy who tried to put up silence so that many couldn’t suspect.
Your voice is the most beautiful and calming.
My parents gave me nothing but a therapy bill.
@@ellasparks2488girl are you good????
Another cool video. Dean is one of those actors that people still need answers. He was a handsome man, and he died so young. Sad!
James Dean reminds me of Brad Pitt.
Yes and Zac Efron
He reminds me of James Franco
Heath Ledger reminds me of James Dean

definitely, I also feel like it could be a tormented soul thing too.

James Dean gets his name dropped by all the current big female starlets, regardless of their race. Paul Newnan, Montgomery Cliff, or Marlon Brando ain't doing that with this generation.
I think part of it is also he died so young so the mystique around him is greater. All those men were equally gorgeous in there prime.
Paul Newman imo, looked better than James Dean. I think the reason why females were more attracted to James was because of his bad boy image or personality. That's usually the attraction til this day
Also Halsey referenced him in New Americana
Dawn Richard has a song called “James Dean”
@@tangemclemore177Paul is so boring I don’t get his hype.
Considering the car pieces were connected to other accidents, it seems like someone did workings on his car to make him crash. Yikes, overall just very sad. Old Hollywood killed stars and New Hollywood does, too.
He sure could take a photo. Like wow. I don't know if it's the photographer vision or his beauty that made it so easy. These photos look like they are from today.
Another great video - thanks Karine 😊
Cant wait until you do GOOGOOSH!!
He was so handsome. It seems like the most beautiful people live tragic lives. 💔
Very much so heartbreakingly, the most beautiful people seem to suffer unfairly if not have tragedy happen to them…. 😔💔😥
Beauty is only skin deep. Superficial. It's your internal demons that will get you every time. It doesn't matter how "good" you look on the outside, if you are torn up on the inside.
Not all.
Rem that.
Giant is one of my most favorite movies! So sad he only made a few movies. He definitely made his mark through! What a beautiful, sensitive man! ❤
Damn Brando got with everybody huh 😂
That's what Quincy Jones alluded to in that tell-all interview
Yes girl I agree!! Don't speak anything negative into existence!!
I just don’t understand some folks lives. It just seems like he never had a chance. From the very start when he lost his mom. His story is sad 😢
Had a rare attitude. Regarding sexuality. , it didn't matter with whom he slept, as long as the individual. provided him with something he valued. .
Karine, the more I watch your breakdowns of these stars. It seems like everyone in Hollywood in this era is that they all are shagging each other. I'm very sure this still goes on today but sheez they all used to get around with each other...
He was too beautiful for his own good. Rest in peace and God bless his soul.
Paul Walker died the same way, in the same type of vehicle. James Dean already knew his fate and he carried on recklessly. He may have already been diagnosed with a terminal illness before the accident. Too bad we’ll never know.
Paul Walker beautifully similar
Thank You. These videos are so very interesting. The complexity of humans and their nature's knows no bounds..also, people speaking negatively over your life and its impact. The car parts was spooky but understandable as Energy never dies and the impact of the crash was so horrendous.
James Dean was special to me as I & my class studied his film; “A Rebel without a Cause” & write about the changes of societal norms fr when the film was made to the current norms of the late ‘70’s. It was so sad how his life was cut short, but I didn’t know any of the other info except for his other movie “Giant”. TVM great deep dive. Best wishes from Adelaide; South Australia🇦🇺💐
I knew there was something I liked about you besides your content 👏🏽 amen!! You are so right!! My sister in Christ!!
Dang. Everybody slept everybody!
Really love your channel. I'm not into American stars but your insight into people changes the way I look at life, myself & the people I interact with. Keep up the good work.
Please do a video on Corey Hame his story was extremely tragic and nobody calls out the industry or Charlie sheen for what they did to that poor guy.
Women are almost NEVER given the same GRACE as men! I am not saying that abused men do not deserve grace but abused women deserve grace and support as well!
Ma’am as usual I respect your Quality work. I’m glad you mentioned the love life and this time you went very Deep. I had no idea he was into so infuriated.
His performance in Giant as Jett Rink is riveting. I'm rich Bick, I'm a richin, I'm a rich boy!
This was very educational - had no idea about this element of James Dean's life. He had a short but renowned career.
Have you ever read Hollywood Babylon ??? I used to love that book. This does happen to women all the time and I love the points you brought out Especially what you mentioned about the tarot card reading. You get it, a lot of other people don’t. My great grandma told fortunes and loved tarot card reading. She predicted an accident happening and it did.
Are you saying Karine does tarot?
Unchristian like hocus pocus
Any fool who believes that shit needs mental help.
Tarot is a form of divination, which is sin. Stay away.
When I look at James Dean I see Brad Pitt for some reason 😊
@Life OfNi What about Robert Redford?
It’s sad how quickly all the drinking and drugs aged him. In the last year or two of his life he looked closer to my age (I’m pushing 40) than 24.
It’s heartbreaking how humans can slowly disappear in front of the whole world. I hope his soul is resting easy.
There is no evidence to say James Dean took drugs. He was a drinker and he smoked.
that's IT FOOL. DO SOME READING/RESEARCH BEFORE YOU TALK SHIT AND ACT IGNORANT AND FUCKING STUPID.
The trinity of actors of this era is Brando-Clift-Dean.
Out of the three, I think Monty was the best.
@@rodb66 yep
Paul Newman
When I was in high school in the 80’s James Dean was who I had plastered on my walls. He was gorgeous! I have always loved everything 1950’s. The cars, the clothes, the hair, the music!❤️
I was so in love with his tortured soul when I was young. I saw rebel without a cause & I was hooked. I loved this videos. His childhood makes me understand him much more as an adult. Sad but such an interesting guy.
Minnie riperton next please !!!!
Her voice is so soothing :)
