I lived in that apartment complex from '79-81. Sal was a beautiful kid and his murder was a great shock to actors of my generation. May his soul rest in peace.
Never knew the story of Sal’s murder. It was so senseless. His murderer sentenced for 51 years just to be paroled after 11 years is outrageous. No real justice for Sal. Murderers should never be eligible for parole. Sal still had so much more to give and live but got robbed of his life by a total stranger. So sad. Love the guitars and everything on Sunset. Always love seeing Jah. Thank you for sharing about Sal’s murder. May he be resting in peace. God bless you and Jah. Y’all are such a blessing to others.
Your words are so true, I'm sorry a life for a life!!!! He should have never been allowed out, he took a life, someone who had a lot to give, someone who had feelings!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
Anyone who is paroled should be forced to live at their lawyer's house for the first year. That should cut the paroles down to about zero. The difference between a lawyer and a vampire is the vampire will stop sucking on your neck once you re dead
Thank you for the video. Sal mineo is a forgotten treasure of Hollywood. Most people in today’s world don’t even know who he is, such a shame. Thank you for a respectful and insightful video in tribute to his life and tragic ending.
I remember hearing about his senseless murder. Such a tragedy. He had such a bright future. I always enjoyed his acting he was very good. Thank you for bringing his story to light. A lot of people don't know what happened to him. Rest in peace Sal Mineo
Such a beautiful beautiful boy. If I was a girl in the 50’s I would have had a huge crush on Sal. So sad the way they treated his death, they blamed him because of his bisexuality. RIP Sal ❤️
Think I remember that while growing up in LA the vibe was he somehow brought it upon himself. Think it was because of his sexuality. Travesty. A great talent and seemed like a kind, gentle man. Didn’t deserve that.
I got goosebumps as soon as i saw the exact location where Sal sadly died. Such a very sad end to a magnificent actor and singer. Rest in peace 🙏💫 Thank you Jordan. From Sydney Australia 🇦🇺
He really was a great actor! The fact that he was openly bisexual says something about him too he wasn't willing to compromise who he was for his career. And in that time period that's really saying something. Thanks Jordan
Such a sad loss to his friends, family and the entertainment industry. Sal was too young to die and his murder so senseless. Thank you for presenting his story with respect and dignity, Jordan. Never knew all the details until now.
I was about 12 years old when he was killed and I remember it really had an effect on me, it was so violent. The last thing I saw him in was an episode of 'Ellery Queen' that was a great show that was cancelled too soon.
@@joannharden8867 I know that's crazy . Sal was robbed and killed , natalie drawned and James died in a car accident. Life is really precious. You should be happy every day because you never know when you gonna go. That's why I always say it's tge best day of my life
Sal was my cousin. My Grandpa talked a lot about Sal a lot. If you wanted I can tell you a little more about Sal's life, his family life, and some of my grandpa's stories about Sal. Let me know
Wow, that's interesting, you are his Cousin. My sincerest condolences to you and all his family. The gentleman Gregory has a different take on your Cousins Sal Mineo's tragic death. 🙏 🙏 🙏
Sal was so good looking and talented... For the longest time, it was speculated that his murder was a crime of passion committed by someone who knew him. Thanks for telling what really happened, I never have heard anything til now. Thanks for the tour of the hotel and Strip, things I would like to see if I went to LA .Good job with your tree... Good to see Jah smile. Thanks Jordan☺💝🎆🎄 RIP Sal 💝🌹
I guess he died from excessive bleeding due to running . If he or someone had called 911 , he could have lived . So senseless , so tragic . Why did an innocent man have to die like that ?
I saw him in Exodus. Sad ending to his life. At the end where you showed The Who reminded me of 1967 (yes im old) when Keith Moon drove a Lincoln continental into the swimming pool of the Holiday Inn in Flint Michigan on his 21st birthday. He also destroyed a toilet in his room. I am from Flint.
I had friends at that show. Heard the Who were setting off cherry bombs and throwing birthday cake out of windows. Their partners in crime? Herman's Hermits! Strange as it may seem, they were on tour together. It must have been some party. The two bands caused $25,000 worth of damage!!!
Sal Mineo's death was so tragic and sad! He was such a great actor, and he was in the prime of his life too. Thanks for doing a vlog on his life Jordan.
What a tragic ending for a very talented actor. I took Sunset all in because I’ll likely not get to travel there again for so long...if ever. Thanks for sharing Jordan!
For anyone interested in Sal’s life read the biography SAL . Such an intriguing book . John Lennon put up a reward for anyone with information when it happened . He sure had such an effect of people . Rest in peace Mr Mineo
Jordan I know you are going to be moving but I hope you don’t stop vlogging ! There are so many people I don’t want to say depend on your videos but look forward to watching you every day! Not only they watch the videos but a lot of people have changed their lives because of you! God bless you Jordan I hope you have a great holiday! Love you brother!
I was just wondering if you had vlogged Sal Mineo, had taken the time to go through your library. I just watched Giant and remembered hearing about Sal’s murder... so yay so glad you did this 👍🏻
@@DazewithJordantheLion that's so strange. I live in europe, and here, houses where famous writers and artists lived are marked as cultural heritage sights....
@@amypieterse3706 It seems like people from Europe care, appreciate and respect their history more then most in the USA. There are some of us who do, but we are the ones who don't have the money or pull to do anything about it. I hope someday to visit Europe!
He was great--really stood out. I was shocked to find out his death was "stranger danger," since there was so much speculation that it was due to his love life, professional rivalry, etc. etc.
Last thing I saw Sal Mineo in was 1975 episode of Columbo's "A Case Of Immunity". I think he died a year later. Sad story but a great vlog. And he lived in the next building to where Marilyn & Shelley lived was pretty cool info.
Thank you for the story on Sal Mineo's death. I remember watching him in Giant, and Rebel without a Cause. Your Vlogs are so informative and I love that you take us to the scene. Since I'm a huge JoeBo fan I appreciate your taking us on a tour of the Subset Marquis to see some of his guitars. He always posts a picture or two when he changes out the displays. Thanks again for including him as I live in E WA and won't come to CA. Merry Christmas, Happy New Years! I can't wait to see what you do in 2021.
I had just seen him in his New Play, "Fortune And Mens Eyes" at the Coronet Theater on La Cienega. In that cast was an unknown young actor by the name of Don Johnson. Sal was about 7 years older than me, but I followed his career for years. It was such a shock to hear the news when it happened. He was a great actor. He already had proven that, but because it was a different time, being gay, or bi was a career destroyer. He would have had a long successful career if he had lived. Thanks for the flashback. Have a safe and happy holiday ! 🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄🎄
@@namisill850 I don't know as fact, but I did hear that at the time. It could be a one time thing. Johnson was just a young kid trying to get started. Just as women have done, guys would do the same if it meant he could get a part, or meet someone that could possibly help their career.
Another great vlog! Thanks for showing the hotel and Sunset Blvd! Can't believe the Viper Room is still there! Glad it is, though for who knows how long.
Hi Jordan, what a sad ending for this poor guy, how horrible that the guy who stabbed him was bragging about the fact that he had killed him. Once again, drugs caused so much sadness. On a nice note, we end with the Jahster!! Great vlog Jordan.
RIP to Sal, such a sad ending for a bright soul. I knew nothing of his death, but had seen him in films. In a way he was a pioneer of the LGBT movement, not afraid of his lifestyle ruining his career, that took alot of guts in those days, they say James Dean was Bi also... I wonder if they spoke of it while filming Giant? More tragic events occur when the killers wife kills herself. Then the killer gets out of prison after 11 years! Love the Sunset Marquee Hotel, the big guitar reminds me of going into the Rock~in~Roll museum in Ohio! ❤
I will be in the area in early January and will have to check out the Sunset Marquis. Your Vlogs have definitely helped me through the pandemic. I have turned to this to avoid politics. Thanks so much!!
I always feel so bad for what happened to Sal. He seemed like such a good guy. I liked his early acting with that sort-of pent-up anger style. "Rebel Without A Cause" is the quintessential example.
I remember he was in the 50's movie about Rocky Graziano called Somebody Up There Likes Me. He played Rocky's (played by Paul Newman) childhood friend. He was great in that, very energetic actor.
Grateful to see a podcast about Sal Mineo Even some people my age (79) don't recall Sal Mineo, and yet he stood out to me in every movie I saw him in. For a small guy he had a BIG presence. I just saw him as an Indian in "Cheyenne Autumn" and I immediately thought it was him.Always enjoyed his performances RIP Sal Mineo.
Another good one, Jordan. I loved Sal Mineo. He was taken much to soon. I'm sure his career would have gone far. I thought he was so cute. Rest In Peace Sal ✨🖤 Merry Christmas to you and Jah, Jordan. You have done some outstanding vlogs recently. I'm extremely appreciative. It is a pleasure being here with you. Thank you! 🎄🌻🙏
I love these vlogs their very informative. Sad what happened to Sal. I took my daughter down that part of Hollywood about 3 yrs ago to see all the clubs she's a huge rock fan.
Man, Sal Mineo was such a strikingly handsome man! I believe if he had lived a longer life, he would have been an A lister for sure....senseless is the perfect word for his murder. Thank you, Jordan for taking us along..... :)
On the 10th day of Christmas my favorite vlogger gave to me another Great Vlog and a partridge in a pear tree lol . Been waiting for this one. Thanks Jordan.
It's terrible what happened to him, he was so talented. Year's later Christa Helms was killed in the same spot. The police said they could make correlations too. I thought if he hadn't died he could have been a phenomenal actor. Wonderful vlog Jordan.
Thanks Jordan, really enjoy your content, it’s good you make these kinds of videos, and although sad it keeps the memory alive for people. It’s especially sad that he died in such a lonely spot, a back alley hardly anyone walks through.
Have a wonderful Christmas Jordan, looking forward to what the New Year brings, thanks for all of your wonderful videos and keeping us all entertained and informed.
Didn't know that Sal did so many movies. Great vlog as always Jordan love watching your channel. I remember the first thing I seen him in was in a episode of Hawaii 5-O. He had a guest role in a episode.
Ty 4 doing this 1 awesome detail as always interesting 2-B able 2 see the actual pl- ace that Sal (whose 1 of my favorite actors)but so sad his life ended there w/him havin' 2 being alone @ the last minutes of his young life R.I.P. Sal Mineo
In 1958, Sal Mineo was making a personal appearance for his latest movie "Angel" at my local theater, RKO Keith's, Queens, NY, in which he was the main star! He also sung the title song & they handed out free copies to the first three hundred patrons! As he left from the rear exit, I also left from the front & saw him come out & enter a black Cadillac limo! Even though I was only 12, I was surprised that he was about the same height! I guess some personalities don't look the same in real life! R.I.P. Sal!
JORDAN THE LION!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!! Craziest thing, I was just watching Rebel Without a Cause LAST NIGHT!!! Wondered who the actor who played Plato was, saw that he was murdered and planned on looking up more details but fell asleep, woke up and first video I see on TH-cam is this one!!!! Kismet! Wonderful job as always, Thank you again!
Ok, I am fessing up. I have never seen Rebel Without a Cause. Not that I haven’t wanted to, I just haven’t. I am going to look it up abs see where I can watch today! Thank you for the final push to get me to finally watch this classic, Another great vlog, Jordan. Sad story.
Fantastic vlog!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this as I always. I remember hearing about the tragic murder of Sal Mineo from my mum many years ago who was a fan of his and it always intrigued me as I didn't know all the facts being so young. Thank you so much for bringing light to what happened all those years ago and honoring his memory. Beautifully done 💝
Great vlog with a bittersweet ending ! So sad he died so young , such a great actor he was .. I read somewhere that Miami Vice’s don Johnson once lived there at that place too. Don Johnson & sal were buddies back in the day 🎄🙌
I worked with Sal at a theater in FL. Less than a month later I saw the news of his murder in the paper. All I ever heard was it was an ex boyfriend that killed him. Thanks for the true story.
In that gallery, you can catch some of the work of the great rock photographer Henry Diltz who took the cover photos of so many legendary album covers and so much more.
Henry did the album cover for Morrison Hotel by the Doors... He's awesome and still working. In 2015, he came to Nashville with Patty Boyd, George Harrison's first wife and Eric Claptons... She's a photographer too. I wanted to go to this event but tickets were sold out😞
Nice video and it is fun that you visit the sites, etc. Sal was not killed for drug money and then never robbed so instead they stab him in the chest and leave everything - watch, car keys, everything left. That is NOT how it works. It was a hit, so now you can investigate further if you like.
I lived in that apartment complex from '79-81. Sal was a beautiful kid and his murder was a great shock to actors of my generation. May his soul rest in peace.
Thanks for your insight Mr. Magoo...who are you...
Amen!
I don’t believe you.x
Did you know him?
Is that neighborhood called “Boys Town” now?

You know I kinda knew the story (except the part about him walking next door),but I always thought it was Bob Crane's death.Hogan's Heros.
They should be paroled when their victims walk again not one minute before.
I'm truly shocked that this cold blooded murderer was parolled after only 11 years, no justice for poor Sal😥
No justice in California law
And actually bragged about killing Sal Mineo.
Lionel Ray Williams, the name of his killer. He got life in prison, but got out after 11 years. Violated parole, and was sent back.
@@patricias5122 Thank goodness.
So he was given a chance at having some sort of life and he threw it away. Hope he rots in prison.

Funny how that makes it "okay" huh?
@@AM-np3hf well said my friend.
So sad. Sal Mineo was just going home to his own place and not bothering anyone. Thanks Jordan! You are such an expert on classic Hollywood events!
So sad, that the trio from "Rebel without a cause" died so young and so tragically.
Yes all three of them, had sad endings!!! 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧
All of died by bastards, in my opinion.
I have heard that movie had a curse placed on it.

Regina Hall mentioned on The View when she first came to Hollywood she lived in Sal M. home.
I seem to also remember that she said it was haunted by him.

Have a wonderful Christmas Jordan, looking forward to what the New Year brings, thanks for all of your wonderful videos and keeping us all entertained and informed.
This story makes me so sad. 💔💔
Thank you for this! Sal is my all time favorite actor. I appreciate this kind and respectful remberance
Didn't know that Sal did so many movies. Great vlog as always Jordan love watching your channel. I remember the first thing I seen him in was in a episode of Hawaii 5-O. He had a guest role in a episode.
A Fantastic veiw! Thanks for all you do Jordan & Jah! Luv&Peace Sean&family Cheers from Sask Canada!
Ty 4 doing this 1 awesome detail as always interesting 2-B able 2 see the actual pl- ace that Sal (whose 1 of my favorite actors)but so sad his life ended there w/him havin' 2 being alone @ the last minutes of his young life R.I.P. Sal Mineo
I was13 then. I remember this so vividly.
Never knew this story. Very interesting and so sad. Truly cold blooded
Jordan every vlog is so well researched and presented! A true tragedy done with your usual professionalism ! TY and added tidbits !
In 1958, Sal Mineo was making a personal appearance for his latest movie "Angel" at
my local theater, RKO Keith's, Queens, NY, in which he was the main star! He also sung
the title song & they handed out free copies to the first three hundred patrons! As he
left from the rear exit, I also left from the front & saw him come out & enter a
black Cadillac limo! Even though I was only 12, I was surprised that he was about
the same height! I guess some personalities don't look the same in real life! R.I.P. Sal!
Wow, Ron very, very interesting.
JORDAN THE LION!!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL YOUR VIDEOS!!!
Craziest thing, I was just watching Rebel Without a Cause LAST NIGHT!!!
Wondered who the actor who played Plato was, saw that he was murdered and planned on looking up more details but fell asleep, woke up and first video I see on TH-cam is this one!!!! Kismet! Wonderful job as always, Thank you again!
Wow!! Thats incredible!
Sal im sorry you had to leave the world this way, Rest in peace Legend
Where are you moving to after the holidays? I remember when this happened to Sal Mineo, he really was a great actor and taken away too soon........
Another interesting video from you! You cover the things I am interested in so well! Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Love your tree Jordan! Giant is my fav movie! Didn't know that much about Sal. Thanks for the info! ❤
Ok, I am fessing up. I have never seen Rebel Without a Cause. Not that I haven’t wanted to, I just haven’t. I am going to look it up abs see where I can watch today! Thank you for the final push to get me to finally watch this classic, Another great vlog, Jordan. Sad story.
Love your Videos. RIP Sal Mineo gone but not forgotten 🌠🌠🌠🌠
Fantastic vlog!!!! I thoroughly enjoyed this as I always. I remember hearing about the tragic murder of Sal Mineo from my mum many years ago who was a fan of his and it always intrigued me as I didn't know all the facts being so young. Thank you so much for bringing light to what happened all those years ago and honoring his memory. Beautifully done 💝
Great vlog with a bittersweet ending ! So sad he died so young , such a great actor he was .. I read somewhere that Miami Vice’s don Johnson once lived there at that place too. Don Johnson & sal were buddies back in the day 🎄🙌
Both actors are great in my 📚 book 📖! 🤟
Great but sad vlog. We lost a good actor for nothing. Love your Christmas tree. Thank you for this wonderful vlog. Merry Christmas to you and Jah.
I worked with Sal at a theater in FL. Less than a month later I saw the news of his murder in the paper. All I ever heard was it was an ex boyfriend that killed him.
Thanks for the true story.
In that gallery, you can catch some of the work of the great rock photographer Henry Diltz who took the cover photos of so many legendary album covers and so much more.
Henry did the album cover for Morrison Hotel by the Doors... He's awesome and still working. In 2015, he came to Nashville with Patty Boyd, George Harrison's first wife and Eric Claptons... She's a photographer too. I wanted to go to this event but tickets were sold out😞
Interesting as usual. Merry Christmas Jordan x
I like your posts,but most of all, I love your little dog. 🐕
Nice video and it is fun that you visit the sites, etc. Sal was not killed for drug money and then never robbed so instead they stab him in the chest and leave everything - watch, car keys, everything left. That is NOT how it works. It was a hit, so now you can investigate further if you like.
I've been waiting on this video for years. My mom was a big fan of Sal Mineo...going to share your video with her.
🎄Happy Holidays Jordan🎄
You’ve really outdone yourself the last 7 days. Wow. Always great content but especially so lately. Thanks. Have a great Christmas.
