How lucky did you get! To meet and spend some time with Sal. Sounds like he was a very nice person. What a wonderful memory you have of him. Thank you for sharing it with us. 💞
I'm so surprised that this video doesn't have more views, this is a great story! I was only a baby when Sal was murdered he's one of my all time favorite old Hollywood actors. What an incredible interaction you had , you're lucky!
Its so awesome hearing people with these stories. It was such simpler times where you could meet all the starts personally. I wish I could have been born then to experience those days
Thank you so much for sharing that story about Sal, Brian...I was only in the eighth grade when Sal died, but, I definitely knew his name, probably from "Who Killed Teddy Bear?" which I saw an ad for. LOL When I was sixteen, I watched "Rebel Without a Cause" on the late show in 1978 with some family members...I was trying to deal with my own feelings at the time, but, without much luck...Anyway, when Plato says to Jimmy, "Do you want to come over to my house? No one is home..." That line hit me me, like, 'Woah!!!' My sister said, "I think he's gay..." Right on, sis...He still needs a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame...C'mon , already!!! Peace and Love
Your post resonates with me , I loved Rebel without a cause from the first time I saw it when I was aged 15. Only much later in life did I appreciate the the tension and complexed relationship between the characters Jim and Plato. However it's crystal clear now. Especially now I understand my situation.
wonderful presentation. I especially appreciate how relaxed you appear before the camera. A great slice of social history. Thank You Charles from Eve Green
What a wonderful story! Sal was stunning and you were so lucky to actually meet him, I knew nothing about Sal until I saw an Instagram post about him last week and then I explored and found out all about him, James Dean, his movies and terrible end, everything I have read says he was lovely and kind. Thank you
Certainly appreciate your time to share w/ us. Remarkable story/storyteller; you must be a writer. Terribly tragic to lose so many tremendous actors so damn early of that film. I'm about to click your name in hopes of more wonderful stories! Smashing the subscribe button now! Paul.
This was an excellent story. So very interesting about your meeting with such a great and famous actor such was Sal Mineo. What I can't understand why you only have 16,000 views. I have some shitty videos from 2017 that have more views than that and the only famous gay that I ever met was Tiny Tim!!!....jajaja. I found your video easy enough, but what I think it is, is that most young people today have no idea who Sal Mineo is ( or was) and his great importance and valor in not only being a superb actor, but being probably one of the first openly gay actors in the world, and an absolutely gorgeous one at that!
I was in Istanbul, Turkey, back in the summer of 1975 and looking through a magazine rack at Turkish movie star magazines. I couldn't get over the fact that many had covers and big articles about Sal Mineo??? I asked the concierge back at my hotel about this and told me it was because Mineo looked like he could be Turkish. Apparently, the other American stars looked too western. I had an occasion to return to Istanbul a year later, just after Mineo had been murdered. There were any number of magazines running big memorial issues about his death. I've always wondered if Mineo was aware that he was extremely popular in the Middle East?
Sal was my cousin. My Grandpa talked a lot about Sal a lot. If you wanted to 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?
That's so cool, i study acting and i think he was a very talented and gifted actor, very underrated. He seemed like one cool dude, i wish he had lived longer. Best wishes to you, Grandpa and all your family
All the stars of “Rebel Without a Cause” died young and very tragically. Sal Mineo was stabbed outside his apartment in a botched robbery. His killer had no idea who he was and struck at random. He died on the sidewalk from his wounds.
Beautiful story, thank you so much. Sal was so brilliant, with so so much left to do. I do hope that Tom made it through the disaster soon to hit the gay community and is as well as you look in this video! Peace and love from Wales.
The american justice system is an fn joke. Probably the worst in the world. In Mexico, the killer of somebody famous like that, would de erased in short order.
First to go was James Dean in 1955, in a head on traffic accident, then almost 20 yrs later, Sal Mineo stabbed to death in a robbery attempt. Finally Natalie Wood died 5 yrs later in 1981. She drowned off the coast of Catalina Island....a sad ending to all three actors!!!
Will A.M.F.-ALBERT MICHAEL FORTUNATO, should He be Destined to be Born, whoever His Parents will be to do It, perfectly or very closely resemble SAL MINEO?
This man sure speaks.hes met salvation, miner's, a clubs, but public, realize. You weren't born.that times. 30s or 40s so. Needs too listen. So thats could had.somesthing. too. With his death.
I think Sal was the most handsome actor ever. Real eye candy. I’m a chick. I think lots of women find him gorgeous. I was a little girl when he died. Such a sad end to a young life. I’m a Christian and disagree w the orientation. Look up Sy Rogers- great story
WTF is this supposed to mean? Keep your negative views to yourself. Sal Mineo had to deal with this crap his whole career. He doesn't need for it to follow him to the grave! Geez, some people!

Sal was murdered my during my 11th year in high school. Time truly flies and is no friend to anyone.
RIP Mr Sal Mineo. Thank You for Sharing your Talent SIR.

Agreed. Check out his profile for more vids x
What an interesting recollection! Thank you.
It was very cool hearing your story. What a tragic way for Sal to leave this world. Thank you Mr. Rhodes for sharing.
Thank you Mr. Rhodes... First hand accounts mean so much. (Only just finding your account.) F.
Not only was sal mineo robbed of his career he was also robbed of his life
Thanks for the great story.

Fortune and Men's Eyes was the play.

He was in Exodus. That wouldnt hurt 'Middle East Popularity'.
Today Commemorates Sal Mineo's 80th Birthday
Sal Mineo was a shinning star very very young 16 years old in REBEL so sad RIP Nice to watch the video History preserved and shared.
Sal was my cousin. My Grandpa talked a lot about Sal a lot. If you wanted to 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?

Hello jace Williams I’m interest to know more about your cousin
Please tell us more if you can 😭😭
I love this. Thanks for sharing, Brian!

Great Story. Thanks for sharing. Such a waste of life and unfortunate end to a wonderful talent. That goes for James Dean too.
Not a Waste at all..He had an Amazing life. .
The dude who murdered Sal and robbed the world of a great actor is walking free. So much for justice.
The american justice system is an fn joke. Probably the worst in the world. In Mexico, the killer of somebody famous like that, would de erased in short order.
Unfortunately homophobia and racism
(Sees this in my recommendeds) You have my attention! Liked and subscribed!
Very cool!!! Thanks!
It was memorable!
First to go was James Dean in 1955, in a head on traffic accident, then almost 20 yrs later, Sal Mineo stabbed to death in a robbery attempt. Finally Natalie Wood died 5 yrs later in 1981. She drowned off the coast of Catalina Island....a sad ending to all three actors!!!
Natalie death mired in mystery.
Thanks 🙏 for sharing a wonderful moment in time ..very cool indeed
"Fortune in men's eyes."
I saw the play. In Hollywood.
Dino was his best movie.
Thanks for sharing this tidbit with us. A Sal Mineo fan.
Malissa... he was so personable and his eyes! They really did sparkle. He had a smile that would melt you. He was electric.
lovely story
Great story teller! Encapsulated the 70s zeitgeist.
Thank you.
Ps How are you doing during the crazy 2020/21 years?
I just found this . Great great story
Will A.M.F.-ALBERT MICHAEL FORTUNATO, should He be Destined to be Born, whoever His Parents will be to do It, perfectly or very closely resemble SAL MINEO?
thank you.
Geeeeezzzzzz. How old is this guy?
Trippy story!
It îs one thing to talk, another thing to do It actually. Dean said a lot...with his carisma..but It does'nt mean he did all those thing.
You were older than him????🤔
To see where sal was murdered check out daze with Jordan the lion sal mineo on TH-cam.
both he and dean correct?
It's true that they both had an affair together.Apperantly they both had a thing for S & M.
Fillum lol
Too bad the audio is so terrible.... pump it up
This man sure speaks.hes met salvation, miner's, a clubs, but public, realize. You weren't born.that times. 30s or 40s so. Needs too listen. So thats could had.somesthing. too. With his death.
It could.be true but elder men are often all lies. I wish we could.know.
Who says “fillum”??
Many Irish people, perhaps he's of Irish origin.
♥️🙏❤️
Fil-ulm?

I think Sal was the most handsome actor ever. Real eye candy. I’m a chick. I think lots of women find him gorgeous. I was a little girl when he died. Such a sad end to a young life. I’m a Christian and disagree w the orientation. Look up Sy Rogers- great story
🤢🤢🤢🤢
Geez I can’t stand all the “uhs” terrible
Can't watch...fillum.
Good actually. He has been actress. But gay not so much good. Rest In peace
WTF is this supposed to mean? Keep your negative views to yourself. Sal Mineo had to deal with this crap his whole career. He doesn't need for it to follow him to the grave! Geez, some people!
Patrick Odonnell shut up and mind our own, dumbass
😐
Pointless dribble, poorly presented, you know, about a gay icon, you know that presents only a droplet of interesting info, you know. AVOID
You're a numbskull
