So Many Rebel Without A Cause Actors Died Tragically

James Dean starred in three iconic films in his short career, but it’s his character in Rebel Without a Cause that came to define him. The film starred Dean alongside Natalie Wood and Sal Mineo, but sadly all three of them had their careers cut short by tragedy. Dean famously died in a car accident when he was just 24, and Wood’s drowning death continues to raise questions to this day, but not as many people know about the horrifying murder of Sal Mineo. They weren’t the only actors from the film to die under sad circumstances either, so let’s take a look at the tragic deaths of the stars of Rebel Without a Cause.

[ShanecaRene]

what are you kidding me james Dean was one hell of a actor

[VisuallyImpairedGamer]

Rebel without a Cause is well before my time, but I find it we'll go with interesting that James Dean's character in the movie has the last name Stark and the serial killer Charles Starkweather was obsessed with James Dean.

The hospital James Dean was not in Salinas it was in Paso Robles, Ca. The actual accident took place about 1/2 hour to the east of Paso Robles in a rural town called Cholame

As geez, I guess nobody told the Chief how much we loved him 😞

[MikeS-vs]

I don't why I fell out laughing so hard when I saw Edward Platt, I always refer to him as "The Chief from Get Smart. RIP to them all, and Dennis Hopper who also had a small role in the movie.

Sad how they all died tragically. Love Sal Mineo

All the actors were great, Oscar Isaac from Star Wars reminds me of a modern-day Sal Mineo.

Sal Mineo was also nominated for an Oscar for Exodus in 1961. Some of his other films were "The Gene Krupa Story" where he portrayed Gene Krupa, Giant, The Longest Day, "The Greatest Story Ever Told"." Who Killed Teddy Bear.?" In an interview he said he really enjoyed directing. He directed the play "Fortune in Men's Eyes". in Los Angeles and New York. I don't think he went directly from teen idol to bit parts on television. Actually, I think he was always Billed as a Guest Star in his roles on television, as most fairly well-known actors are. At the time of his death, he was in rehearsals for "P.S. Your Cat is Dead" co-starring Keir Dullea, which was opening at what is now the Geffen Playhouse in Los Angeles. He was returning from rehearsals when he was stabbed.

Could you please get rid of that dreadful background noise ruins the video.

[qsmooth]

Make one on Tupac And his mysterious death and of course a lot of people who used to be around him are now dead which is crazy

[deanpd]

No surprises here, half of Hollywood die tragically cos the devil never plays it on the level.

[mikegibbons]

If I committed suicide from the sadness I hold due the tragic demise of these actors, it would come full circle. Now thats poetry!

[dumbmut]

I just had a seizure trying to read this title

Young Natalie Wood reminds me of Claire Wood from Hollywood!
