Kiss me. Can't here. A present from me (and K) to you

[hackthis_archive]

Many many moons ago, kattiya told me of a legend. The legend of James Dean and Paul Newman. Yes, pause. Breathe. The story goes that Paul Newman and James Dean did a screen test years ago for East of Eden, which you know, is a lot of hotass in one place, but the money shot being that they were involved. I was understandably dubious. And then I saw the clip below.

Whether the shenanigans went down before, during or after this test I'll let you judge, but let me tell you, I can't even call this UST. I know couples that don't ignite like this. In fact, let's call it, as kattiya says, "There is stuff happening." You cannot listen to Paul's nervous laugh, see the way he looks at Jimmy, or the way they mention *kissing* and call this straight.

The only straight thing here is the camera angle. Enjoy, babies.

There's a better version of the second half

So. Where is the slash for this? C'mon folks.

Wow, Paul Newman is so obviously crushing on James Dean, that's amazing!

I recently read that Laurence Olivier had an affair with Danny Kaye. It is actually funny, how many male movie stars I adored when I was younger (Danny Kaye, for example), were actually gay or at least bi. I still vividly remember my crush on Montgomery Clift in Red River. Good Times.

Oh man, Montgomery Clift. He was stunning.

I didn't know about Olivier and Danny Kaye! I love Danny Kaye!

I didn`t know Danny Kaye was gay. Period. Always love Danny Kaye. He shows up in a movie and I smile. And *fans herself* Monty Cliff...

I did a paper on Olivier once in school, and I remember the evidence being fairly convincing that he and Kaye were lovers for years. They were both with women at the same time also, iirc.
