James Dean

James Deen was an influential Hollywood actor, who died young, while driving his sportscar.

Dean was considered very handsome, and hid his sexuality so he could play the love interest in movies.[1]

His draft board classified him as "4F", after he told them he was a homosexual.[1]

According to Anger, Dean avoided the Korean War by informing his draft board back home in Indiana that he was homosexual. As Dean became a Hollywood fixture, Anger continued, 'The predatory night prowler, who dug anonymous sex… had gotten into beatings, boots, belts, and bondage scenes.' For those compelled to know, Anger cleared up the mystery of Dean’s Brando-like scratching in Rebel Without a Cause. Method acting tics? Not at all. 'James Dean was host to a thriving colony of crabs.'
