James Dean; a young aspiring actor and cultural icon. Born February 8th, 1933 in Indiana. As a child he lived an average farm life until his father moved their family to Santa Monica for work purposes. Once James had adapted to his new life style and surroundings, his mother who he was very close to passed away due to cancer. James' father then sent him back to Indiana to live with his aunt and uncle. Seeking help and guidance, James would talk to his pastor, James DeWeerd. The pastor is what formed the spark of interest in racing and cars within James. It was said that they had a very intimate (possibly even sexual) relationship.
After graduating from the University of California, he had black mailed an Arabian boy and won himself a free trip to Hollywood. James was first cast in small roles such as a sail in the 1953 musical comedy Sailor Beware. Two years later he had finally scored a big role in the movie East of Eden. After getting so much publicity he starred majorly in movies such as Rebel Without a Cause and Giant. James became a huge influence on teens all across America. Sadly while starring in one of his last movies, Giant, he got into a car crash and died. Luckily the passenger in his car was injured but not yet.
Although James may have been a pretty good guy, he's going to hell. Specifically th circle of Violence. It was said that James never classified what sex he preferred to be intimate with. In Dantes Inferno he committed the act of violence against nature; meaning that being gay or not always conforming to the opposite sex puts you in hell. I don't exactly agree with this concept, but according to Dante that's how things have to be, and for the record it's obvious James Dean was not straight. Even though he had a few relationships with other movie stars, he played in both sandboxes.
