Here's one for you Fletch since you're in Hollywood...
Did Paul Newman have anything to do with the death of James Dean?
I saw this on a documentary the other day and drew my own conclusions (they made no reference of any such thing)....
But I guess they were both in the same circles to some degree & James Dean had the role for Rocky Graziano in "Somebody Up There Likes Me" locked up. Paul Newman wanted it badly but felt like he wasn't being given fair shot with Dean hogging the spotlight (that's what the docu said).
"Somebody up there likes me" was Paul Newmans first starring role I think.
He then went on to be Hollywoods most in-demand leading man (after Dean died).
Anyway not to knock Paul Newman.. he kicks ass
