While Rebel Without a Cause is considered a classic, a lot of its cast met tragic, mysterious, and untimely ends. Here are all of the dearly departed cast members of the seemingly cursed film.
Following several one-offs on 1950s TV shows, James Dean broke into film in 1955, and instantly became a star with his roles in East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause. It was there that Dean basically originated the brooding cinematic anti-hero with his portrayal of Jim Stark, a tough, car-racing, knife-fighting teen suffering from deep-seated emotional trauma.
The following year, Dean starred in his third and final film, Giant, which, like Rebel, was released after his death.
While driving his Porsche to road races in Salinas, California, Dean was involved in a head-on accident at the intersection of two highways in a rural area. Rushed to War Memorial Hospital in Salinas, Dean was pronounced dead on arrival.
According to the physician who examined him, Dean suffered several broken bones and severe lacerations. It was a broken neck, however, that killed him instantly. Dean was only 24 years old.
