I loved Jimmy. I’m going to tell you something, but it’s off the record until I die. OK? When Jimmy was 11 and his mother passed away, he began to be molested by his minister. I think that haunted him the rest of his life. In fact, I know it did. We talked about it a lot. During Giant we’d stay up nights and talk and talk, and that was one of the things he confessed to me.
—Elizabeth Taylor, in a 1997 interview with Kevin Sessums, who puts her off the record comments about friend and co-star James Dean very much on the record now that she’s below ground

That rumor has been around for 40 years. Dean was a notorious fibber, prone to say things just to shock the listener.

Any time you see a story with doubtful details, check the byline, which is anomalously at the bottom of the story instead of under the headline. It will usually be “JD”.

This was a dumb story. Real dumb.

No wonder they always said dean was gay. Do you think he killed himself in the car crush because he couldnt accept his homosexuality? Food for thought, huh?
