[QUOTE="Snarky Oracle!, post: 387595, member: 57984"] The very definition of Capricorn, Sal Mineo co-starred with James Dean in GIANT and REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE, receiving an Oscar nomination for the latter and a second for EXODUS. He was a good actor, and by reputation was nothing like the nasty villains he enjoyed playing often. His career nose-dived in the '60s and he was blackballed by James Caan who claimed he'd walk off the set of THE GODFATHER if Francis Ford Coppola hired "that phaggot" for the film. He was murdered, supposedly by a robber, in the carport of his apartment building, in February 1976 at the age of 37. He was doing a play and was in discussion with his friend, director Peter Bogdanovich, about doing a film (he'd talked Peter into doing THE LAST PICTURE SHOW) when Sal was killed. Would Mineo have made a comeback? It seems likely, although I always wonder if A.I.D.S. would have claimed him in the '80s.
