What role was James Dean next scheduled to play when he died in 1955? Boxer Rocky Graziano. The film's title? Somebody Up There Likes Me.

[The role set Paul Newman on the road to stardom.]

[The shooting of Dean's climactic "last supper" monologue scene (actually dubbed by Nick Adams) in the film Giant wrapped three days before he died. So many visitors to his grave have chipped "mementos" off his head stone that its inscription is almost impossible to read.]
