Spooky James Dean

[Ronnie Jersey]

I know there are many rumors about James Dean being gay, but this book by actress Liz Sheridan claims she and Dean lived together in New York City before he hit it big:

Liz Sheridan was the actress who played Jerry Seinfeld's mother on his hit show 'Seinfeld'.

I have no indication whether these have been withheld or whether they were destroyed after his death along with the rest of his papers that his father and friends felt could compromise his reputation.

We've had a discussion on'ere about papers being destroyed after the deaths of prominent people.
Queen Victoria's diaries, including accounts of her many pregnancies, were destroyed according to her wishes.

As @asparagus mentioned a while back, Franz Kafka's papers were due to be destroyed after his death but his heir Max Brod kept it all. The world is a better place thanks to Max.

I was searching for a photo of Sheridan and Dean together, and that photo kept coming up, that and Dean with Pier Angeli -

I want to read her book though, she probably has photos of them in the book.
She did pass away in 2022.

An interesting auction.

The largest ever auction of James Dean’s legal, business, and personal documents from the estate of his agent, Jane Deacy, closed last night (May 25) with mixed results.

A few high-profile items sold for high prices, notably Dean’s East of Eden contract, which went for $23,000, his handwritten letters, which sold for $11,000 each, and an autographed photo, which brought $15,000 (prices include the 25% buyer’s premium). Many of the lots, however, sold close to the minimum bid, and a large number, including many items autographed by Dean, did not sell at all. (They are currently for sale in a post-auction clearance at the minimum bid price.) ...
