HELL-ON-WHEELS...
He made only 3 movies before he died , was probably bio-polar, was an insecure insomniac, played the recorder, --- an impossibly sensitive loner... He was very co-ordinated, could do a somersault and keep walking, effortlessly. His favorite book was the "Little Prince," by Antoine de Sainte-Exupery. He wasn't born a city kid; he grew up on a Indiana farm. He made X-rated sculptures in clay. He studied at the Actor's Studio, where you had to tryout and the competition was fierce. His sweet mom died young and he never got over that; he was estranged from his cold-natured father. There were some rumors that he got his girlfriend, starlet Pier Angeli, pregnant, and was very angry, cried bitterly when she married singer Vic Damone... BUT, --- there was no denying it, --- he was talented, fascinating to watch on the screen. People loved him, --- or hated him. There was never anyone like him; there has never been anyone like him since...
