Natashawood - The Sweetheart Tree

Natalie said her favorite scene in Rebel Without a Cause was one she shared with James Dean that was cut from the film.

“It was in the car. I was waiting for him and he comes up and we talk to each other. There was a section of the scene where I imply that I’ve sort of been around, that I’m not really pure.

I say to him, ‘Do you think that’s bad?’ And he says ‘No, I just think it’s lonely. It’s the loneliest time.’

I thought it was a wonderful line—right on the cutting room floor.”

He arrived late for the first rehearsal, roaring in on his motorcycle, dressed in jeans, a dirty T-shirt, and a large safety pin holding his fly together. “He was exactly what I expected. A junior version of Marlon Brando. He mumbled so you could hardly hear what he was saying, and he seemed very exotic and eccentric and attractive.” Natalie Wood by Suzanne Finstad.
