did you ever notice...

did you notice that the three major players of Rebel Without a Cause (James Dean, Sal Mineo, and Natalie Wood) have all come to fatal ends? James Dean was killed in a car accident, Sal was beaten to death, and Wood was pushed off a boat by someone, we don't know who. When things as peculiar as this happens, stars from the same movie dying, a curse is usually the term people use. So, could there be a 'Rebel' curse? Probably not since all these people died so long ago, but it's strange.

Yea so sad. I was talking to my co-worker just today about this. Three great actors all dying young and tragically. Rebel was such a fantastic film and masterpiece.

Sal wasn't beaten to death, he was stabbed and Natalie, we don't know much except that she drowned.

it's discussed more in a later thread, clearly for me, star whacking by secret society, maybe just like george michael, who know, carry fisher!

No, because there is no such thing as curses.

Mineo was stabbed, not beaten to death. Wood most likely accidentally fell into the water, where she drowned, but nobody knows for sure.
