Did anybody see that clip of Ronald Reagan & James Dean from GE Theatre on NBC News?

Apparently it was a lost film of James Dean and Ronald Reagan on GE Theatre in 1954. It was only shown once. At one point Dean asks Reagan why he doesn't hit him and Reagan says, "Because if I begin--I don't think I could stop" and then he roughly shoves Dean onto a chair.

Academy Award acting :)

3. I can remember my Dad saying that he was a lousy actor and

that he cooperated with the "witchhunts" of the McCarthy era. He had a big hand in blacklisting actors, writers and producers in Hollywood. To think that he was once the President of the Screen Actors Guild, it just boggles the mind. :puke: :puke:

4. Ronnie actually wasn't a very good actor. Dean wipes the floor with him and they both had bad

dialog. It is obvious why Dean was a star and Ronnie wasn't.
