Rebel Without a Cause was the film that turned James Dean into a global star, but many do not know that Marlon Brando actually auditioned for a part in the film.
Warner Brothers had been developing the script for quite some time and Brando auditioned for the role of Harold, before moving on to the amazing A Streetcar Named Desire.
Amazing footage here of young star in the making… Only 23.
