James Dean and Paul Newman flirt during East of Eden screen test

James Dean and Paul Newman flirt during their 1954 screen test for Elia Kazan’s East of Eden. Rumor has it Eartha Kitt had a threesome with the handsome actors. She once said: “That time back in my dance studio ranks as one of the most celestial experiences of my life. Those two beauties transported me to heaven. I never knew that lovemaking could be so beautiful.”
