[QUOTE="Willie Oleson, post: 389211, member: 8"] He also took a good beating in THE CHASE. I haven't seen any of his earlier films that made him a star to begin with and therefore I'm not the person to comment on his acting skills, but I do know that he's become a name-dropping favourite of almost mythical proportions. In the case of James Dean I can understand the sentiment that has coloured the audience's perception of him as a Motion Picture Icon. I'm not saying that Marlon Brando doesn't deserve the worshipping, but he doesn't deserve it [I]more[/I] than the many, many actors and actresses who have given some of the most dedicated and fearless performances - and often consistently throughout their careers - and doing so without any of the "big name filmstar" shenanigans.
