Natalie said her favorite scene in Rebel Without a Cause was one she shared with James Dean that was cut from the film.

“It was in the car. I was waiting for him and he comes up and we talk to each other. There was a section of the scene where I imply that I’ve sort of been around, that I’m not really pure.

I say to him, ‘Do you think that’s bad?’ And he says ‘No, I just think it’s lonely. It’s the loneliest time.’

I thought it was a wonderful line—right on the cutting room floor.”

“She would just hold the knife horizontally across the front of her eyes,” [a friend] recalls, “and move her face up and down so she could see everything on the blade. I thought that was rather cute.” Natalie Wood by Suzanne Finstad.
