&nbsp;NEW YORK</span> Page Three</strong> by Joe Bonelli &nbsp; (Copywright 2001 by Joseph H. Bonelli) <p> After Fortune settled in, Sal left New York and staged two more productions of Fortune-- one in San Francisco (where he cast a person who was to figure prominently in his life for the all-to-short remainder of it, <b>Courtney Burr</b> in the role of  <b>Smitty</b> ) and one in Honolulu (in which Robert Redding took the role of  Queenie -- and from whence he would come to replace Michael Greer in the N.Y. production). &nbsp; Sal spent most of the New York run in other locales, stopping in occasionally. &nbsp;I ll tell some stories about the run. During the &nbsp;Thanksgiving season, we &nbsp;were to congregate for Turkey, at the home in Brooklyn Heights, of Jesse Will Deane, who was the understudy for Queenie. &nbsp; Jesse was from Starkville, Mississippi, and had changed his name, for obvious professional reasons, from  James Deane . &nbsp;The  Will was for his good friend, the character actor (later to be Grandpa Walton on tv), Will Geer. &nbsp;Jesse and his mother who was visiting, planned dinner for a group of us, including Sal. </p> <p> I spent the earlier part of the day at the movies. &nbsp;I went to an art theatre on the West Side to see the double bill of East of Eden and Rebel. &nbsp;I had never seen either on the big screen. Eden was first--- God, what a performance from Dean, et.al. &nbsp;Then came Rebel. &nbsp;What an experience to sit there and watch the person you had come to know.. &nbsp;And in such a trully brilliant and timeless performance!! The film finished and I left in a haze. &nbsp;I took the subway all the way to Brooklyn without really speaking to a sole. &nbsp; </p> <p> At Jesse s I knocked on the door and Sal Mineo opened it. &nbsp;I gasped and said:  You won t believe what I feel at this moment!! The strangest deja-vu ever!! . &nbsp;When I told him where I d been he reminded me that he had still not seen the film since it had come out. &nbsp;We all decided that we would go and see it together on our next off-day, Monday. &nbsp; One thing led to another and the only one who got there was Jesse Will Deane. &nbsp;Sal didn t make it. &nbsp; I still do NOT know if Sal EVER saw Rebel Without a Cause again. &nbsp;</p> <a href="fortune3c.html">Read the next installment of the Fortune Chronicles</a> </div> </td> </tr> <tr> <td background="../images/nav/sal_without2_14.jpg" class="text10" colspan="6" height="72" width="413"> <div style="text-align: center; font-weight: bold"> </div> </td> <td colspan="3"> <img alt="" height="72" src="../images/nav/sal_without2_15.jpg" width="190" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="72" src="../images/nav/sal_pic.jpg" width="78" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td background="../images/nav/sal_without2_17.jpg" colspan="6" height="91" width="506"> <div class="footer"> <script language="JavaScript" src="../jslinks.js"></script> © Sal Mineo 2010 &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; Web Design by Karen Hardcastle </div> </td> <td colspan="5"> <img alt="" height="91" src="../images/nav/sal_without2_18.jpg" width="269" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="94" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="69" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="36" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="119" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="107" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="81" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="1" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="25" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="89" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="76" /></td> <td> <img alt="" height="1" src="../images/nav/spacer.gif" width="78" /></td> </tr> </table> </div> </body> </html>
