It was a different time in...I agree with you Paul. It was a different time in Hollywoodland. Sal Mineo was very ethnic looking. The powers that be pandered to their audience. I remember Rita Moreno commenting on even after her success with "West Side Story", she struggled with acting jobs because they consisted of parts for housekeepers, Latina badgirls etc. She too, got pigeon holed. She just kept plugging along and now she an EGOT winner. It must have been disheartening to say the least for actors of colour. Everytime I see Sal on screen...he had that magic. I saw flashes of his magic, in his eyes, his mannerisms and his voice....Hollywoodland, in the beginning, as it is now, is a money making industry. What ever sold. Thx God, we have indy films now, financed by independent people...not just the big studios. Now, all people are being represented on film..which is wonderful. I am grateful for the gifts that Mr. Mineo was able to leave us..... How awful that Sal no doubt was killed by a hate crime...may he rest in peace.
