Paul Newman - rare screen test footage

Sad to hear of Paul Newman's death today.

Here's a rare early screen test by Paul and James Dean.

Even back then you could see they'd be stars.

The screen test was for East of Eden in 1955.

Paul was testing for the role of Aron Trask, while Dean was testing for the role of Aron's older brother Cal Trask (even though Newman is older than Dean).

Dean won the part of Cal, while the role Newman was up for went to Richard Davalos.
