Watch James Dean Ask Paul Newman to Kiss Him in "East of Eden" Screen Test, 1955 ———————————————————————— While Newman did not get the role he tested for in this film, his and Dean's careers were tragically intertwined. Arguably, Newman's big break into Hollywood came in the role of Rocky Graziano in the following year's "Somebody Up There Likes Me (1956)."
