Salvatore (Sal) Mineo Jr. was born to Josephine and Sal Sr. (a casket
maker), who emigrated to the U.S. from Sicily. His siblings were
Michael, Victor and Sarina. Sal was thrown out of parochial school and,
by age eight, was a member of a street gang in a tough Bronx
neighborhood. His mother enrolled him in dancing school and, after
being arrested for robbery at age ten, he was given a choice of
juvenile confinement or professional acting school.He soon appeared in the theatrical production "The Rose Tattoo" with
Maureen Stapleton and
Eli Wallach and as the young prince in "The
King and I" with Gertrude Lawrence and
Yul Brynner. At age 16 he played a much
younger boy in
Six Bridges to Cross (1955)
with Tony Curtis and later that same
year played Plato in James Dean's
Rebel Without a Cause (1955).
He was nominated for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in this
film and again for his role as Dov Landau in
Exodus (1960).Expanding his repertoire, Mineo returned to the theatre to direct and
star in the play "Fortune and Men's Eyes" with successful runs in both
New York and Los Angeles. In the late 1960s and 1970s he continued to
work steadily in supporting roles on TV and in film, including Dr. Milo
in
Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
and Harry O (1973). In 1975 he
returned to the stage in the San Francisco hit production of "P.S. Your
Cat Is Dead". Preparing to open the play in Los Angeles in 1976 with
Keir Dullea, he returned home from rehearsal
the evening of February 12th when he was attacked and stabbed to death
by a stranger. A drifter named Lionel Ray Williams was arrested for the
crime and, after trial in 1979, convicted and sentenced to life in
prison for the murder, but was paroled in 1990. Although taken away far too soon, the memory of
Sal Mineo continues to live on through the large body of TV and film
work that he left behind.
