Was James Dean bisexual?

James Dean was gay, according to Elizabeth Taylor — but that didn’t stop him from having an affair with Geraldine Page, a new biography reveals.
Taylor included Dean with Rock Hudson and Montgomery Clift when she named her gay friends, but the “Rebel Without a Cause” icon was a switch-hitter, according to “Being James Dean” (RosettaBooks).
Author Paul Alexander documents an affair Dean had with Oscar-winning actress Page while they were appearing on Broadway in “The Immoralist.” The couple often ended up together in a brass bed, which inspired Dean to make a series of drawings for Page that she cherished.
The showmance ended only when Dean left to shoot “East of Eden” for Elia Kazan.
“According to my mother, the affair went on for 3 ¹/₂ months,” Angelica Page, Geraldine’s daughter, is quoted as saying. “I believe they were artistic soul mates.”
