Sal Mineo: New York
built 274 days ago
Mineo went from working class origins to a person who made millions, managed unprofessionally. Mineo is shown to be a big spender, wanting a glamorous image. Unsurprisingly, the money left. In part, "Money supposed to be in a trust fund wasn't there." (p. 122) The outcome was merely hiring a new business manager and getting an agent for the first time.

Residents of New York City’s crime-ridden Hell’s Kitchen neighborhood predicted that Salvatore Mineo Jr. would come to a bad end. The slight boy they called "Junior" in elementary school was a playground brawler, thief, and gang member, according to Marvin J. Wolf and Katherine Mader in Fallen Angels. The biographers wrote that acquaintances predicted he would wind up on the wrong end of a knife.

When Joseph Cates died in 1998 he had, in a sense, joined Sal Mineo as a victim of the film’s reputation. After Who Killed Teddy Bear, Mineo took to the stage in New York and Los Angeles , while Cates made his third and final feature—a forgettable Jayne Mansfield vehicle co-starring Phyllis Diller and titled The Fat Spy—in 1966 and returned to television. His obituary in Time Magazine made no mention of his three feature films, all of which were produced in a six-year period, focusing instead on “The $64,000 Question,” which he co-produced, and the work he did on “more than 1,000 made-for-TV specials.”
