Liz revealed a Shocking Secret about Jimmy!

Elizabeth Taylor knew a painful secret about close friend James Dean—but, in a 1997 interview with Kevin Sessums, she asked the journalist not to reveal it until after her death. In a column for the Daily Beast, Sessums recalls that interview for POZ, a magazine dedicated to AIDS activism. "I loved Jimmy," she said of her co-star and friend. "I'm going to tell you something, but it's off the record until I die. OK? When Jimmy was 11 and his mother passed away, he began to be molested by his minister."

"I think that haunted him the rest of his life. In fact, I know it did," she continued. "We talked about it a lot. During Giant we'd stay up nights and talk and talk, and that was one of the things he confessed to me."
