Last Surviving Rebel Without a Cause Cast Member Dies at 75
Corey Allen, who became the last surviving principal cast member of Rebel Without a Cause after Dennis Hopper's death a month ago, died Sunday of natural causes. Allen played Buzz Gunderson in the 1955 classic, winding up on the losing end of that chicken race against James Dean's Jim Stark. Allen later went on to direct TV, winning an Emmy in 1983 for an episode of Hill Street Blues. He was 75 years old -- and would have turned 76 today. RIP. [PopEater]

He was a great director and a fabulous actor! I had the pleasure of watching his final film QUARANTINED and I have to say that he was hysterical in it. I bought the dvd on Amazon.com just because he was in it. The guy is a LEGEND!
