Versatile actor, James Whitmore, who had been James Dean's acting teacher at UCLA and had encouraged Jimmy to move to New York to go to the Actor's studio if he really wanted to be a great actor , has passed away today from Lung Cancer in his Malibu Home.
James Dean in an interview with Heda Hopper had said this about Whitmore "There's always someone in your life who opens up your eyes. For me, that's Whitemore. He made me see myself. He opened me up, gave me the key."
James Whitmore is survived by actress-writer wife Noreen Nash and eight grand-children.
