Trivia
Was found dead on the night of February 7, 1968. He was braced against the bedroom wall with his eyes staring wide open.
Screen and television actor.
Studied the martial arts under Ed Parker , along with Elvis Presley and other celebrities.
Children: Allyson Adams, born in 1960, and Jeb Stuart Adams, born in 1961.
He is a graduate of St. Peter's College.
He joined the U.S. Coast Guard in 1952, allegedly to avoid being drafted into the Army during the Korean War.
He became a close friend of James Dean after playing a small role in Rebel Without a Cause and reportedly was devastated when Dean was killed. Adams began behaving recklessly and was arrested for speeding nine times in one year. He was placed on probation, but the larger studios ignored the young actor, who had become a pariah.
Spent $8,500 on advertising to win a 1963 Best Supporting Actor Academy Award nomination for Twilight of Honor, but lost the award on Oscar night to Melvyn Douglas in Hud. Reportedly was devastated by the loss as he was sure he would win the Oscar.
Was friends with Robert Conrad.
Raised in Garfield, NJ
Brother-in-law of Judy Nugent.
He is one of four actors typically named in connection with the Rebel Without a Cause Curse, a widely repeated urban legend.
His death has been cited in articles and books on Hollywood's unsolved mysteries along with allegations that Adams was murdered, including claims that no trace of the liquid sedative paraldehyde (one of two drugs Adams died from) was ever found in his home, but a story in The Los Angeles Times reported that stoppered bottles with prescription labels were found in the medicine cabinet near the upstairs bedroom where Adams' body was discovered. Actor Robert Conrad (his best friend) has consistently maintained Adams' death was accidental. Some people have pointed out the fact that Adams died shortly before Elvis Presley filmed his Memphis Comeback concert.
