Did james dean and marilyn monroe ever date??

and can anybody give me a link with that picture that marilyn and james took together on the motorcycle??

There is no reason to believe that Dean and Monroe ever met, let alone dated.

I found the following at http://en.allexperts.com/q/monroe-marily... :

"James Dean and Marilyn Monroe most certainly never dated. The nearest they almost got to one another was at the New York Premiere for East Of Eden in 1955; Marilyn was an usher and James Dean, although he didn't attend the premiere officially, no doubt drove by at some point to have a look at all the hoopla for his first starring movie role. Marilyn and James Dean had mutual acquaintances, particularly so because they both attended the Actors' Studio in New York (but not at the same time, Jimmy was dead by the time Marilyn started attending the Studio). So there is no evidence to say the two ever met, although nowadays they are quite often pictured together in drawings and such. The two were huge icons - although James Dean was never one during his lifetime like Marilyn was. I have often wondered would the two of them gotten on - both were moody, introspective, talented, troubled by the loss of their mothers and the absence of their fathers in their lives. Unfortunately it's something I can only ponder..."

Similar denials can be found elsewhere on the net.

As to the motorcycle picture, it's a painting, not a photograph, and you can see it here: http://i10.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/9d/fe/df...

Here's another painting of Dean and Monroe together: http://i2.ebayimg.com/02/i/000/92/29/d89...
