Dean didn't say it as a line in any of his own movies. Nor did he coin it. But he was a fan of the classic 1949, noir film that made it a famous movie quote, Knock on Any Door.
Who said live fast die young?Motley's most popular novel, Knock on any Door, sold 47,000 copies in its first three weeks of release. Its hero Nick Romano famously said, “Live fast, die young, and leave a good-looking corpse.” The book was adapted into a 1949 film directed by Nicholas Ray and starring Humphrey Bogart.
