Live Fast, Die Young is a 1958 American film noir crime film directed by Paul Henreid starring Mary Murphy, Norma Eberhardt, Mike Connors and Sheridan Comerate. Considered a cult film, promotional campaigns used the tagline "a sin-steeped story of the rise of the Beat Generation."
It was also known as Seed of Violence. Troy Donahue was borrowed from Universal Pictures to play his role.

Plot

Two sisters, Kim Winters and Jill Winters run away from their home and school. They escape to the city, where they become criminals and jewelry thieves.

Cast

A cult classic, Norma Eberhardt noted that, "The film tapped into what kids were feeling – that society sucked and they were rebelling against it." Screenshots of Eberhardt were printed onto T-shirts worn by Slash, the guitarist of Guns N' Roses, in 2007. Eberhardt was described as "highly amused" by Slash's wardrobe.
