Honestly, I can't stand either Rebel Without a Cause or East of Eden, though he is quite fantastic in both. The only reason to see them at this point in time (IMO) is simply to see all of his performances and sigh over what might have been if he hadn't died.
I agree about Liz. She was criminally underrated as an actress. I have always loved her work. When she had a good role, she could play the heck out of it. That was one of her iconic performances. I'm certain Miss Ellie on Dallas was based on Leslie in Giant.
There was no internet, so stuff didn't get saved forever until much later.
Which is likely another reason they did it. Not every soap viewer read every line of every soap mag, so it still would have been a surprise to a big portion of the audience.
