[Mrs. Vedder]

September 30, 2005

50 years since this BEAUTIFUL man passed away!! Aww, James Dean is my ideal dream man....

~Remembering James Dean~

I love Rebel Without A Cause!! I just finished watching it actually so it prompt me to do this thread. He was an amazing talent, so tragic that he died a horrible death (the crash pics are so ) at such a young age... FOREVER 24!! R.I.P James.

" you ever been in a chickie run"?
" sure, its all I ever do".
I used to live right next to where they filmed this, we would always pretend to have a knife fight right where it was filmed.

Wonder how far his career would have taken him had he not had that tragic accident at such a young age. Really a shame!

I have this great interview with him, talking about driving fast, and he says " drive safe, you might save my life". Months after that, he was killed.

That just gives me chills

Yep--I agree.

I'm a big fan and I've gone down to the festival in his hometown (always held the last weekend of September) 3 times. Lots of fun and the James Dean lookalike contest rules

he rally was a great actor. and he's a myth coz of that tragic death...
some says he wanted to put an end to his life coz he was in love with someone and could not be with her.
I don't know if that's real or he just had a "common" car crash.. anyway, I hope he founded his peace!
