What about Natalie Wood? I don't remember hearing you mention her and I was always told they were an item?
@vaslav030547 Says:
I came across this video and it reminded me of the old Blackpool Pleasure Beach.
This guy has his head on upside down?
@M4ttNet Says:
Never knew anything about James Dean until I was doing genealogy and found he's a distant cousin under especially surprising distant shared Quaker ancestry. Learning his history and how he grew up on his aunt's Quaker farm that makes sense now. Since then I've found his acting to simply be amazing. A true shame we never saw what he could have achieved.
@reinilla Says:
U Irish? British?
@Knightchris03 Says:
I live about 20 to 30 mins from where James was born in Marion Indiana . Iv been to Marion quite a bit . Iv always looked up to James mostly because of where he came from . Such a small place but he still was able to make it out n become more then noticed . If only I had the talents this Man had . I so wish .

@jadehathaway4336 Says:
The only thing fiction about James Dean was his sexuality James Dean was never gay
@sociallyinadequate8598 Says:
Can't believe this man would later become the 37th president
@pckbread7543 Says:
Breaks my heart knowing that jimmy never got to experience just how wild the 60s and 70s racing scene would be, it would’ve been right up his alley and I bet he would’ve been a superstar in any of the major groups
@stevep4574 Says:
Kazan not Kaaazon😠
@bill2953 Says:
Hogging the screen there a bit? Newsflash people looking for info/insight on Dean don't need a pasty white "expert" just the narrative.
@craigbarron3706 Says:
James Dean was untapped acting genius and super stardom gone in a shortened life. Another untapped great dying though in different circumstances was the wasted talent of Heath Ledger, a genius of the acting craft cut down by his unrelenting perfectionism to create the ultimate character role......Both greats, RIP.

@sarcasticshgirl Says:
