It's amazing that kids today don't know who Jimmy is/was. It is sad, because he's the eternal rebel in my eyes. I fell in love with him in 1975, aged 15. I love him to this day, and always will. I talk of him every single day, I LOVE him.
” All of us were touched by Jimmy, and he was touched by greatness.” “He could look in a delicatessen window and suddenly start waving at a bowl of prunes, like they were alive. He was childish in a charming way.”
There was so much to this man. But unfortunately the qualities that most people (especially actors)have grabbed onto is the rebel that was against good manners. This was not James but a small part of himself and his roles. So now that everybody’s an asshole a nice gentleman will come along and that will be the next rebel.
I saw Rebel Without a cause. East of eden. Giant. When made remember it all jimmy dean was incredible. James arness is as god as Eastwood. They all brought a character to life. I took 3 years of drama but ended up at NASA.
@Jarred Mello-Neyhart-May he had a rather bold quote for the conservative 1950's: "i'm not homosexual but I'm not going through life with one hand tied behind my back either"
As far as I've recherched ,there are only two of james Dean's friends alive, one is dizzy Sheridan, & another is a roommate, ,everyone else who worked ,or knew him personally are dead ,
Maybe its good thing that Dean left @ 24. He remained a mythical icon. Marlon lived 80 yrs. Once sexy bomb he was, his later life was sad, hard to watch.
He was speeding. There were witnesses who said they were traveling on the same road, and he passed by them like they were sitting still and they were going 50-60 mph.
He wasn't speeding at the time of his death. It has been technically reconstructed, and it was proven that he couldn't have been speeding. Turnupseed was in a large care and it was twilight. Jimmy's car was silver and very low, Turnupseed couldn't see the Porsche in that light.
@@ValTwineDeaner Witnesses were there who were interviewed said they were driving around 60mph and he went passed them like they were standing still right before the crash.
Steve p Hiya, I'm only going by the documentary I saw a few years ago (in recent years), where they did a scientific research, and did the journey, step by step, where they did a reconstruction and said it was impossible that he was doing more than 60 to 70 because with his car being aluminium, it would have been thrown into the field and the car would've been crushed to a pulp. People at the time, swore blind that Jimmy was in the passenger seat. I wish I could go back in time, and just stop him from even driving the car!! I guess we'll never know the exact truth eh - so sad. I still think he was the best actor ever. Although there are some very good actors today, no one can act with their body or whole being, as Jimmy did. I've thought about him every day since I first saw him on TV in his films, in September 1975. I was 15 then. It seems like yesterday. I live in England, UK. I went to the James Dean Festival in Fairmount Indian, in 2016. It had been a lifelong ambition. Are you from the USA? Val, xx
@@ValTwineDeaner Yes, I'm from Cleveland Ohio. I love James Dean as well and believe had he lived might have been one of the best actors ever. I have seen numerous documentaries on him and believe he was still speeding but maybe that was his destiny. Would love to go to Fairmount sometime for his anniversary and to see his upbringing.
Ha loved Pier, Dizzy Sheridan, Barbara Glenn, Christine White and a couple of male soul mates like William Bast. He loved people, no matter their gender, but he was too curious and restless to stick with one person...
always felt bad for Dean having to deal with Piers' old school Italian nightmare of a mother. Vic Damone?? that didn't last long. of course you're right it would of never lasted with Jimmy either.
James Dean 1955 - Porsche spyder 550 - he wa stopped for speeding in a 55 mph limit, he was been Followed by a 1955 Ford County Squire Station wagon pulling a trailer ! Also just watched CZcams video - James Dean's Spyder...Found? SEE 22 seconds says Serial number of car 550-0055
@@breejames6323 Indeed many many people did smoke in those day. From the 70's it was common knowledge smoking is bad for your health. Cigarettes are still for sale. People with masks go to shops to buy cigarettes. How ridiculous is that? The WHO advises the most stringent rules to avoid Corona. But the ic's are for years and years crowded with people suffering from ( often deadly) diseases related to smoking. So....you don't think it is silly to act like a chimney ? 😂. Now that is all i had to say.
James Dean was so amazing beautiful and talented love this so much thank s ❤️👍🏼
Always James Dean♥24
The light that burns twice as bright only burns half as long 🙏
My god he was some actor he believed in ever line he act in ever film no body could touch him
JAMES DEAN LIVED LIFE IN THE FAST LANE RIP SWEET ANGEL ❤️
This two-part documentary was excellent. The script/narration caught the real James Dean.
4:55

He’s also even more relevant is people can make them their own man .....he belonged to no one....And that is what also makes him so endearing
Wow. Finding things about him all the time x
” All of us were touched by Jimmy, and he was touched by greatness.” “He could look in a delicatessen window and suddenly start waving at a bowl of prunes, like they were alive. He was childish in a charming way.”
15:19 "The life you might save might be mine." Wow, that seems so sad and spooky. RIP Jimmy
I will see him one day
Me too, I've said that since I first saw him in 1975 on TV. We WILL meet him one day, eh. x

he was not gay
Probably bi

He wasn't straight either, he was bisexual.
@Jarred Mello-Neyhart-May he had a rather bold quote for the conservative 1950's: "i'm not homosexual but I'm not going through life with one hand tied behind my back either"
Bi-...Probably he adored the beauty in women n men. He wanted to be with Marlon at any cost.
As far as I've recherched ,there are only two of james Dean's friends alive, one is dizzy Sheridan, & another is a roommate, ,everyone else who worked ,or knew him personally are dead ,
Jack Grinnage is still around from Rebel, probably about 90 now.
sad how the 3 leads from "Rebel" all died while they were still relatively young.
Lew Bracker is still alive.
Maybe its good thing that Dean left @ 24. He remained a mythical icon. Marlon lived 80 yrs. Once sexy bomb he was, his later life was sad, hard to watch.
We had similar thoughts while we were making the program.

That's because he never met me. He'd have stayed with me till the end of time.
The fact that JD was driving THAT low visibility, fast car, was, in fact, most of why he died that day. Berris lived in denial about that.
he would have made it to the race if Donaled Turnipseed hadn't have turned left in front of him. yes he was driving a porsche but he wasn't invisible.
@@haintedhouse2990 One need not be completely invisible in order to be difficult to see, as if Turnipseed was completely at fault.
@@Jeff-bz6jp not completely. just mostly.
He must know why he dont find Happines!

Repose en paix
its said he was very bi.....
This silly cigarettes on almost ALL his pictures. Sturdy!! NOT.
He smokes so who cares . Everyone in the 50’s did .
Did you come here on a video just to say that ?

No mention of a turn signal. If Turnupseed did not turn on his turn signal he caused the accident. Did anyone see a turn signal on?
