His brief career was as bright as a meteor, running like a golden tear across the dark face of night. He was a genius and totally individual man that changed our horizons back then, and inspired us who appreciate him to this day and beyond!! Reunited with his beloved mother now in heaven.
That's all true. These days I caught myself thinking about that, that he found his peace near to his mother. Who know him, knows that's was all that he really wanted.
His death will always make me mad. He was truly talented and as many others, I'd kill to see him develop as an actor. Just 10 to 20 more years of him being alive would've already been good. He was something else, even today people remember him and are inspired by his style. - Over 60 years later! He could've been even bigger than he was and is now. It makes me so frustrated that he died so young, it really does. He froze in beauty and became young forever. Rest in peace.
A million years may come and go and there will never ever ever be another James Dean he had it all and more.....Artistic.....in so many ways in his acting......his writing......his quotes.....his books.....when God created him they did break the mold.....he was very funny and then sometimes sad.....his childhood and those sad memories of losing his mom so young and then having to go live with relatives and his dad never accepting all played into the person he became. A very emotional person whom I feel could and would touch anyone.....he was a legend then and will always and forever be one......even after all these years.....n o one can even compare......I personally believed he loved New York and his farm in Indiana.....but it was hollywood where he had to make those amazing three major motion movies......all these years have passed and more and more people fall in love with him over and over......no one has done and left so much like James Dean....to me he is a angel.....taken from life too soon......and hands down had he lived his movies would have been better then ever to only think of the work and his acting ability what we would have seen on screen.......no matter what he remains 24 to me.....forever young......rest in peace on your birthday in heaven today 2-8-2017. He was far far far more then handsome he was immensely beautiful....xoxox
I am speachless, you said everything! He had a scorpio moon in astrology, what I think that explain his incredible deep way and intensity to see live and live life.
Wow! I wish I had said that. You sure touched on his life and what we could have had. He crammed so much life into those short 24 years. Everything you said I feel and know it was him. Forever young! R.I.P. James Dean
Everytime i see him i think he was the king of Movies and Entertainment an Inspiration in my Life it was for me a must to see his Movies. Nobody is like him in the Past in Present and in Future for me .
Brilliant compilation!! One of the best l've seen so far. And l've seen many. Jimmy belongs to every generation that will keep his memory alive as well as his dear cousin Marcus. RIP Jimmy.
No matter who is in the picture with him, I just can't take my eyes off of him. He had the ability without trying, to draw you into him. Lot's of life in those short 24 years. Where could he have gone? Sad. Photogenic & sexy & handsome & I wish I could have known him. R.I.P. James Dean
He was full of life, so intense..so much it shows in his eyes. We can see his soul trough his eyes. And yes, he was very magnetic...i think by far more attractive than a lot of male movie stars. Even from today's era. ❤
@@missmidnightlover I so agree. He was intense indeed, making him even more attractive and then, as you said, you can see it all in his eyes. I even love to watch his screen tests.
James Dean: The Sensitive Rebel With a Golden Heart. He speaks to those who yearn to be understood and accepted. I don't say "spoke" because his effect on the world is still felt today. In his acting, he perfectly portrayed the sensitive young man looking for acceptance, love and understanding. RIP, Jimmy. Thank you for helping us feel less alone
He was in search for something in a soul level, that I believe he found, in the end of his life and after his dead, on a spiritual level. The thing is that he spoke a lot just with his eyes...he didn't had to use a lot lf words to touch people. He was too much for this world. Like the little prince, he went back to his universe, full of stars and light. I will love him forever ❤
@@missmidnightlover agreed. He was always discovering himself too and was making plans for his future. For many, self discovery is a lifelong thing. He finally found the light of day at the end of his life and his tragic death reunited him with his mother. I will always be a fan of James Dean. Yep you're right. His eyes told us a lot about his turmoil. He had very kind yet sad looking blue eyes. No actor before or since him has touched so many lives with only a few roles. He was a sensitive genius. RIP, Jimmy.
Yes! For most of us its a lifelong thing, for him was only 24 years. He was ahead of his time so I think it was expected in someway that he wouldn't live like, 100 years. He had a lot of sadness in his eyes, I think the reason was the loss of his mom. So, I think that death was not a bad thing for him, at all. He meet his mom again and, because of his death and his personality that he became this icon that he is today.
@@missmidnightlover MsMidnitelover I agree with you. There was so much going on beneath the surface with Jimmy. Even when he smiled, you could see he had kind yet sad looking blue eyes. I agree. I don't think he expected to live long. He missed his mum his entire life and never seemed to get over her death. Elvis was similar and never recovered from his mum's death. George Michael had the same turmoil from losing his mum. Jimmy had no death wish and was not obsessed with death. He didn't want to die, but I don't think he feared passing away. His death partly made him a legend, but he had so much talent too and had the ability to feel other people's emotions like no other actor before or since him. Yeah he could be rude and moody at times, but so can everyone else, but Jimmy was a very sensitive person beneath it all. He gave so much emotion to his roles and that's partly why he clicks with so many. Similar to Elvis: his sensitivity came across in his work.
@@missmidnightlover self discovery is a lifelong thing for so many. I am still discovering myself too and I'm 24, the very age Jimmy was when he left us. Jimmy had so many future plans. It's heartbreaking he died before they all became a reality. He would have made many more great films too. I think he would have been a super director. It's tragic we lost him so soon, he died in his prime. He had so much talent and seemed like a nice man, despite his issues. Jimmy should be remembered for his talents and powerful personality and not his death at the age of 24. RIP, Jimmy. You are remembered.
There's a song called "Elvis, Marilyn and James Dean", that the lyrics talk about how only these 3 people will remain immortal to the world forever. They had something that the most of us don't. Some kind of light!
This maybe the best video I've seen for him & I've seen a LOT!! A lot of these pics I've not seen before, you did a great job. It was good to see him laugh. Thanks for sharing. God Bless you 💕💕
You have no idea of how this comment made me happy! I feel so honored to be able to capture his soul well, that's make me a good fan. I'm happy you liked and I will make more videos about Jimmy. He inspires me so much!
Brilliant, great compilation. Some rare photos here. Thanks. Still an icon, so cool, without trying to be cool. What a talent, what a waste, the brightest stars always burn out first
what a big challenge for the life..you are alone. nobody in your life ..mum dead dad absent . And you are face to face with difficulties of life :((((((
I fell in love with Jimmy in 1975 when I was 15. I'd never seen anyone act like him before and still haven't to this day. I have thought or spoken about him every single day since 1975, and I've been a collector of stuff on him ever since too. I hope that I get to meet him one day when I'm gone. He wasn't the dark and moody Jimmy that some people portray him as, he was funny (could have a warped sense of humour at times - like me!!!!), and he was kind and gentle yet strong. I live in the UK, but got to go to the James Dean Festival in Indiana in 2016. It was a holiday of a lifetime and I doubt I'll ever afford to go back. The festival was fabulous, and I loved the two museums/shops dedicated to him. A few years ago, I did an online matchmaker thing. I typed in all my boyfirends over the years, and we only go 12% at the most!! I typed in lots of my favourite movie stars and singers, and they didn't match - then I typed in me and Jimmy and we got 100% match!!!!! All you did was type in yours and their names, dates of birth and where they were born.
I was mesmerised by him too from the age of about 13 in 1980 when I first saw east of Eden, I was completely blown away, beyond belief that he died aged 25.
I totally understand you! I have the same love affair with River Phoenix and James Dean, together. But I discovered James Dean first, at the age of 15, back in 2009. I'm from Rio de Janeiro, so a lot of people here doesn't even know James Dean or even River. So I was very lonely in my tast of movies and actors. I spent my whole teenage years loving them almost by myself, I only shared with my parents and some friends. But they don't love James the way I do or know his life the way I do. So if you feel lonely about loving him back in the Uk, can you imagine me here in Brasil? It is very difficult. I'm happy I can use technology to make videos and also make friends that love the things I do - just like you. Thank you for your comment!
@@pauldickinson6943 I discovered Jimmy when I was 15, back in 2009. I'm from Rio de Janeiro, so most of people here don't even know who James Dean was. I always felt very alone in my tastes of movies, music and of course, actors. I feel that Jimmy is very different from the actores and artists of his time and still is different nowadays. He was very authentic and had a lot of personality, inteligence and also spirituality. I don't think many people had that back then and even less have today. So I feel he passed away in the right time. I believe he would suffer so much in this reality. Thank your for your comment, I hope you liked the video!
Me too. Its so strange to think that a gifted, unique person like he was, something so rare back then and nowadays, could die so young. He would do so many things for society...but like the song, he lived with enough intensity to know how life is beautiful. And I think he got satisfied somehow. 💙
@@missmidnightlover hate to admit this, but I am sure you'll understand considering my age... I don't have what's app. I only have my FB account and type in on IM there. I have REALLY old cell phone. I mean Ancient., to the point that I am embarrassed to let people see it. Last week I was at doctor and girl at desk said, "omg, is that one of those slide phones? I haven't seen one of those in years!" EVERYONE who sees it makes a comment! Oh well, it still works and it suits my needs. But, I suppose this is the Disadvantage. It does limit me now in how I can communicate privately with people. Sorry! But, IM via FB or plain old phone or private emails is my only way to communicate!
I just watched your beautiful tribute again. Probably shouldn't have, just brought me to tears...again. people always say how he never got over his mother's death. But when you think about it, he didn't outlive her by very long. He really didn't have the time to fully come to terms with that major trauma. I mean, he felt she died so young. It's ironic that, yes she did, in fact, die very young, but she still had more years than he did. It doesn't get much sadder than that.
I think all his emotional problems were because the death of his mother. I read somewhere that he didn't die right after the crash, that the doctors thought he kind of gave up of life at the ambulance, because he had chances but he didn't fight for life. I kinda believe because maybe he saw his mother or thought that maybe he could find her, and every child think of their mother when they are sick, imagine feeling the pain that he did. Maybe he choose a death with his mother than a life without her. And we can never judge him for that. 💙
@@missmidnightlover yes. And if there is an afterlife and it's true that we reconnect with those we loved during our lifetime and that they are waiting for us, then all I can imagine is this... When that Porsche collided with that Ford, the first heart to break was his mother's. I am certain that was not what she had hoped for her son.
@@missmidnightlover this is definitely something we can speculate about for all time and never find the answer, but I, personally don't believe in coincidence, so I can't help but wonder if he was taken when he was in order to protect him from something far worse. Everyone assumes he would've gone on to greater things, but we really don't know that for certain. Maybe what we all view as a tragedy was really a blessing. The truth, as we know for certain, is his death not only cemented his legacy, but it also gave his family financial security and kept the small farm town of Fairmount, Indiana alive when other towns have failed. Since James Dean clearly adored both, I would like to believe that he feels it was worth the sacrifice. Add to that the fact that, whatever we may think of his "hobby " , he is quoted as saying that the only time he felt truly whole was when he was racing his cars. So, I guess there is some comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved.
Trust me, girls, mi am much older than you two but James Dean was still before my time. Whatever gift he had just continues on generation after generation. There are plenty of us out there, which is why these tribute videos are still so popular.
@@sharonzimmerman5558 that makes me very happy and make me feel warm. So glad that other people agree with us about the magic that Jimmy had. I feel that whatever this magic he had is missing in all kind of humans today. And i dont know why. But its missing for sure. Most people dont have it.
@@missmidnightlover agree 100%. I think that's the very reason his legacy remains so strong. Younger generations like yourself have the insight and sensitivity to realize that what you're seeking...truth and authenticity in today's culture just isn't available. James Dean wasn't perfect, by far, But he was Real and authentic. That shows in every photo of him. Nobody is looking for saints, just Real People. Then you come across a picture of James Dean, and you know you have found it.
@@missmidnightlover P.S. Don't forget, even though I am older, James Dean was still before my time. I was 10 months old when he died. So, guess at least I Can say I was here the same time as he was, however short.
So, here I am, once again and, also, once again, in tears! Gotta stop this! I look at him and wonder if his mother knows what a beautiful man he grew up to be. She would have been so proud of him. No, to just say he was "beautiful " doesn't quite capture it. I don't know if there is a word for the gift he had and let for us. He had an "aura" about him? I don't know what word I am looking for or if there even IS one. But, whatever it was, he had IT. and no one else has ever come close.
I totally agree with you, but i think that this aura of being one if kind type of person scared a lot of people around him, i actually bet that a lot of people, even Brando, had jealous of his originality.
@@missmidnightlover absolutely. It's been said that when Dean died we lost 2 actors because Brando got lazy. Had Dean lived Brando would never had let him steal the red carpet. On the other hand, I think Brando respected Dean as an actor once he saw East of Eden. I don't think he did before that and looked at dean as some nut case kid who wanted to be Him. When he saw Eden, he realized Dean was a force to be reckoned with. At least he saw Eden when it was released and Dean lived to hear his idol compliment him, even if Brando only went to see it because of his friend Kazan. Clift, on the other hand, refused to see it. When he finally did after Dean's death, he felt terribly guilty over how horribly he treated Dean.
@@missmidnightlover may I ask why you chose that particular picture for the very end ? My interpretation is... there is the crash scene, then switch to final pic. Between his closed eyes and facial expression, I get the feeling he is thinking, " Geez, what have I done?"
@@sharonzimmerman5558 I choose because represents the change of dimension for him, he was finally at peace. But for sure waking up and opening his eyes in another dimension.
I just thought, that maybe he wanted to stay in this great love of god, what i ve been told, is waiting for us. Was'nt that what he, and not we also, was looking for, with all his life, the (lost) love. ♥️❤️ And i feel that he gives me love, he cares for me, by loving him. When there seems to be no love left for me on this planet, him i' ll always love. So he' s like a bond with god, holding me. And i am not the only one.
Omg! I feel totally the same. Yes, he was looking for a kind of love and happiness that we, as humans, can't find in this our world. It's just in the spiritual world that we will find it. I'm totally sure that whatever he's been living now, he is waaaay more happy than us. His friendship it's the best friendship I have in my life.
His mechanic was the one who convinced him he needed to drive the Porsche Spyder that Dean named 'The Little Bastard' (Jack L. Warner refered to Dean as the Little bastard) to the race track because Dean had not driven it much. And Competition Motors the Porsche Dealership in Hollywood that sold the Spyder to Dean made him hire the mechanic Rulf Wutherich a trained Porsche mechanic, otherwise they would not of sold him the car as they were not too many available on the world. Dean seemed to have an old soul, he also in many pictures to look much older than someone in their early 20's.

Sim! Ele foi um dos maiores da história do cinema. E só fez apenas 3 filmes...olha que força e presença que ele tinha. Tanto dentro, quanto fora de cena. Ele é e sempre será um dos imortais do cinema mundial! E meu ídolo ❤
Jimmy continues to cast a spell- after Brando Clift and Newman Hav all faded. Its his imperisible magic. Though we wanted more of him we Hav to be grateful for what he gave- quality not quantity
I just discovered on EPIX channel On Demand they sre showing The james Dean Story, which is the documentary made in 1957 And "JAMES DEAN " eith Stephen Mchattie as Dean. I actually like this one better than James Franco movie. I know they are both on CZcams, too.
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
He would not be appreciated in modern times anyway because he smoked and had an outgoing personality he was a man for his time. Even the method acting which many of the greats used is not relevant now mostly just recycled scripts and cgi garbage. Rest in paradise James the world you knew is long gone.
I totally agree with you! But, if he lived today, I think he would still be so ahead of his time. He would be more revolucionary then all those remarkble people of today.
His brief career was as bright as a meteor, running like a golden tear across the dark face of night. He was a genius and totally individual man that changed our horizons back then, and inspired us who appreciate him to this day and beyond!! Reunited with his beloved mother now in heaven.
That's all true. These days I caught myself thinking about that, that he found his peace near to his mother. Who know him, knows that's was all that he really wanted.
Yes. I think of that, too;. that if there is a Heaven, then he would be exactly where he wanted to be, back in his mother's arms.
He was love ❤ Marilyn Monroe ❤.....no mother
R.I.P James Dean...
We love you for ever...
Yes ❤Forever
too fast to live , too young to die
the coolest ever. Timeless and way ahead of his time. Still sooo imitated 67 years after his death. Dean is unique
Bless his heart ♥, he died way to young. RIP James Dean. Gone but never forgotten.
His death will always make me mad. He was truly talented and as many others, I'd kill to see him develop as an actor. Just 10 to 20 more years of him being alive would've already been good.

And now I'm crying. This is so damn beautiful. Love 💕

@@missmidnightlover Yes I did! Thanks 👍
Crazy that he was only 24 years old. The brooding persona that he projected in photos is of a man much older than todays generation.
I think he was older in spirit

So if you feel lonely about loving him back in the Uk, can you imagine me here in Brasil? It is very difficult. I'm happy I can use technology to make videos and also make friends that love the things I do - just like you. Thank you for your comment!
@@pauldickinson6943 I discovered Jimmy when I was 15, back in 2009. I'm from Rio de Janeiro, so most of people here don't even know who James Dean was. I always felt very alone in my tastes of movies, music and of course, actors. I feel that Jimmy is very different from the actores and artists of his time and still is different nowadays. He was very authentic and had a lot of personality, inteligence and also spirituality. I don't think many people had that back then and even less have today. So I feel he passed away in the right time. I believe he would suffer so much in this reality. Thank your for your comment, I hope you liked the video!
I tried it, I put in all my ex girlfriends, got a 100% match with Imelda Marcos, and it recommend I buy her some more shoes, thanks for that 🙄😂
miss midnight lover? great name, I bet you're gorgeous, or are you a bald bloke with an Adolf Hitler moustache, it wouldn't surprise me, who knows.
Great tribute. Thank you for this. Song is heartbreaking in relation to him. Can't help but think of all he missed
Me too. Its so strange to think that a gifted, unique person like he was, something so rare back then and nowadays, could die so young. He would do so many things for society...but like the song, he lived with enough intensity to know how life is beautiful. And I think he got satisfied somehow. 💙
@@missmidnightlover yes. Have to believe that whatever his purpose, he fulfilled it.
@@missmidnightlover well, my PM worked with Alex. I did a test. If there is any way you can do that, I would be happy to communicate with you.
Hi, Sharon! We can talk to each other on whatsapp, what you think? I almost dont log in at facebook nowadays. If you want, i can give you my number!
@@missmidnightlover hate to admit this, but I am sure you'll understand considering my age... I don't have what's app. I only have my FB account and type in on IM there. I have REALLY old cell phone. I mean Ancient., to the point that I am embarrassed to let people see it. Last week I was at doctor and girl at desk said, "omg, is that one of those slide phones? I haven't seen one of those in years!" EVERYONE who sees it makes a comment! Oh well, it still works and it suits my needs. But, I suppose this is the Disadvantage. It does limit me now in how I can communicate privately with people. Sorry! But, IM via FB or plain old phone or private emails is my only way to communicate!
Amazing work!!! This went directly to my favorites.
I love the music.
I love this song
Thank you so much. It was great! Never get enough. R.I.P. James Dean
Im glad u like it! He is timeless.
Omg... this left me breathless. What a powerful and moving tribute to Jimmy. Beautiful song captured his essence. If only I could have him 💔
Thank you so much. I put so much effort to show how I feel about him, and his essence!
@@missmidnightlover U r doing a great job! He left this earth before I was born and I'm obsessed with him ever since ❤️
@@cosmicgirl1116 me too! I born in 1994 and love him
@@missmidnightlover My daughter was born in 1994 🤩

A fallen star, a blazing comet!

@@missmidnightlover He will always be the brightest star!
To bad I didn’t live in the same time as Jimmy Dean he is good looking

Greetings from Germany

That was truly beautiful. Thank you!
Thank you !
Yes..nice song bout this star n spirit inside me..love u jd
🥰🥰🥰🥰
Dean never acted i feel he was just being himself, very hard & very cool,beautiful
I just watched your beautiful tribute again. Probably shouldn't have, just brought me to tears...again. people always say how he never got over his mother's death. But when you think about it, he didn't outlive her by very long. He really didn't have the time to fully come to terms with that major trauma. I mean, he felt she died so young. It's
ironic that, yes she did, in fact, die very young, but she still had more years than he did. It doesn't get much sadder than that.
I think all his emotional problems were because the death of his mother. I read somewhere that he didn't die right after the crash, that the doctors thought he kind of gave up of life at the ambulance, because he had chances but he didn't fight for life. I kinda believe because maybe he saw his mother or thought that maybe he could find her, and every child think of their mother when they are sick, imagine feeling the pain that he did. Maybe he choose a death with his mother than a life without her. And we can never judge him for that. 💙
@@missmidnightlover yes. And if there is an afterlife and it's true that we reconnect with those we loved during our lifetime and that they are waiting for us, then all I can imagine is this... When that Porsche collided with that Ford, the first heart to break was his mother's. I am certain that was not what she had hoped for her son.
@@missmidnightlover this is definitely something we can speculate about for all time and never find the answer, but I, personally don't believe in coincidence, so I can't help but wonder if he was taken when he was in order to protect him from something far worse. Everyone assumes he would've gone on to greater things, but we really don't know that for certain. Maybe what we all view as a tragedy was really a blessing. The truth, as we know for certain, is his death not only cemented his legacy, but it also gave his family financial security and kept the small farm town of Fairmount, Indiana alive when other towns have failed. Since James Dean clearly adored both, I would like to believe that he feels it was worth the sacrifice. Add to that the fact that, whatever we may think of his "hobby " , he is quoted as saying that the only time he felt truly whole was when he was racing his cars. So, I guess there is some comfort in knowing that he died doing what he loved.
Danke für diese wunderbaren auf ein um amigo
Thanks
God i love him
Magnífic art!
Thank you so much ♥️
Life could be beautiful...!!!
Awsome ✌🏻 💯 Legend 🙏🏽💚🙏🏻🌹💜💙💙👼💋💕🙏🏿🌹
im a simple 22 year old who falls for men from another life time, send help
Me too! I'm only 25 and i love Jimmy since my 15! ❤❤❤ im from another era, just like u, youre not alone! :)
Trust me, girls, mi am much older than you two but James Dean was still before my time. Whatever gift he had just continues on generation after generation. There are plenty of us out there, which is why these tribute videos are still so popular.
@@sharonzimmerman5558 that makes me very happy and make me feel warm. So glad that other people agree with us about the magic that Jimmy had. I feel that whatever this magic he had is missing in all kind of humans today. And i dont know why. But its missing for sure. Most people dont have it.
@@missmidnightlover agree 100%. I think that's the very reason his legacy remains so strong. Younger generations like yourself have the insight and sensitivity to realize that what you're seeking...truth and authenticity in today's culture just isn't available. James Dean wasn't perfect, by far, But he was Real and authentic. That shows in every photo of him. Nobody is looking for saints, just Real People. Then you come across a picture of James Dean, and you know you have found it.
@@missmidnightlover P.S. Don't forget, even though I am older, James Dean was still before my time. I was 10 months old when he died. So, guess at least I Can say I was here the same time as he was, however short.
Wonderful jimmy
What a amazing personality 😍
He had an amazing personality! 😍♥️
He died the way he liked to live and lived
Emozionante ❤️
So, here I am, once again and, also, once again, in tears! Gotta stop this! I look at him and wonder if his mother knows what a beautiful man he grew up to be. She would have been so proud of him. No, to just say he was "beautiful " doesn't quite capture it. I don't know if there is a word for the gift he had and let for us. He had an "aura" about him? I don't know what word I am looking for or if there even IS one. But, whatever it was, he had IT. and no one else has ever come close.
I totally agree with you, but i think that this aura of being one if kind type of person scared a lot of people around him, i actually bet that a lot of people, even Brando, had jealous of his originality.
@@missmidnightlover absolutely. It's been said that when Dean died we lost 2 actors because Brando got lazy. Had Dean lived Brando would never had let him steal the red carpet. On the other hand, I think Brando respected Dean as an actor once he saw East of Eden. I don't think he did before that and looked at dean as some nut case kid who wanted to be Him. When he saw Eden, he realized Dean was a force to be reckoned with. At least he saw Eden when it was released and Dean lived to hear his idol compliment him, even if Brando only went to see it because of his friend Kazan. Clift, on the other hand, refused to see it. When he finally did after Dean's death, he felt terribly guilty over how horribly he treated Dean.
@@missmidnightlover may I ask why you chose that particular picture for the very end ? My interpretation is... there is the crash scene, then switch to final pic. Between his closed eyes and facial expression, I get the feeling he is thinking, " Geez, what have I done?"
@@sharonzimmerman5558 I choose because represents the change of dimension for him, he was finally at peace. But for sure waking up and opening his eyes in another dimension.
@@missmidnightlover That's great!!! When will you be making a new one? Did you make one for the upcoming anniversary?
I just thought, that maybe he wanted to stay in this great love of god, what i ve been told, is waiting for us. Was'nt that what he, and not we also, was looking for, with all his life, the (lost) love. ♥️❤️
And i feel that he gives me love, he cares for me, by loving him. When there seems to be no love left for me on this planet, him i' ll always love. So he' s like a bond with god, holding me. And i am not the only one.
Omg! I feel totally the same. Yes, he was looking for a kind of love and happiness that we, as humans, can't find in this our world. It's just in the spiritual world that we will find it. I'm totally sure that whatever he's been living now, he is waaaay more happy than us. His friendship it's the best friendship I have in my life.
His mechanic was the one who convinced him he needed to drive the Porsche Spyder that Dean named 'The Little Bastard' (Jack L. Warner refered to Dean as the Little bastard) to the race track because Dean had not driven it much. And Competition Motors the Porsche Dealership in Hollywood that sold the Spyder to Dean made him hire the mechanic Rulf Wutherich a trained Porsche mechanic, otherwise they would not of sold him the car as they were not too many available on the world. Dean seemed to have an old soul, he also in many pictures to look much older than someone in their early 20's.
I love James deans
Me too!
VI UM DOS MELHORES FILMES DE JAM BAN PERDEU-SE UM BELÍSSIMO ATOR NO AUS DOS ANOS CINQUENTA NUM BRUTAL ACIDENTE EU TENHO IMENSA PENA.

Love the video

Jimmy continues to cast a spell- after Brando Clift and Newman Hav all faded. Its his imperisible magic. Though we wanted more of him we Hav to be grateful for what he gave- quality not quantity
Thats so true. They all are had bigger careers and complete lives but Jimmy still shines more than them. Why you think this happens?
Except BRANDO.BRANDO means HOLLYWOOD.
Meu ❤️ para sempre! Desde meus 10 anos de idade ❤❤❤❤😂
Touching

Totally!
Hi everyone, I'm wondering, you guys would like to see more James Dean videos made by me?
Yes!!! Please
Yes!!
Yes
Caray que rebien te quedó la nariz después del retoque estético por lo demás un gran actor que nos hizo soñar muy mucho
Tasting all in life was too much expencive
I totally agree. He was very intense. I dont know how good that was for him, in the end...
I just discovered on EPIX channel On Demand they sre showing The james Dean Story, which is the documentary made in 1957 And "JAMES DEAN " eith Stephen Mchattie as Dean. I actually like this one better than James Franco movie. I know they are both on CZcams, too.
This documentary is amazing! I downloaded years ago, but I need to watch again to remember the details. 💙
yep
At 6:00 , I recall suddenly Marlon Brando with a cat in God Father movie ...just a sudden thought
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
Omg 😍😍😍
That's my reaction everytime I look at James Dean! ♥️
I WORKED AT JIMMY RYAN'S BAR IN NYC..JE
Really? How was that? ❤
3:13 is James...Franco?
No, it's Jimmy! 💙
He would not be appreciated in modern times anyway because he smoked and had an outgoing personality he was a man for his time. Even the method acting which many of the greats used is not relevant now mostly just recycled scripts and cgi garbage. Rest in paradise James the world you knew is long gone.
I totally agree with you! But, if he lived today, I think he would still be so ahead of his time. He would be more revolucionary then all those remarkble people of today.
James Dean , Marlon Brando is not misfit this Era.Montgomary Clift is.He is very much sensitive.Imotion is today's world 'OUTDATED'.
Goodbye Jim of Indiana
😢😢😢😢
What is the voice saying at the end? Also who is it please?
James Dean was a special talent. As good as anyone.
R.I.P.🙏❤️.x
