Whereas young people in their teens or 20s are into actors like Robert Pattinson or Chris Evans, those that grew up in the '50s have fawned over the late, but never forgotten actor James Dean. Dean was at the top of the world with his film credits including Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden, and Giant.
His loss is still a heavy toll on Hollywood as Dean was at the height of his career, only to be taken so suddenly from a car accident. Today, Dean would have been 90 years old, so fans on Twitter celebrate the legendary actor's time alive.

JD sucked!
Well, he makes good sausage................................/s
When the ego is bigger than one’s driving ability, stuff happens
Wow.
He would have died of Aids in the 80’s.
Whats Twitter?
Dead Man’s Curve...................
If Dean had lived.. he had better tow the line on twitter or risk being banned for life.
Or drug overdose
Or another car wreck at a different time
Or murdered by Manson copycats
Or
He’s “iconic” for a body of work of only 3 films and an array of stills from those films which became pop art for over half a century.
He’s an icon but must people haven’t actually watched any of the films. Just as you don’t have to watch Mickey Mouse cartoons to recognize or respond to Mickey Mouse.
Google: james dean car crash
Click on images. Not much left of the car.
I bet they still have not fixed the road intersection in all these years.
Allegedly what you wrote is “true”. He allegedly ran around in a Hollywood sexual underground before he was given his breakout roles.
No connection to Jimmy Dean sausages as far as I know.
I thought I read that the car toured carnivals and car shows for years afterwards. Of course people can make their own “James Dean Death Car”.
The real Bonnie and Clyde car was toured around but I think at a point a fake one was also created. Certainly one in a car museum is a recreation.
Rebel Without a Cause is one of the most over rated movies ever.
It was ahead of it’s time though, it’s a movie about whiney rich White overly-sensitive Millennial Kids 35+ years before the 1st Millennials were even born.
Rock On!
Beat me to it. :-)

It's not like holly weird is going to do anything original anyway, why not just employ digital zombies?
