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

Well, he makes good sausage................................/s

Wow.
He would have died of Aids in the 80’s.
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.
No connection to Jimmy Dean sausages as far as I know.
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!

I love his sausage.
Doesn’t hurt that he was directed by 3 of the greates directors, Nicholas Rey, Elian Kazan and George Stevens. But if you watch his TV stuff, he’ s pretty average. I will give him credit though, he was blind as a bat. Can’t imagine hitting a mark not being able to not see it.
I bet he would have been laid low in his 40’s-50’s, during the AIDS thing in the 1970’s.
Anyone traveling CA-46 between Paso Robles on 101 and Kettleman City on I-5 will pass the Jack Ranch Cafe in Shandon/Cholome near the junction of CA-41 and 46. The James Dean Memorial is located in the Cafe’s parking lot and is well worth the stop, as is a visit to the Cafe, both the food and the decor are noteworthy.
The intersection of 41 and 46 is still a bit unusual and can easily confuse a first timer, although it has undergone several redesigns since the accident.
Dean’s Porsche Spyder collided with a 1950 Ford driven by David Turnupseed, a student at Cal Poly, San Luis Obispo, who was on his way to visit his parents in Tulare. The sun was directly in Dean’s eyes as it was going down at dusk. Turnupseed turned left onto 41. Dean’s Porsche Spyder struck the Ford’s passenger side door and Dean sustained massive injuries, he was DOA arriving at hospital in Paso Robles. Dean was accompanied by his mechanic who was also very seriously injured but eventually recovered. Turnupseed escaped with only minor abrasions and after being released by police hitchiked home.
Later analysis indicated that excessive speed was not a factor in the crash. Turnupseed had slowed to make his left turn, and careful examination of the damage to the Spyder indicated normal distortion consistent with posted speed limits.
Dean was dead but Turnupseed’s life was also severely impacted. He received everything from death threats to name calling and every imaginable insult in between for the remainder of his life. After graduation he returned to Tulare and worked to grow his Electrical business which prospered in spite of customers canceling projects when he was identified as the man who killed James Dean. Turnupseed’s undeserved misfortune tormented him till his death at age 63. Dean’s death was a tragedy, but Turnupseed’s life was haunted by the same tragic accident.
Often excessive speed is cited as the ‘cause’ of the collision because Dean was on his way to a race in Salinas and because he’d gotten a speeding ticket on Highway 99 earlier that same afternoon. However, careful examination indicated both vehicles were operating within legal guidelines. No finding of fault has been officially declared.
Couldn’t stand this guy. If you like whiney babies, I guess he was alright.
When I first saw James Dean’s movies on TV (early 70’s), I thought he was one of the best actors I’d ever seen. Years later, I wonder if the world would have tired of his angst-ridden portrayals. I would have. He was certainly fortunate to have only starred in movies with great directors and co-stars.
