Renowned Death Hag
It's on the page about Jimmy's death. I think it's near the end of the page, click on link and have a look. It's nice (if it's really him) I wish I could post the photo but my internet is slow and won't let me open too many windows!Nude Pic.. I did'nt know there was one?...Can you post a link!
You might want to re-read the forum rules before you consider posting nude photos...
It isn't him. It is of a young retarded boy who was photographed by his brother and circulated as a pic of Jimmy because of the striking resemblance.
It isn't Jimmy.
Damn...knew that was too good to be true. That picture has been circulated for quite some time.
its old but i also think it was actually taken after his death. but yeah, i think people just try to grasp onto anything they can. the picture is also in one of the many JD biographies written - and IMHO opinion - one of the most sorrid, inaccurrate ones. gossip will always be gossip where celebrities are concerned. *shrugs*
I just watched my first ever James Dean movie last night. East of Eden, good movie, just not a good adaptation of the book IMO. Still I really liked the movie.
For Those who hav'nt heard it.

Get one of Jimmy's lovers (Dizzy Sheridan perhaps) to verify if the..ah...equipment in the photo matches Jimmy's.

i have seen it and it is NOT jimmy. the family who the picture originates from has verified it is a picture of a mentally retarded boy taken by his brother.
This is Good NEWS
as Its is good that jimmy did not actually reveal all his assets..
Some questions for Dean experts....
How close was Jimmy really to Elizabeth Taylor, and, did Pier Angeli leave a suicide note in which Jimmy was mentioned?
Jimmy reminds me of Marilyn Monroe in the sense that people both famous and the non famous have come forward to claim they were their friends, lovers or whatever. Some of them have blatantly lied and still continue to do so even when someone proves them wrong. Example: Tony Curtis and his Marilyn claims....
When someone has stepped forward and said they were Jimmy's best friend or they screwed him, I'm sure some could be telling the truth , but with others you just wonder...

I loved him in East of Eden. It was such a trip watching Abra trying to suppress her sexual desires for Cal while trying to remain loyal to Aaron.

54 years today...
James Dean's legend has faded a great deal since the 1970s when I used to watch Giant and Rebel Without A Cause. The Dean memorabillia store in Fairmount closed down a long time ago because few people make the pilgrimage anymore. The 50th anniversary of his death didn't create much of a ripple in the media like the 30th did in 1985.
Just after Dean died, someone broke into his house and stole a number of personal items including photographs, drawings and tape recordings. I used to know a PI who was a huge James Dean fan and tried to track down some of this stuff. He tapped into a tidy black market for Dean's personal items that used to exist. Many of those things, I'm sure, were bogus. Be he did manage to get hold of a reel-to-reel audio tape and had been recorded from another duplicated tape that had probably been duplicated from another duped tape. He took it to a voice expert to verify that the voice on it was Dean's. The recording was too fraught with overlayers to really get a defiitive answer. He did turn up some some other pretty interesting stuff though ...
Has everyone seen this commercial?

Senior Death Hag
Yeah, I don't know. It's touching to see what might have happened, but it seems a little sick to use it as a commercial for an investment company.
WoW ....That was quite emotional for me...
It didn't upset me that it was for life insurance..it was well done and respectful to jimmy
RIP Jimmy D. You were one of a kind...

I know finding any signed James autographs but be very rare but I was at a autograph shop yesterday and he had one for sale. It was signed when James made Rebel but it would cost £6,000! Shame I didn;t have that much on me, like who can efford that! I never got to see it, he wouldnt show me as I couldn't buy it! But has anyone on here got his autograph? I wish I could get a copy of it!

From 1994 to 1998 me, my mom, and best friend used to go to the festival they held every year in Fairmount during the anniversary of his death. There would be at least 20,000 people during that weekend, it was cool they had a lookalike contest and some of those guys really looked like him. Now granted I haven't been there in over ten years, but last I heard the memorabilia store in Gas City closed about 2 years ago not the one in Fairmount.

It breaks my heart
I may get banned for this? But is this the pic?images.jpgSpeaking of photos of James Dean...years ago I was doing some research for a college paper which included various actors/entertainers from my home state. During the process, a very strange photo of James Dean turned up. It was a group photo with several other people, very muddy and faded so it was hard to tell if it had been altered. Anyway, not to go into too much detail, what it boiled down to was a fairly pornographic shot which apparently had been circulating for some time since his death. Since I did my research in the college and state libraries I can't even recall now where I found this and I have never seen it since. Has anyone heard or seen the photo I'm talking about?

No you won't. He's got his bits and pieces covered, so it's all good.

Get drunk and sing Elvira
It's almost the worst possible thing for me to imagine what MIGHT'VE happened had James lived. It might have been such a full, interesting, wild life.
Oh well...

My apologies iof this has already been posted, but I just came across this bit of trivia:
In September 1955, James Dean met Alec Guinness outside an Italian restaurant in Hollywood. He introduced himself and showed Guinness his brand-new Porsche 550 Spyder. “The sports car looked sinister to me,” Guinness wrote in his autobiography:
"Exhausted, hungry, feeling a little ill-tempered in spite of Dean’s kindness, I heard myself saying in a voice I could hardly recognize as my own, ‘Please, never get in it.’ I looked at my watch. ‘It is now ten o’clock, Friday the 23rd of September, 1955. If you get in that car you will be found dead in it by this time next week.’ "
Dean laughed. One week later he collided head-on with a Ford coupe outside Cholame, Calif. He was pronounced dead 6 days and 20 hours after Guinness’ prediction.
I wish there was a third person standing there. I loved Alec Guinness, but it does seem a bit out there that he actually said that. Then again, I had a cousin that said something and it actually happened. Who knows!
Everytime I go to Mendocino I think of him. Alot of East of Eden was filmed there and many things are still as they were as far as scenery. Beautiful town.
on a family trip we accidently found ourselves at the famous intersection. My dad recognized it and told us where we were. Made me sick to my stomach. I wonder where the car is now. I'll bet someone is hiding it in his barn some where.Whatever is left of it needs to be destroyed or buried at the crash site or something. I have no doubt in my mind what so ever that the car is cursed.
i always wondered in R.W.A.C. if the line he spoke after he kissed Judy (Natalie Wood) on the forehead was ad libbed where she asks him why he did that and he said "I felt like it." Would be cool if it was.
Duster, I think several people are reported to have had a bad feeling about the car, though what they did or didn't say of course can't be verified today. However, I'm not surprised, as I would have been uneasy about it! I don't think anyone could have built a better deathtrap on wheels if they had tried on purpose. It was essentially an aluminum eggshell on wheels with hardly any windshield, no top, no seat belts, no padded dash or padded steering wheel.
One version of the story kind of reminded me of a little kid taking his new toy around to show his friends, and none of them were impressed with it. The main reason he drove it instead of putting it on the trailer being towed by his 1955 Ford station wagon was that it hadn't yet even been driven the recommended number of "break-in" miles. Dean hoped to use the trip to break the car in as well as get accustomed to how it handled and drove, which was supposedly somewhat different from his previous racer.
Doyeloyal,
It is known that the tires, engine, and drivetrain of the car were all sold and used in other cars not long after the fatal accident. I think there's an urban legend to the effect that the other cars were jinxed by the parts, but it has been pretty well debunked.
The crumpled aluminum car body was used in a number of exhibits promoting highway safety, one of which was in Florida, I think. It supposedly disappeared while being shipped back to California by rail. Most experts feel that it most likely just got quietly sent to the car crusher somewhere along the way, but I suppose it is JUST possible it's sitting in a barn somewhere...
I'd personally like to know what became of the ambulance that took Dean and his mechanic to the nearest hospital... I THINK it was a 1953 Buick, and was large enough to accommodate two patients. The mechanic was rushed into surgery, where his life was saved. Doctors took one look at Dean and knew he was already gone, so without unloading him, the ambulance went on to the mortuary.

I'd heard about the exhibits the death car was in which is just insane that someone would actually charge people to look at it ugh it's disgusting. That'd be sweet if someone had actually bought the ambulance and saved it. that'd be awesomely cool and amazingly freakish at the same time! but that's what makes it great right?
I don't think anyone charged money to see Dean's car... as I understand it, most of these programs about highway safety were set up in places like high schools.
The ambulance probably continued to go about its duties, transporting many more sick, injured, and dead patients. Eventually, it got enough wear on it that it was retired, and eventually ended up in the crusher itself.
Remember that Dean's great fame STARTED with his death. None of his three films had even been released yet, though he had done some television work. The people who bought the components of his car probably had never even heard of him.
Nicki I really like Mendocino too. The last time I was there, I bought a book that talks about Jimmy and the making of East of Eden in Mendocino. Though some things have obviously changed, it's cool to walk the streets there while picturing Jimmy doing the same thing.
