Why do you think James Dean's memory lives on to the extent it still does? After all, he only appeared in 3 movies. Is his longevity as a cultural icon solely down to the tragic and untimely nature of his death, and the symbolic value our society gets from that. A beautiful young person with their whole life ahead of them being suddenly killed in an awful accident. Creates lingering questions of what might have been etc. Did his death symbolise the end of an era in American history, with the crazy 1960s just around the corner? It's odd, I'm interested in James Dean yet I'm not too sure why. Any thoughts?

​@@NosyFella For me, it is not his early death. I was born many years after his death and saw him on television for the first time when I was a teenager. It was Love at first sight. I was sad when I learned that he was no longer alive.🥺 It's his eyes, his sensitive lips, his shy smile and demeanor. He had something very special. Love forever.💫🕊

I drove through there in 06. One of the coolest days of my life. The high school was still there and had chain link fences all around it. I walked around the whole school. Just awesome. The coolest thing that happened and 1 of the only regrets in my life, I drove out to the Winslow house, recognized it, sat in my Jeep looking at it, and at 1 point the porch lights turned on, a front door started to open, and I slowly drove away. I had been told the Winslow family was very friendly to Jimmy fans earlier in the day at the museum, but I chickened out! June 2006.

What a sad story about a small town boy making it big. He was a wonderful actor. My favorite movie is Giant as well, also because of Elizabeth Taylor, as I am a huge fan of her too. It's great how his hometown remembers him through all these years. My mother grew up in the Rebel Without a Cause years, and I remember her telling me about him when I was very young. She also told me about the death of Sal Mineo, which is very tragic.

James came from a Quaker home. Just researched his past when you mentioned the friends church. How neat to see his grave and the gracious sensitivity of the town to memoralize his life and film legacy. No telling what great roles he would have given us had he lived a long life. On another note, hilarious Huge green eyeglasses--it is you!

Great vlog. Yep your mom is a mom . Still correcting your grammar. I thought that was funny. So happy you and her took a car trip out to see James Dean's hometown. You can see in middle America everything remains the same. All the old buildings as still there. Sad to think people stole things from Jame's grave. It would be even worse if he was buried in Los Angeles. I'm glad he had a normal life when he was a kid. I wonder what he'd be doing if he was still here? Love all the info and all the places you took us to. Can't wait to see where you take us tomorrow. Thanks to you and your mom for the lovely vlog. Take care and see you tomorrow.

Giant is in my top 5 all time favorite movies, He was fantastic in it and every time its on TV I watch it. I've read everything that I can find about him, both good and bad but I chose to believe the good. To think, I was one year old when he died and I am now 64 and he is still such an impact on us fans. Thank you SO MUCH for this and HI Patti! Love your Mom!

My dad's 1st wife went to school with him. His fan club put THE most beautiful and intricate wreath on his grave this year for the anniversary of his passing just 2 days prior to my visit. Actually came to see another grave and decided might as well see Mr. Dean while there. Jim Davis(garfield) had his headquarters near my home until recently.

I know she's glad to have her boy at home for a little while. Take care and enjoy your family.

I l ived in the area as a kid. Use to go to dances in the Fairmount school gym when it was used as a Jr High in the early 70's. I went to the new High School, Madison-Grant (the 2 counties) on the highway outside of Fairmount around 1973- 76, It's a nice conservative town then. There was no huge tourist ideas then around Dean. Though they would show the movie East of Eden in the auditorium at School for the students once a year. For those of you that lived there then, remember our swimming hole - Clear Water Park! What times! It was a remodeled rock quarry. I believe the cemetery stone has been replaced many times. I also know that the one there now isn't that old but has been there maybe 15 years. Maybe they found one that can't be chipped easily. Before, People kept chipping away at it rill it was ruined. Even as a kid way back in the 60's there was talk about how to keep it from being destroyed. Everyone wants a keepsake. All those years as a kid living there, the only place I seen a photo of Dean was in the school Library in a Hollywood stars movie book. Looks like you won't miss him today. Haven't been there in many years. Dad sold the farm outside of Fairmount and biz took me elsewhere.Additionally, My dad knew his step parents - The Winslows (they are buried close to Jimmy) and had been to their farm on occasions and in their home. I also heard stories of how Dean would hang out at the local drug store (it was pointed out to me. Believe it used to be the building in your video where you compared him and his likeness is now on the side of the building.) reading comics. Got to remember he was just another boy in a very small town with not a lot to do. Basketball was king in those small rural towns and I remember going to a bunch of the HS games. My girlfriend's brother was a starter and they lived right in Fairmount. Her mother drove the school bus. SO, Jimmy was pretty much just an average kid then. PS... Sorry, I wrote most of this before I watched most your video so you clarified so I repeated. I watched your Mary anne vid yesterday and this popped up today. Funny.

Myself and my best friend made the trip to Fairmount in 1984 and 85. We drove from Ohio, about an hour and a half trip in mid October I believe. It was a fantastic experience and we walked the streets and paid our respects. I knocked on the door and the very nice gentleman sat and talked with us for about 30 minutes. We got to at risk comb through the high school. All in all a GREAT TIME. Bought a 12pack of Olympia beer for the drive home. No museum at the time of our visit. Thanks.

They buried him here because his family wanted him here at home. I am from 20 minutes south of Fairmount and know the history and the people around here. He was very close to his aunt and uncle who raised him and the whole town was so proud of him. And yes, Carter's, the building, used to be a schoolhouse. Many of these one room school houses still stand on county roads around here, although most are abandoned and in disrepair. I used to explore them and take pictures. Thx for upload!

What an interesting vlog! Charlie Sheen must have been a big fan to dedicate his memorial. I know that a few months ago on face book your mother mentioned she wanted to go see this area and that you were the only one that would take her. I never knew that his history was located rather close to me. I couldn't help but notice his sleepy little town with hardly any traffic compared to the completely crazy traffic in Troy yesterday! I really enjoyed seeing everything James Dean today! Thank you Jordan!

fantastic vlog!! 😁 yep, safe to say that James Dean was the local, black sheep, of his hometown! He burned like a supernova for sure. He was a rebel in the making for sure with his fascination for fast cars n motorcycles but how many young men are Sensible drivers at that age!!??? Bet he was a handful for his guardians and I bet they were thankful that he had a theatre teacher who helped him direct his energy in a constructive manner and helped hone his acting skill. Both his childhood homes and hometown are picturesque not unlike yours Jordan. And of great fascination for alot of us who didn't grow up in rural areas. Morresey was a James Dean fan?!!! Not surprising because he had that era's fashion sense!! The Smiths got me through my 20's. 😁 The song "cemetery gates" could be you n ur mom's theme song!! The museum is flipping fantastic as well as the memorial etching on black granite. It made me a little sad that folks would leave cigarette butts and beer cans but the origami cranes are a touching tribute as well as the flowers, stones n coins. Karma will be repaid to the person or people who took his headstone, not once but twice!!

The festival itself is great with the old cars, vendors, music, and people of all ages dressed like James Dean. It also stretches to a little town of Gas City and it's called DuckTail Run. Maybe When you come back to this area you could do a meet and greet, I know I would make sure to come and meet you it would be an honor.

Love James Dean! Have been to Fairmount and Marion 3 different times including the 25th anniversary of his death in 1980. Got to meet and talk to his acting/speech teacher, Miss Adeline Ball and people whonwentvto high school with Jimmy...a great pleasure for me to meet all of them! The statue in the museum of Jimmy in the brown color robe was a replica of him when he starred on Broadway with Geraldine Page in "The Immoralist". He played a young Greek boy seducing Geraldine's husband played by Gig Young.

Wow, so interesting. What a fabulous memorial with a picture of the apartments where he was born. Glad you managed to get a momento from James's High School. You made me laugh with the sunglasses in the Gallery. So nice to see James's shoes and the original gate from 'Rebel Without A Cause'. I hope your mom had a fantastic time there aswell. Can't wait for tomorrow's vlog, well done again Jordan.
