JAMES DEAN: THE MAN, THE LEGEND LARRY KING LIVE, 2003

[@poppybell8217]

His younger cousin said “he didn’t really seem like he was acting”... he didn’t realize it, but that’s just about the biggest compliment you could give an actor!

[@poppybell8217]

[@ask4theupgrade359]

You’re not suppose to appear like you’re acting. Stiff, rehearsed - Meaning he seemed believable.

[@terrykrall]

I worked on an advertising project and contacted Marcus Winslow thru Dean’s image representative and after a few days heard back from the Winslow family thru the representatives who explained that the Winslows offered to provide Dean’s image for our use for no compensation. I was blown away at their generosity. The Winslows are real, genuine people.

[@PerfectoKiss]

James Dean forever young. He left way too soon and it is our loss. To me, him and Elvis were the coolest cats. Crazy that Jerry Seinfeld’s TV mom could have been Mrs. Dean.

As a teen, I absolutely love James Dean. He was in my opinion the most talented and handsome actor. Love “Rebel Without a Cause”❤️

[@kellielaine5848]

His role in Giant is my favorite - such range. Rest in Peace and know your work, while you were with us, will always be enjoyed - thank you.

[@kellielaine5848]

@Nick Xero Yes - the ensemble cast was the star. Recently we've rewatched East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause. I love having the DVDs in my library - hopefully buying DVDs helps the actor artists financially so they keep the treasures coming.

[@chrisbouyer6203]

Around 2008 in Santa Clarita CA we had a James Dean gathering with around 30 people with some family member being present .That day I met, and talked with, the police officer that was on the accident site , his name is Ron Nelson .We talked about the crash and the last moments of Jimmy's life .He confirmed that there was no speed involved at all at the moment of the crash .People are mistaken with the speed ticket he got a bit earlier before the accident that was above 70mph but at the accident time it was evaluated at no more than 50 mph and collision at less than 30mph .The Porsche was so light construction that if it had been any faster the car would have been pulverized .So it is a very unfortunate accident caused by the sun reverberation on the Tarmac with a silver tiny car on it and probably Jimmy assuming the guy saw him .Mr Turnupseed just didn't pay enough attention on an empty road when he turned left

[@poppybell8217]

[@itsgleneaton4883]

He was very photogenic. He was practicing to being himself. And underneath the cool exterior was a bubble of energy like an enthusiastic child. When a person like that becomes victorious and then passes away every generation afterwards is hoping to become those three qualities and that’s why he still lives.

Thank you for having this interview.

[@MarkWG]

Very sad ending of an extraordinary young man with so much promise and immense talent. Dean had so much more to give. It is almost as if he felt like he had to rush life and live fast because he somehow knew life was short for him. Tragic. If he were alive today, he'd be 93 years old.

Oh my goodness, Jane Withers is so charming and gracious. I don't know too much about her, but I have to say that she seems to have that same sweet, non- judging, darling quality that Dolly Parton has.

[@Nikes62]

You know, Jimmy had such eclectric, interesting friends he surrounded himself with, Martin Landau, Eartha Kitt, Rydall and all the others. But he was a tough nut to crack, I don't think anyone really knew him, just parts of him, he was that complex.If that makes any sense. He was always working on improving his craft and becoming a better actor, and he liked to study people and their reactions. He was a natural. I read he even studied the farm animals he grew up with to gain insights. He was an extrovert but at times he could be an introvert and distant. You could be in a room full of people sitting next to him, but if he wasn't in the mood for talking, he just would ignore you. He disliked small talk and the superficiality of it, so he wasn't always congenial and gave a great first impression.. Troubled? Oh, yes, certainly as a creative genius. But he was adept at blending in to look normal and even keeled.

[@baldvee]

this is probably the most accurate take on james dean, he seems like he was a very complicated dude

[@One.DeSanctis.]

Since this broadcast James Dean's fatal auto accident has be re-reconstructed and it was determined that he was not speeding at the time Donald Turnupseed turned into his lane. Dean was ticketed earlier in the day, so people assumed he was still driving 70mph. I hope that Joan Winslow lived long enough to learn her cousin was not at fault in his death.

[@djangorheinhardt]

No,I am sorry but I thought like you did,that Dean was blameless and died an innocent victim: then I bought Lee Raskin's book," on the road to Salinas "".Mr Raskin has done a very thorough forensic job of reproducing the relevant statements and testimonies from the official inquest .All the witnesses were called and all the evidence examined .I am afraid Jimmy does not come out of it very well.His driving just before the accident and at the accident shows the Jimmy was at least 50% to blame for the catastrophe. It is a very bitter pill to swallow to see that an unguarded moment by a driver cost the life a young actor ,just on the cusp of greatness,but that is what happened .You need to get Raskins book and you will see how the circumstances played out for all the people caught up in this sad event ..

[@jujuoliver6959]

He was the Brad Pitt of his day, in the looks and talent Dept, unbelievably good looking and had that certain look that is so mesmerising and heart stopping but because he died so ridiculously young and in his prime and didn’t have the chance to grow older and age and make mistakes in the way that age often does to people he will always be held up there on a pedestal. Fascinating man. Incredibly sad that he didn’t have that chance to enjoy his life and opportunities .

More like Brad Pitt is today’s James Dean although Jimmy will always be superior. What do you mean he didn’t have the chance to make mistakes? He lived to the fullest and made plenty of mistakes; the biggest one being driving that Porsche on the highway.

You mean that Brad Pitt could have played his son.

That had to be so catastrophic the day James Dean passed away in that crash. I always think if he had either left that restaurant an hour or so later or not stopped at all. James Dean may still be with us. I guess it happened as it was meant to be or not. Dean was way too young & had so much more to live he only got to see himself in East of Eden. It's astonishing that he made 3 mo ies in the course of 3 years! RIP JAMES DEAN 🙏💔

[@knockshinnoch1950]

James Dean and Rudolph Valentino are the 2 male Hollywood stars that have become such towering pop icons that endure to this day- although it should be noted that Valentino has slipped further out of the spotlight in recent years. They were handsome, with very pretty almost feminine soft features that photographed well and looked great on big screen. They also had a charismatic sexual chemistry that had an amazing effect on both women and men. It is fascinating that Deans "look" has never seemed out of fashion- the T-Shirt and Jeans the hairstyle still are relevant to young men in 2023. He has a timeless quality. By modern standards the acting style is hammy and for my taste almost unwatchable.

[@garciadavid582]

[@ricsosa7107]

James Dean sounds he was a bipolar type of guy..his mood changes with seconds

[@frankgraham1996]

Most method actors who can turn into other people in a natural way like they are not acting are Bi-Polar. In person off screen they seem shy, defensive, and never reveal their true inner self out of fear they will be rejected. You have to ask a psychologist how bi-polar disorder develops or if perhaps some people are born that way. Searching for something they can never find. A rebel without a cause.

[@tracydutton7577]

Bipolar is a genetic brain disease. Many creatives, actors, artists, writers n highly intelligent people have BP. I wouldn't classify Jimmy Dean as 1, however. There's just not enuff info out there namely cuz he was so young.

Did he make any attempt to avoid the collision; swerving or brakes?

[@A-FrameWedge]

He told his mechanic "He has to see me, he has to see me" before the driver a 19 year old, drove across his lane to take a side road, and he tried an evasive slide maneuver but he didn't have enough time to react soon enough.

[@Bibiana862]

According to Rolf Wütherich, James Dean was a very well-behaved driver on the road. The speeding ticket was misreported and exaggerated, because Dean was fined for going just 5 mph over the speed limit. Dean had the right of way, so he was innocent. It was that other guy faul I really dont know what he was thinking about ,where he was looking that he didnt see James car,as it called he didnt pay attention to driving simple

[@jaimonjohn2516]

In this day & age of deep fakes, de aging, that CGI james dean rumour always haunts me

Why, in this era of pathetic conspiracy theories and the need to blame, would anyone attempt to present this tragedy as anything other than an accident? Anyone who has the need to push their personal predispositions into facts and create their own narratives is evidence of the sorry situation in this culture to inflict personal prejudice into historical situations.

He was a method actor and I believed he knew producers were gay . I think he used the system too . Like a pretty girl that goes to Hollywood and gets harassed by people like Weinstein . He was the first mee too . Because he said he succumbed to the producers approach . He said he was very mad . He also played a homosexual in a play so it’s assumed by this producer he was posible gay .

[@AA-ke5cu]

She knows what James Dean smelled like. His new fragrance will surprise many. It has notes of gasoline; tobacco; burnt aluminum chips from a lathe; womans bra lint; old soap; the smell of worms after a rain; and of course ; pure spring water. He could of been anybody. Right place; right time.

[@mariagenovesa3772]

The title of some video regarding this extraordinary man and supreme actor is absolutely correct "James Dean died in a misterious car crash". J.D. was murdered like Princess Diana also was. Both from different countries and different social status bur both were extremelly envied by many pople around them. Dean was very young, beautiful, talented and an exgtraordinary actor, he was envied by older actors with less talent and especially with neither high schol frequency nor college education like for example Rock Hudson who couldn't stand Dean and the reason was the one I just wrote, besides Hudson was hommosexual, Dean was not and this was one more reason to make Hudson furious. Diana was intelligent, beautiful and adored by the British people and by the entire world and that adoration made some royals not only disliking her but envied her immense popularity as well, Charles and the Queen being the first ones. Turnupseed was hired to provoque the accident. Just to think he never spoke about it... why?!, he never gave a sole interview about the crash... why?!, he never spoke about the sorrow he (supposedly?...) must have had by Dean's death with only 24 years old... Why?! It is a shame before he died he did not leave a note describing what really happened and what was his real falt about the crash, this was one more black signal against his persona without necessity. We know T.'s car was enormous (proposedly big for what it was chosen to do) and strong enough compared to Dean's very small, very light and extremelly low. Yes, unfortunatly Dean was murdered by T. all right and he surely recieved thousands of dollars as payment. Diana was also murdered (Dodi's father - Dodi as her fiancé - has said a thousand times that Diana and his son were murdered) but by the Secret Service and no one needed to be payed for the crime because the S.S. works for the State and does whatever is required from them, even commiting a horrendous crime such as the one cited above. Thank you for the attention.

[@mariagenovesa3772]

Sorry, I forgot to write above the true video title which says all of what really happened in that tragic day of 30th of September 1955 and WHO was the person inside his car who proporsedly murdered James Dean: that man was Turnupseed and he was payed to commit that horrible crime. Thank you for the attention.
