Didn't he used to like being burned with cigarettes?

I used to have a poster of him in my room as a teenager... didn't all girls?

Would have been interesting to see what he would of done film wise if he didn't die in the car crash. Loved the films he was in.

Well, he died in a car crash in California at the age of 24. And accordingly to the book I read about his death, it really wasn't his fault.

Sadly, I know quite a lot about James Dean - I was very obsessed with him when I was about 18. A very complex young man - I can't imagine what he would have been like today, had he lived.

Lived fast, died young, made a beautiful corpse.

I've often thought that perhaps he would have been very much like Dennis Hopper, who, of course, he worked with and was frienRAB with. I actually think Dean would have been even more wild and eccentric than Hopper. Alas - we will never know.

And yes, I believe he did have a beautiful corpse. I have read that he broke his neck, but his face was relatively un-touched.
