It’s no exaggeration to say that no other actor in Hollywood has so many fans after having produced so little work as James Dean. He made three major films (plus four uncredited appearances) in two years (two of which gained him Best Actor nominations), then died in an automobile accident on September 30, 1955. He would have been 77 years old on February 8, 2008 if he’d lived, and there’s no way to really tell how much we might have lost in the way of great performances. People still can have a peice of James Dean in the reproduction tin signs that are out there.
The studios have reported that more people wrote to James Dean after he died than wrote to any living star at the time. He has more fans and more pages on the Web than almost every other classic star, and more than many current actors and actresses. He got his wish, as he once said, to live on after he died. But it is certainly fascinating to speculate about which of his contemporaries Jimmy would most resemble if he had lived. Marlon Brando, with whom he is often compared? (One hopes Jimmy would have kept himself in better condition, at least.) Dennis Hopper, who appeared in two films with him and continues to be the rebel as he approaches the age of 65? Or Paul Newman, who is also into racing, and who aged gracefully and gained respect as his career progressed? I would have to speculate that writing and directing would certainly have been part of his legacy.
