It was not a truck that hit him but a big car a Ford driven by Donald Turnupseed who was 23 at the time! Weird enough in saying take it easy it might be my life you will be saving! I when to the site of accident years ago as i was living not to far and it is obvious that the guy did make the right choice thinking he had time to turn!

Did people forget how vile this man was? He was a prima donna, manwhore (slept with anything that had a pulse), highly insecure, aggressive and threatening (violent streak, dv) extremely rude etc. He did nothing for humanity. He was just a burden, a nuisance - and remained lost as ever.

The police stop him some hours before for the speed

Wow ..I learned something today ..Thank you !

Both James Dean and Donald Turnupseed were weaving in and out of traffic shortly before they collided. James Dean was coming over a spot in the road(incline/decline) that made it hard to see him from a distance, his car was built low to the ground, and the sun was in the eyes of Donald Turnupseed when he was making the turn. It wasn't the best design for a turn in the road in terms of safety. They changed the configuration of the road sometime after the accident.

Yes, but it wasn't his fault. The other driver turned left just in front of his Porsche and never gave Jimmy a chance to avoid the collision. Terribly tragic loss! He was such a personality, so talented, so different...unique.

Cecilia Polisena that's exactly what he's saying. if that person had been more careful, James Dean wouldn't have ironically died in a car accident. RIP Torn Prince

FireCracker3240 when he said it it gave me goose bumps

No Body james Dean in that movie i think was FINISHED

FireCracker3240 that the life but to faute is to jimmy ; pooor jimmy

Vicky Ray I think about that a lot watching Johnny Carson.

True. Young Americans (mostly females) talk in a very strange accent now. All clipped and mangled, or else vocal fried. It sounds like the croaking of grackles. James Dean was easy on the eyes, and easy to listen to, as well.

Also a lot of American men sound like gay hipsters.

L.F. Thornton you said female when referring to women... ew.

L.F. Thornton Only film actors or people in the public eye or on Tv talked like this. It was called “Proper speaking” or the “Transatlantic accent” it was taught to all film actors or tv personalities at the time. Regular folks did not talk like this, at least most.

I always thought it was a "Public Service" film clip

More like a safety first class starry James Dean. The irony of it all unfortunately being that this is exactly how he died, tears.

He's a method actor. His character was a drunk, so Dean himself was drunk in real life.

Pretty much how Hollywood did their thing then. All staged and 'glam'

Dominic Pace "Then." That's how it is now too.

Yeah that was really spooky

Yea man. Makes me wonder if I already called out the way I'm gonna die.

Could be, but at the same time, it might just as easily not be the case. Maybe it was just another way of trying to get the idea into peoples' heads.

Regine Quintos, Your comment should be pinned at the top.♡

Omg is that true?

It's more of a public service announcement than a commercial.

@@hiyapal7719 why cause she IS HOT?

I don’t know though. Recently I saw a news report saying he wasn’t even speeding at the time

He wasn't speeding when he got hit.

Not much choice

Adrian Ward why?

Grace you're adorable ❤️💕

Reminds me the Alanis Morissette's song "Ironic"

It’s actually so upsetting since he did get killed due to the guy speeding

eh, you mean hottest don't you? lol

haha yea, that also:)

Only cause he's good looking...

Truee

That is only true because he died young, if he had lived to see the 70's he would have become an alcoholic wearing muttonchops.

So did Marlon Brando.

@@MrDaiseymay Brando was perfection. He was like a Classical (Greek and Roman) statue. Dean was not as beautiful but was definitely cool.

So true. Rog.

1955 my friend

Not too long ago

- He would’ve been ahead of his time, only, if he’d followed his own advice.

Which culture u talking about? Just curious ☺

Fitzliputzli23 some scary shit

Actually, its been scientifically proven that his speed was not as outrageous as at first thought. However, he was not going the speed limit. He was not particularly driving dangerously in the sense that the road in that spot (been there) Is wide open for miles through a valley. What happened was that his low to the ground silver spider almost disappeared with the sun beating down and causing a mirage effect on the road. The oncoming driver did not see him and possibly mistook him for heat coming up from the road and most definitely due to the sun that was in his eyes coming up from behind Jimmys car. The car he was driving was one of those big old heavy cars while Deans was ultra light and small. Made out of fiberglass, i believe.

AbsintheColour actually the porsche silver spyder's body was made of aluminium, that's why it was ultra-light.

Jimmy was not speeding! He’d gotten a ticket prior !! I’ve been there too, and met the author of a book on the accident, who is from Bakersfield. It’s called “The Death of James Dean”, by Warren Beath, and it was the other driver’s mistake !! Not Jimmy’s!! But he was the son of a prominent man from that area. It was just a terrible accident but it was not James Dean’s fault.

…what ?

Parallel universe stuff. Perhaps in another dimension, He was a president.

Uh...the coolest was indeed David Bowie !

Nah this is just another iluminatti puppet.

lemmy kilmister is the coolest dude pal

@@Marco81blues lol and your evidence?

I dont get it why americans are obsessed with this dean guy i mean they are alot of other handsome men in the world so what makes him any different ?

why?

Because he was in his prime. RIP

+Rosie Summer I didn't know that, ty

Guillermo Pinto You are welcome. It was his death anniversary a day ago. 61 years ago. Apparently this clip was filmed a few weeks before his accident.

You really didn't know who James Dean was and how he died? Where have you been buddy?

Marlon Brando died when he was 80, lol

GiantSandles but he lost his soul

josh gainsboro Nice meaningless sentence you got there.

My two favourite actors, River Phoenix and James Dean RIP both of you

@@GiantSandles 80 years old and around 300 lbs.

Celebrities being president is the problem. We need scientifically educated, economically knowledgeable smart people to work for us in the White House.

@@maximusaugustus6823 Do you even know what they were talking about.

@@maximusaugustus6823 *cough cough* Reagan

Bro I just watched all that stuff. This comment gave me a weird feeling in my stomach lmao

yeh thats creepy

Don't compare James Dean with shitty actors please

Yamikuramashi And what if he was comparing? Dean died at 24, Walker at 40. Maybe Dean was more talented as an actor but Walker contributed to help others, especially with his charity work (and he did make a few blockbusters along the way). He was a great human being so who cares if he didn't win an Oscar.

MyRennae Peoples are so hypocrites with mediatization of the death of celebrities. :')) You people will make him miserable tributes on facebook by assigning human qualities to him like his donations, that have, really nothing to do with the true merits of an actor when we also know that if he hadn't his 'handsome' face he would not be "so regretted". And after, it's like it had never happened haha So so pitiful ^^'

Paul Walker? Whatever.

I wish a guy like him existed today :(

He's the most beautiful creature ever!!!!!!

SweetnSavory alex turner

GetajobUAhole Because this man asked his opinion about fast driving in a highway

Well, he did become a legend.

James was speeding twice the speed limit. Don’t blame it on the other guy

@@bigdawg7718 He wasn't going twice the speed limit as the papers (whose job it is to exaggerate incidents like these, by the way) had first reported. Investigators said it was more like 70 in 55 MPH zone, which is still speeding, but here's my argument. Why did the driver of the car Dean hit think he could squeeze in front of the Porsche that was clearly flying down the road? He endangered himself also and got Dean killed, but he walked away unscathed because Dean's tiny Porsche carried all the momentum. Turnipseed was not paying attention and made a careless turn right in front of a moving vehicle on the Interstate, and killed one of the best actors from the tail-end of the Golden era of Hollywood.

@@Jean_Pierre_Wehry I understand your point. But mine was that we shouldn’t glorify his death and blame turnipseed when they clearly both broke the law.

@@Jean_Pierre_Wehry My

On god every one was so chill

He wouldve made a good peter pan

And both in Porsches. Rog.

I think you should have a look at Monty Clift

Nicki Minaj Our Lord And Saviour correct

Nicki Minaj Our Lord And Saviour he looked modern his

Ahead of its time? lol, you know people's faces don't just change depending on the decade right?

mmmm I love Jimmy Dean breakfast bowls

There’s that one scene in Benjamin Button where Brad is explaining all the things that had to happen for Daisy to get hit by that car. Life really is a highway

Yep. Or even 10 seconds slower on reaching that intersection. The Ford would have been past and out of the way. Dean would have come up behind it and either slowed or passed it.

No if dean would’ve gone the speed limit he could’ve saved his life, but he wasn’t going the speed limit

@@onieljohnson8916 they determined he was only going 55, idk what the speed limit is on that particular highway but I would assume it’s 55-60

it's fucked, but that's how the world works, we just gotta do our best to make it as un-fucked as possible.

he would only be 11 years older than joe biden if he was alive today

How many pages is the magazine?

FarzadADI she adores him, and nor does it matter if "the kid" was a live or not. Not everyone's as old as you grampa.

its KZfaq baby.

Are you one of those priviledged to speak in regard of James Dean and think you're better than anyone else because you've been watching him for longer than others? James would disagree.

Laurynn Spaulding but now you are fine 17 lol and yes he is very cool😍😉 and you are beautiful too

ZaheedaNaheedya He adlibed his last line though

Correct it was an obligation he had to do that. Sounds scripted

How do you know this.

@@lindajenkins8901 - it's road safety clip that James did, he's acting

in 65 years no man has even got within a million miles

I don't think he was driving...Rolf was.

@@Nikes62, James Dean was definitely driving. In the days leading up to the accident, Jimmy couldn't stop talking about his car. The reason it looked like Rolf was driving was because an eye witness got confused by what he saw.

@@Nikes62 I think he was because his foot was caught between the clutch and the door and they had trouble getting him out of the car. I think people thought he was the passenger because he had been throw to the other side, only held in the car by his foot being stuck. His passenger thrown out of the car landing on the ground on the driver side. To a passerby it would look like Jimmy was in the passenger seat, but only because the force of the cartwheeling car threw most of his body to that side.

Dean was going 85mph he was driving. Rolf was thrown from the car.

@@romanreams1310, Rolf was thrown from the car yes, you're right. As for Jimmy's speed, no-one will ever know the exact speed he was going at the point of impact. We do know, however, that Dean got a speeding ticket a couple of hours prior for doing 65 in a 55. We'll never know the full speed he was going at the point of impact. One of the officers said that he didn't think that speed was a factor and an early '90s computer recreation (almost 40 years after the accident) showed that Dean's car travelled 45 feet after the point of impact, placing his speed at the time of impact at around 55-60, at or about five miles per hour over the legal limit of 55. If Dean had been going faster, his car would have travelled much further away than 45 feet from the point of impact and one of the officers who responded to the accident said that there would have been nothing left of the car had Dean been going faster than say the 55-60, the speed an early '90s documentary said. So we'll never know the true speed JD was travelling at the point of impact. Plus, it was nearly 70 years ago now and those involved on September 30, 1955 are either gone, old, getting old or not talking about that day.

Di cosa parli chi se lo ricorda...namo dai

I was searching for a James Franco comment. Yes i agree...

write a fan-email to Franco. Who knows.

He's not. That's not the accent he uses in that movie at all.

Yeah, I loved that one time he moved the Statue of Freedom to the Grand Canyon to make more floating heads!

Bill Hicks I felt River Phoenix channeling him more imo.

Driven by the monument probably over 100 x

@Jesse Mitchell they can also be considered beautiful you goof

?

right! I thought so too. and the fact that they were the ones that gave him the script AND in the background the photo of him on the wall is like a photo for a funeral, just really weird and creepy. someone/some people cursed him tbh. jealousy.
