Dear All

Hello

On 30 September 1955, James Byron Dean was killed in a road accident in California, USA. He was only 24..

Mr Dean's mechanic, Rolph Wutherich, who was a passenger in the car, was taken to hospital with serious injuries. The driver of the other car was also injured.

His first film, "East of Eden", cast him firmly into the spotlight and many critics believe he had a glittering Hollywood future ahead of him.

His other films "Rebel without a cause" and "Giant" elevated the young actor to cult status as a symbol of rebellious youth to this day.

RIP Mr James Dean

Take gentle care
Very best wishes
