THE DEATH OF JAMES DEAN

By Warren Newton Beath

202 paged hardcover book with dustjacket. Dustjacket has some shelf wear. Book in good condition. Foxing to the very extreme edges of pages.

"On the afternoon of 30 September 1955 James Dean and his mechanic,
Rolf Weutherich, set out from Dean's house in Sherman Oaks in his new
Porsche Spyder. They were going north to Salinas to take part in a
weekend race meeting. Just after five o'clock they stopped at
Blackwell's Corner, the junction of highways 33 and 466 to have a drink
and to talk to some fellow racers who were also en route for Salinas.
Before leaving, one of them warned Dean to 'be careful of the cars
turning in front of you. The Spyder's hard to see and its getting dark.'
An hour later Dean was dead, killed instantly when his car crashed
with another at an intersection.
His death pitched him immediately and lastingly from teen idol status
to that of one of the few truly legendary stars of the cinema. Thirty
years on (1986) the obsession continues. He is still the ultimate icon
of teenage rebellion. Thousands of fans make annual pilgrimages to
Dean's home town, Fairmount in Indiana and to the intersection on
highway 466 where he died. Dean's films still play to packed houses
around the world, and his fans are renowned for their tireless
devotion and seemingly insatiable appetite for any scrap of
information or memorabilia relating to him.
The countless rumours and conflicting reports about the accident
have ensured that the mystery surrounding Dean's death has never
been fully explained. In DEATH OF JAMES DEAN Warren Newton
Beath has meticulously gathered a mass of information about Dean's
last day - he gives an almost hour by hour account of the events
that preceded the crash and has drawn upon eyewitness accounts
and many unpublished documents, including a transcript of the
inquest, to present the most thorough and accurate account of
Dean's death and the cult that it generated."
