Saw a NOVA special on this years ago, and read about it in two different car magazines. They all say the same thing... Dean was doing the speed limit and driving safely when a moron in a gigantic Ford station wagon pulled out right in front of him. He was a helluva driver in a certified race car and *still* couldn't avoid the collision. He held on for awhile but finally (as I recall) just bled out. Damned, damned shame.
But he didn't "live too fast", that's for sure.

He was a good, thoughtful, actor and he was from Indiana.
What else needs to be said?

Hey Liitle Foot haven't heard from you in a while. ONly movie I can remember seeing of his was "Rebel Without a Cause". Good movie. I don't know a whole lot about the man himself though.
