Watching a bio narrated by Martin Sheen called Forever Young.

i have his picture on my wall and and apples-to-apples card with his name and definition. "dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today"

Quite possibly the greatest actor ever!! There will never be another James Dean! :)

Why yes. I am James Dean's biggest fan. Be jealouus.
