James Dean Postage Stamps – Legends Of Hollywood Part II Of II

In continuation from Monday…

James Dean died an untimely death on a California Roadway on September 30, 1955 at the young age of 24. His short Hollywood career and early death transformed Dean into a cult type figure with timeless fascination by people from around the world. Dean is remembered by his home town of Fairmount, Indiana each year with a fantastic four day festival. Cholame, California has a concrete and steel memorial sculpture in front of the post office which is near the location where James Dean died. In September of 2005, the California Highway Department named a Junction in Cholame after James Dean to commemorate the anniversary of his death.

James Dean is buried in Park Cemetery in Fairmont, Indiana. In a strange twist, over the years Dean’s gravestone has been stolen, in its entirety, several times. It has been found and returned to the grave site after each theft. Many fans have traveled to see the headstone and some have actually chipped away at the gravestone and kept a portion of it as a souvenir. His worldwide popularity and following may never be dimmed.
