23 September 1955,Dean an American Film Actor had just bought a 1955 silver Porsche which was nick named 'Little Bastard', when he encountered Sir Alec Guinness a British Actor, Grace Kelly, and Louis Jourdan outside a restaurant.(23-September ) He showed them his new Porsche, and bragged that it could do "a hundred and fifty."
As Dean can't disguise his delight, his companion can't conceal his horror. Indeed, no sooner has he cast his eyes over the car than the visiting Brit shoots his acquaintance a hard stare. "If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week."Sure enough, only six days later (on September 30) they pulled James Dean's lifeless body out of the twisted wreckage of his new Porsche, on a lonely stretch of highway near Paso Robles, California. He had been driving more than twice the speed limit when he crashed.
Following a Quaker funeral service, he was buried back home in Fairmont, Indiana.
