of him didn't get captured on film. Interesting side note- his father died in 1995 (!)

And I'm sure there were many. He would have been a director, producer, and much more.

Went right out and bought a red windbreaker, as close to Dean's as I could find.
Started turning my collar up.
He was, and still is, my absolutely, pluperfect, ultimate example of cool.
Understated, laid back, wry wit, and the topper... Natalie Wood adored him.

I'm 73, and right now I have a red windbreaker in my closet.
It's still my favorite jacket.
