Oh Yes, James Dean. I can so well remember going to see his second film(Rebelwith a Cause), all by myself at a local cinema. All of 14 years old, came home to find my parents had some friends over for a meal (did not call them dinner parties back then), I remember walking in and very dramatically, putting down my handbag, then stating loudly 'I am in love', turned on my heel and as I left the room finished the sentence - ' With a dead man'!!! Then went to my bedroom to cry.
I can also remember sitting in coffee bars surrounded with photos of him, and going though Rebel, word by word, - I saw it so many times I knew it off by heart. Had bracelet, necklet and I still have the scrap book I made then.
As time went on, I did have other film idols, but none like the intensity of Dean - we were called DeanAgers.
