jamesdeaner: James Dean died before he could fail, before he lost his hair or his boyish figure, before he grew up. He was something of a latter-day Peter Pan, telling his followers to hurry, to ride, to aim high, but never to grow up, as he never grew up. Marlon Brando, it may be noted, lost his iconic status before the 1950′s were over, by simply living too long. He still commanded respect and occasionally deserved it, and he was a star - but not a heroic figure. James Dean, with the tales of his boyhood neatly tidied up and the accounts of his adolescence carefully sanitized, became the hero of a new generation. - Rebel: The Life and Legend of James Dean -- source link
