    Imagine living in Marfa in 1955 and learning that Rock Hudson, Liz Taylor, and James Dean were coming to your town!

    These were huge actors that everybody knew, even this small town. How exciting that must have been. I know I would have been completely drawn in. R.I.P. James Dean

      Sadly, no. It's the end. No life after death. No sky wizards. Deal with it and leave childish fairy tales behind.

      Another Johnny Depp if he had lived longer. He's probably made several great Motion Pictures on the other side of this dimension. I believe in life after this dimension because the soul never dies. ♥️ 🎥 📺

    I can tell y’all this, in 1955 when they were filming GIANT…. All three of them and Dennis Hopper was with them came to the Imperial reservoir in a convertible. My mom was a teenager and she was there too. She said they played football with James Dean, and Liz Taylor was “drunk as a skunk”. She said she’d never forget it. She told me that James Dean told them how lucky they were to have it like they had it and to have families that care about them …. Not sure what he was alluding to but he said it. Anyways, thought y’all might enjoy that
