I`ve seen the stop motion movie he made,it has been shown on TV in documentaries about him,I`m sure you could find it on here too...It`s quite funny--a bit like watching Wallace & Gromit.
Even as a child he was photogenic. Very expressive face. He looked really good in glasses. Its so bittersweet; his family loved him so much and he loved them. They molded him and let him be himself and he really shined and soared. Sad that he missed out on long term love with Pier.
88 today. Dean lived in feeling, but they had intentions, deep intentions, he was beautiful and this video reminds me of why. His life was rich in creation. He relished objects and made them part of himself. I wish I would have done the same. No one needs to keep plastics. But woods and leathers and papers and cloth you feel the infusion of his spirit in them. The was a being who weeped and sighed for those who needed to heed it. Lovely work man, just so right you did it.
Wow! Memories! Had a crush on James Dean back in the day. When he died I cut a photo out of a movie magazine of him, framed it, and made a sort of shrine for him, which I kept on my bureau…I was young then…I see him in your video with Sal Mineo. Sal was popular then, as well. Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏
He didn't wear those chaps in giant. They are publicity photos. In his brief career. He was most photographed person on planet. This is such a loving moving tribute. Jimmy would have been touched. Jordan thank you. Marcus thank you.
This is great. Being an artist,actor,sculpter, athlete race driver,motorcycles, etc. He was bound for historic destiny. Im impressed with all his artwork. Extremely talented person beyond acting.
What's even crazier about all his talent is he was excellent at everything he did .....he wasn't like oh I'll dabble in that and it was just mediocre no it was great and he was a great race car driver as well got many ribbons and trophies for his short life
Amazing exhibit, so many personal items. I couldn't stop saying Wow !! Thank you so much Marcus. The Fairmont Historical Museum should be on everyone's to do list, or bucket list, it's truly a gem.
Jordan, you have outdone yourself on your James Dean vlog series. I have never seen his movies but I am going to. He was much loved by his family, friends and fans as you have shown to all of us. The museum was just the best and you always have tidbits of knowledge that add to the history of James Dean that probably wouldn’t be shared if it weren’t for you. A special thanks to his cousin for all the time and effort he has spent to make this museum so wonderful. Enjoy the rest of your trip.
@@boopsscoopz2206 GIANT IS EPIC! GIANT is my FAVE!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ HE DISHES OUT "TONS" OF TALENT.... THAT GUY WAS REMARKABLE!! AWESOME!! Ya know James chain smoked... He loved to smoke. He's got a cigarette going nearly ALWAYS! That's the only downside he had... IMO. Still, a GEM!!
Thats a fantastic museum full of personalitems that belonbed to James and that normally would end up auctioned off to private wealthy collectors. Kudos to the people who run this place. Very very cool indeed.
I have to be honest. I really didn't think much of James Dean. I thought he was just racing around in his car. But you've shown him as just a regular guy from a small town with a family and that acting was just something he wanted to do. Thank you for changing my opinion of him. Like you said there was a lot of not so nice stuff written about James. Getting to speak with his cousin was just awesome. I love the awe and surprise in your voice when you're telling us what we are looking at. Makes the volg even more special. Wonderful Vlog. Can't wait to see what you have in store for us tomorrow.
Have you not seen any of his 3 Classics? Those performances alone should have been more than enough proof to convince you of his immeasurable talent. BTW, Jordan goofed again when he said that RWOAC had been released when Dean was alive. East Of Eden was the only film released during his lifetime. RWOAC & Giant was were both released posthumously . I also must question his claims that cousin Marcus purchased most of what we see in the museum. I am almost certain that most of the memorabilia was acquired by David "Dean Of Deanabilia" Loehr - Dean archivist & curator of the James Dean Gallery/Museum.
Wow!!! I didn't realize he was such an athlete. His 1918 motorcycle. Incredible. I have learned so much from you...your such an amazing person. Eerie about the pictures of him in the caskets. It's nice to see his grave is decorated so nice and not forgotten. Thank you so much my friend. Much love to you and Jah and your family 💖
Well Jordan, thanks to you and Marcus James Dean will not be forgotten. This is the most beautiful and expansive museum I’ve seen in a long time. Thank you for sharing this with all of us. ❤️🙏🏻💐🌹
What I love about your Vlogs is that you always get what each of us always wanted to know or see! I just cannot get enough of one of my most favorite actors James Dean. His humble and wonderful upbringing and how kind his family still is. Thanks to his cousin Markus there is so much of Jimmys memory left and you brought that memory to us in yet another amazing vlog. One can tell that Jimmy and Markus had a very tight and wonderful bond. And I still find it very sad and haunting that this young and talented man is no longer among us. His memory lives on through all his memorabilia. I just want to thank you! Well done!
It truly sinks in that he died far too young cos my brother died at the same age too so its just so heartbreaking. He had a lot to live for and a really long life ahead
What a fabulous collection of memorabilia! Marcus was so kind and generous to honour James in this way. Anytime TCM plays a James Dean movie, I watch. He was just such a talent and I always think about what he could have accomplished.
I can't begin to tell you how much I enjoyed this. I am 64 and would never be able to come to this musuem. I have so enjoyed all of your videos. You put so much thought, research and love into all of your stories. Thank you from the bottom of my heart! May you be blessed this coming year. Nancy
Poignant, moving memorial to an all time great - Jimmy Dean (intelligent, quirky, artistically and athletically gifted). A profoundly moving, multi-faceted, actor. Great tribute this vlog is to a legend. Those jackets are rad - to own one !
Great vlog! I never knew that James Dean was so artistic and could do just about everything. Just loved seeing his motorcycles and all of his personal belongings. Thanks to you I have learned so much more about James Dean.
Would this perhaps be one of the largest collections of film star memorabilia in one location? How wonderful that the items are stored in his hometown museum and is supplied by a caring cousin. All the vast talents of James Dean seem to be addressed in this one place. This vlog has enticed me to visit one day.
Enjoyed the walked through of James Dean personal belongings. A special thanks to Marcus for donating James Dean personal affects. Thank you Jordan for the road trip.
I enjoyed that so much, can’t believe he was so young when he died, what a waste of a great talent. Didn’t even know a museum exists , but it was great to see all the exhibits , and everything was in such great condition. Thanks Jordan for all the effort you put into this. It was great
WOW!! What fantastic memorabilia. So lovely that so many of his belongings are in this fabulous museum so that we can all appreciate them. Such a shame that he died so young, a true legend. Your vlogs on Jimmie's life have been remarkable and I have learned so much more on him through these. Well done Jordan.
Again, an amazing podcast. I've learned a lot about James Dean I didn't know. God Bless Marcus for his generosity to the town and world, to build a place where people can come and see the essence of James Dean. Literally, James Deans whole world. The care and up keep to everything can be seen here. I'm so touched that you can hear and see the true James Dean, not the James Dean of the tabloids and "would be writers". Seeing him from the eyes of his family is so touching and we are all grateful for Marcus. I almost forgot to say, I did not know that James Dean was such an accomplished artist. His painting and sculptures are beautiful.
I worked in a supermarket in Marion, Indiana with a lady who dated James Dean -- also saw his hometown of Fairmount, Indiana. Saw his high school, museum, and home & grave stone.
When I hear the intro music, my mood instantly rises followed by a binge of all your videos. They are as classic and vital as the Golden Age Hollywood itself!
Jordan, thank you and the wonderful memories from your dear wonderful friend Shelly. For making these brilliant vlogs. A star that still shines in movies and in our hearts!
No wonder James become immortal in our reality , he was extraordinary unbelievable promising actor & artist and sportsman , his life cut short but so much he went trough like he lived 100 years , he is missed a lot ...
This is an awesome Museum of Jimmy! All the things he was interested in doing makes him well rounded. Very thankful for the family who so graciously gave their time and love for keeping his memory alive. Great Vlog 🦁❤️!!
The actor with Dean at 15:28 was Corey Allen. He played Buzz in Rebel Without a Cause. It's easy to mistake him for Marlon Brando, because they do resemble a bit. Great video!
I lived on a farm outside Fairmount and my Father was acquainted with Jimmy's aunt and Uncle and when I was about 1 1/2 we wet to visit and said he sat me on Dean's dog. So I guess not many can say they rode on Jimmy Dean's dog. This would be the late 40s.
What an outstanding collection of personal artifacts. It has been well displayed and documented. That is awesome of the family to do that. It is a snapshot of his life and career. Thanks for taking us along Jordan!
I'm playing catch up with your vlogs today... This was wonderful... You show how he was so much more than a pretty face. He was a person of true substance, a talented actor, artist, athlete and intellectual...most importantly a son, grandson, cousin and friend. He poured so much living into just 24 short years. Thank you for always being respectful to everyone and everyplace. I'm a history geek, I love to see the places I may never see in person through you eyes...
I loved seeing all of Jimmie's personal things !! Didn't know there was a museum but I hope to visit it some day. He was an amazing actor, so sad he died so young . You out did yourself with Jams Dean blogs ! Thank you so very much !!!
Great vlog Jordan! What a wonderful museum! He had accomplished so much in his 24 years but who knows what else he might have accomplished if he was still around!
Jordan, this to me was one of your best blogs. I knew James Dean was great but after watching your blog I'm so glad until you that I got to learn how many facets as an artist he was. And it just proved how sensitive and a perfectionist in everything he did. He was not only a great actor, sweet, kind in a true babe. After watching your blog I've become a new real James Dean fan. God bless r i p James Dean.
Wonderful, absolutely wonderful. I had no idea there is so much of his belongings still around. What a great tribute to his memory. You can feel how much he meant to his family, and the community. Thank you so much Jordan, very well done. 🍁❤🍂
Full circle Jordan. I love all things James Dean and u have made this old lady very happy. It was luck that my patron sun glasses video was at the crash site and now U give us 2 full days of amazing. He was ahead of his time. But most importantly U have done a brilliant job of putting so many of those lies and conjectures about James to rest. U told the real TRUE story and that in itself is a wonderful way to honor and preserve the memory. One last time, thank u for ur hard work and for caring about the truth. And thank u for the orange sunglasses. 😉
I met Adeline Nall at the museum in Fairmount, back around 1983. She said that I reminded her of Marlon Brando, which came out of no where, but I took it as a huge compliment. We had been out at the Winslow Farm with Mary Lou Winslow, who gave us a tour of the farm house and grounds. Mrs. Winslow was very nice and we appreciated her taking the time out of her day to spend with us. She gave my three year old nephew a motor cycle helmet, that belonged to someone in her family, and I remember him walking around with it on his little head for the remainder of the vacation trip. Great memories from that year. Also, that record in the glass case, I just uploaded here on TH-cam, lol. Funny, to see another copy of it, since I thought had something really rare. Lol. Oh well, wishful thinking. We went to cemetery too, but at that time, his headstone was missing.
Thank you Jordan..I know so much more about James Dean..he was so talented and a genuinely good guy...what an amazing full life for a young man to accomplish..💕❤
Really nice, thank you for taking us there to see Jimmy's things. He loved sports, and he loved driving fast. Such a short life, but he seem to have made it full.
this is so cool ! it’s good to know there are people my age who appreciate the legends like this. i’m 33 and it’s rare to meet someone of similar age who is into this stuff. but james dean was such a legend . a progressive, and ahead of his time. having made such an impact with such a short career, he will always be remembered for being one of the stars that shined brightest.
I love this vlog Jordan🥰💙I am a huge fan of James Dean💙Giant is my favorite JD movie💙 I am so happy you did this vlog. It's fabulous 💙 it's so tragic how he passed, one only knows what his career and life would have been had he not passed so suddenly.💙
I didn’t realise how talented this man was and what he managed to achieve in 24 years. Imagine what he could have achieved if his life spanned an average length. All the movie roles he would have had for future films that were given to other famous actors and other directions he could have taken later on.
Your adventures are fab for people who can not travel nor get to see all the interesting places you go. The commentary and knowledge you have is so interesting, love it.........
You did a great job documenting his life. Glad you stayed away from all the gossip about him, and focused on the life of the him as a boy,and the man. Wonder if his apartment is still standing in NYC.
I was there back in 97 met Marcus . An old guy named Dave use to run the Museum . I spent so much time in the Museum Dave took me over to the house was able to go in the barn. I met Marcus . I even went to the church James Dean attended. . I sat in his green Ford Dean drive to skool. I have an autographed serious 1 bio signed by Marcus. I think I may have even tried on his jacket. So much fun. I still have all the memories .
Excellent vlog! I was born in Muncie, Indiana, and my family and I loved taking weekend day trips to Fairmont. During college, I interviewed his best childhood friend Robert Pulley for a class project. He said that Jimmy was a real character, and that the only time he really saw him heartbroken was right after his breakup with Pier Angeli. I really my visits to the museum.:)
What a great vlog. I had no idea he was so incredibly talented. He would have been a success no matter what he chose to do in life. He sure did live life to the fullest, it makes me think to not wait around to do things cause you never know what can happen around the bend. Thanks so much for sharing
Really interesting to see his motorcycle and all the memorabilia of his! Very talented young man. Loved viewing his pictures as I never really have seen any! Thanks for more memories!🌹
Outstanding... Boy does this bring back memories. Growing up I used to fish in the pond at the Winslow home (very good people). My mom went to school with him and was so proud of his success. He was quiet and not nearly the rebel as portrayed. Too bad the old school collapsed and is being demolished. They tried to save it but couldn't raise enough $$$. It had deteriorated from vacancy over the decades.
Thank you for recording this and giving all of us james dean fans a virtual tour of the fairmount musuem. I hope one day to visit in person even tho i live in california.
Have been to Fairmount many times for the James Dean Festival. Several years ago I was at the James Dean gallery for the 100th time and the owner, David, opened the display case and I got to touch the clothes he wore in Rebel Without a Cause. Pretty cool experience. Went back to the gallery last year and all the clothes were gone. David said he had to sell them due to some financial troubles. Sad to hear but glad I had the chance to see them when I did.
Thank you for this very interesting video. At about 15.35 min there's a photo where you talked about Brando on it. It is Corey Allen, actor in "Rebel". Greetings from Germany!
The old windmill from giant is still standing. It no longer has the platform, and only like two or three steps exist anymore. Can only depict it if you really know what you’re looking at so most people probably don’t know it still exist, but just beyond it is where the house used to stay at until they tore it down.
Great show Jordan I was raised in Marion Ind in the 1960s and I remember seeing his birthplace home, the house of seven gables before it was torn down. I loved my hometown then and still do. Thanks again.

Notice at the 4:15 mark, to the left it says Jimmie made a stop motion movie with the little bull fighter pieces and bull pieces..
that's really cool
That is truly amazing! 🐃
...thus tying together my
Thank you for taking me to the museum I enjoyed seeing all the stuff. If it was not for you I would have never seen all this stuff.
I`ve seen the stop motion movie he made,it has been shown on TV in documentaries about him,I`m sure you could find it on here too...It`s quite funny--a bit like watching Wallace & Gromit.
Pretty sad, everything is there but Jimmy. He sure packed a lot of life into those 24 years.
You are right I that's when I started to collect thing's mostly old stuff antiques
Right on... Almost as if he had a premonition.... Such a fistful of talent. God bless him... 💔
He accomplished many things in his 24 years. Very talented. I hope Marcus can keep this museum going for years to come. Thanks for sharing
Holy cow that boy James was a renesaunce man, painter, writer , scholar, athlete, daredevil, musician, you name it.
Even as a child he was photogenic. Very expressive face. He looked really good in glasses. Its so bittersweet; his family loved him so much and he loved them. They molded him and let him be himself and he really shined and soared. Sad that he missed out on long term love with Pier.
88 today. Dean lived in feeling, but they had intentions, deep intentions, he was beautiful and this video reminds me of why. His life was rich in creation. He relished objects and made them part of himself. I wish I would have done the same. No one needs to keep plastics. But woods and leathers and papers and cloth you feel the infusion of his spirit in them. The was a being who weeped and sighed for those who needed to heed it. Lovely work man, just so right you did it.
Wow! Memories! Had a crush on James Dean back in the day. When he died I cut a photo out of a movie magazine of him, framed it, and made a sort of shrine for him, which I kept on my bureau…I was young then…I see him in your video with Sal Mineo. Sal was popular then, as well. Keep up the good work! 👏👏👏
He didn't wear those chaps in giant. They are publicity photos. In his brief career. He was most photographed person on planet. This is such a loving moving tribute. Jimmy would have been touched. Jordan thank you. Marcus thank you.
Amazing life for such a young man. Forever young forever eternal. An American icon. Rip kid you made history. You’ll never be forgotten.
Cant believe james did 3 movies and became legend omg
imagine what he accomplished if he was alive
Miss him so much
Wow James Dean accomplished a lot in his short lifetime. He certainly lived it to the fullest! Another great job Jordan!
This is great. Being an artist,actor,sculpter, athlete race driver,motorcycles, etc. He was bound for historic destiny. Im impressed with all his artwork. Extremely talented person beyond acting.
What's even crazier about all his talent is he was excellent at everything he did .....he wasn't like oh I'll dabble in that and it was just mediocre no it was great and he was a great race car driver as well got many ribbons and trophies for his short life
“Rebel” and “Giant” were both released after his death. He never went to any of his movie premieres because he didn’t show up for “East of Eden”.
Look what this man accomplished in 24 years. Thank you, Jordan, for the James Dean vlogs. You did him proud.
An excellent actor who internalized his roles & portrayed them so naturally! Love him!
an incredible man, impossible not to love him. RIP
Amazing exhibit, so many personal items. I couldn't stop saying Wow !! Thank you so much Marcus. The Fairmont Historical Museum should be on everyone's to do list, or bucket list, it's truly a gem.
Sleep in peace
Outstanding!!!! I have a new appreciation for James Dean after learning about his personal life.

fairie Elchlepp East of Eden followed by Giant would be my recommendation
@@boopsscoopz2206 GIANT IS EPIC! GIANT is my FAVE!!! ❤❤❤❤❤ HE DISHES OUT "TONS" OF TALENT.... THAT GUY WAS REMARKABLE!! AWESOME!!
Ya know James chain smoked... He loved to smoke. He's got a cigarette going nearly ALWAYS! That's the only downside he had... IMO. Still, a GEM!!
fairie Elchlepp omg you have to see East if Eden!! Just an amazing performance!!
Your in for a great experience
@fairie Elchlepp - start with “Rebel Without a Cause’, then “East of Eden “ and “Giant”
Thats a fantastic museum full of personalitems that belonbed to James and that normally would end up auctioned off to private wealthy collectors. Kudos to the people who run this place. Very very cool indeed.

I like how at 24:15, he drew Oklahoma on the cover.
Enjoyed the walked through of James Dean personal belongings. A special thanks to Marcus for donating James Dean personal affects. Thank you Jordan for the road trip.
So much memorabilia!! What a great way to see the person James Dean was. Couldn't stop saying wow! Thank you Jordan for these incredible vlogs!
This is the best video on the internet highlighting the James Dean collection ive seen.
This is a phenomenal collection
I enjoyed that so much, can’t believe he was so young when he died, what a waste of a great talent. Didn’t even know a museum exists , but it was great to see all the exhibits , and everything was in such great condition. Thanks Jordan for all the effort you put into this. It was great

Again, an amazing podcast. I've learned a lot about James Dean I didn't know. God Bless Marcus for his generosity to the town and world, to build a place where people can come and see the essence of James Dean. Literally, James Deans whole world. The care and up keep to everything can be seen here. I'm so touched that you can hear and see the true James Dean, not the James Dean of the tabloids and "would be writers".

His painting and sculptures are beautiful.
This is heaven for a James Dean fan. What a great museum.
I used to dress up like him and ride my motorbike all around the town. He is the greatest inspirational in my life.
I worked in a supermarket in Marion, Indiana with a lady who dated James Dean -- also saw his hometown of Fairmount, Indiana. Saw his high school, museum, and home & grave stone.

Jordan, thank you and the wonderful memories from your dear wonderful friend Shelly. For making these brilliant vlogs. A star that still shines in movies and in our hearts!
No wonder James become immortal in our reality , he was extraordinary unbelievable promising actor & artist and sportsman , his life cut short but so much he went trough like he lived 100 years , he is missed a lot ...
I love these kind of museums. its like being teleported back in time
This is an awesome Museum of Jimmy! All the things he was interested in doing makes him well rounded. Very thankful for the family who so graciously gave their time and love for keeping his memory alive. Great Vlog 🦁❤️!!
The actor with Dean at 15:28 was Corey Allen. He played Buzz in Rebel Without a Cause. It's easy to mistake him for Marlon Brando, because they do resemble a bit. Great video!
I was looking for this comment.
I watched this again ..sept 30 ..64 years today ..gone..this is a wonderful vlog ♥️♥️♥️Thank you!

She gave my three year old nephew a motor cycle helmet, that belonged to someone in her family, and I remember him walking around with it on his little head for the remainder of the vacation trip. Great memories from that year. Also, that record in the glass case, I just uploaded here on TH-cam, lol. Funny, to see another copy of it, since I thought had something really rare. Lol. Oh well, wishful thinking. We went to cemetery too, but at that time, his headstone was missing.
Thank you Jordan..I know so much more about James Dean..he was so talented and a genuinely good guy...what an amazing full life for a young man to accomplish..💕❤
Really nice, thank you for taking us there to see Jimmy's things. He loved sports, and he loved driving fast. Such a short life, but he seem to have made it full.
One of your best in my opinion! This exhibit was incredible yet so sad. RIP JD
this is so cool ! it’s good to know there are people my age who appreciate the legends like this. i’m 33 and it’s rare to meet someone of similar age who is into this stuff. but james dean was such a legend . a progressive, and ahead of his time. having made such an impact with such a short career, he will always be remembered for being one of the stars that shined brightest.
I love this vlog Jordan🥰💙I am a huge fan of James Dean💙Giant is my favorite JD movie💙 I am so happy you did this vlog. It's fabulous 💙 it's so tragic how he passed, one only knows what his career and life would have been had he not passed so suddenly.💙
THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH...for sharing this !!! My family and I have loved Jimmy all our lives.....God bless him....🙏🌅
I didn’t realise how talented this man was and what he managed to achieve in 24 years. Imagine what he could have achieved if his life spanned an average length. All the movie roles he would have had for future films that were given to other famous actors and other directions he could have taken later on.
Your adventures are fab for people who can not travel nor get to see all the interesting places you go.
The commentary and knowledge you have is so interesting, love it.........
You did a great job documenting his life. Glad you stayed away from all the gossip about him, and focused on the life of the him as a boy,and the man. Wonder if his apartment is still standing in NYC.
Jordan, this was awesome! Thank you for sharing the museum with us. James Dean was the definition of cool. Keep up the great work!!!!!
Imagine if there had been TH-cam back then...James and that horse at 15:35 would have gone viral.
yes but then EVERYTHING James did would have gone viral
Didn't know there was a museum. what a great place, and so many of his things. Really enjoyed the James Dean vlogs.
This man is amazing. far ahead of his times. true artist.
I was there back in 97 met Marcus . An old guy named Dave use to run the Museum . I spent so much time in the Museum Dave took me over to the house was able to go in the barn. I met Marcus . I even went to the church James Dean attended. . I sat in his green Ford Dean drive to skool. I have an autographed serious 1 bio signed by Marcus. I think I may have even tried on his jacket. So much fun. I still have all the memories .
Love this one Jordan, I had no idea James Dean was an artist, thank you x
Excellent vlog! I was born in Muncie, Indiana, and my family and I loved taking weekend day trips to Fairmont. During college, I interviewed his best childhood friend Robert Pulley for a class project. He said that Jimmy was a real character, and that the only time he really saw him heartbroken was right after his breakup with Pier Angeli. I really my visits to the museum.:)
I live in Ohio. I would love to go to this museum. I surely appreciate the family kept his belongings and share with us. Very cool video. Ty Jordan
What a great vlog. I had no idea he was so incredibly talented. He would have been a success no matter what he chose to do in life. He sure did live life to the fullest, it makes me think to not wait around to do things cause you never know what can happen around the bend. Thanks so much for sharing
Really interesting to see his motorcycle and all the memorabilia of his! Very talented young man. Loved viewing his pictures as I never really have seen any!
Thanks for more memories!🌹
James Dean Truly Is The Greatest Actor Of All Time.
RIP James “Jimmy” Dean. Truly Immortal.
Outstanding... Boy does this bring back memories. Growing up I used to fish in the pond at the Winslow home (very good people). My mom went to school with him and was so proud of his success. He was quiet and not nearly the rebel as portrayed. Too bad the old school collapsed and is being demolished. They tried to save it but couldn't raise enough $$$. It had deteriorated from vacancy over the decades.
Gone too soon. James Dean was an amazing and pure talented young man. Born to be a star/legend⭐ Rest in peace🕊
So cool to see so much of his life on display! Absolutely a great experience that I will be watching again and again! Thanks, Jordan! ❤
Thank you for recording this and giving all of us james dean fans a virtual tour of the fairmount musuem. I hope one day to visit in person even tho i live in california.
Have been to Fairmount many times for the James Dean Festival. Several years ago I was at the James Dean gallery for the 100th time and the owner, David, opened the display case and I got to touch the clothes he wore in Rebel Without a Cause. Pretty cool experience. Went back to the gallery last year and all the clothes were gone. David said he had to sell them due to some financial troubles. Sad to hear but glad I had the chance to see them when I did.
What a great tribute to James Dean. Fantastic job on your two part vlog of this incredible cinematic icon!
Thank you for this very interesting video.
At about 15.35 min there's a photo where you talked about Brando on it. It is Corey Allen, actor in "Rebel".
Greetings from Germany!
Marcus was so nice to share this with everyone. I enjoyed seeing it. If you see him again please tell him that we said thanks.
Wow! Now THAT'S a thorough collection!! Love his paintings in particular. Great video Jordan!
I found it interesting how involved in school he was these are some great items...great Vlog
I chatted with Jane Withers one evening. I wish I had had ages more to talk with her.
Oh,I bet the neighbors in NY just loved it when Jimmie play his bongo
Amazing, Just Amazing!!!.. This Was Such An Amazing Vlog, With So Much To See!!.. So Interesting, So Moving!!!.. Thank You, Jordan!!.. WOW!!!!!
The old windmill from giant is still standing. It no longer has the platform, and only like two or three steps exist anymore. Can only depict it if you really know what you’re looking at so most people probably don’t know it still exist, but just beyond it is where the house used to stay at until they tore it down.
Yep, I've vlogged it a couple times now
It could be argued that Mr. Dean was a renaissance man. Very interesting about a life that was lived but was to short. Good Pick Jordan.
Legal.Assisti o filme com James Dean ,achava o um cara simpático e bom ator. Bonitão.❤️💕👋🌼🦋👏
This has to be the largest collection of owned items of a movie star on display ❤
Great show Jordan I was raised in Marion Ind in the 1960s and I remember seeing his birthplace home, the house of seven gables before it was torn down. I loved my hometown then and still do. Thanks again.
