What a salt-of-the-earth and genuinely nice guy this gentlemen was, God bless him!
Country people are pretty chill?
James Dean came from a great family. Marcus holding onto all his cousin's stuff & how humble he is & just the info you get from him is really special.
I was born and raised in Fairmount. As a kid growing up in Fairmount I never grasped what James Dean or Jim Davis impact had on people that wasn't from there until my teenage years. I went to school with Marcus's son and you would have never guessed he was related to a legend. The Winslow family is a treasure of Fairmount not only because of Jimmy but because of who they are as people of our town.
I would luv to visit Fairmont a dream come true
Mainly because they do not act like they are related to a Hollywood legend, but because they have not allowed it to change them. That is what is important!
Good people from all accounts.
My wife & I visited the then James Dean Museum back in the ‘90’s. Everyone was so nice to us. I even got to try on the “East of Eden” sport coat! Wonderful town & people!
I love those pictures of Jimmy and Marcus as a boy. You can tell they were very close. Marcus really was like Jimmy's little brother....
Really enjoyed this video. Mr. Winslow is such a pleasant and kind man.
I learned so much more about James Dean, it’s so sad that he was taken at such a young age. Marcus, what a great man, it’s never been about money only memories to him and his family. Thanks for the great interview Scott!
Shows what kind of good people James Dean came from.
This man is the salt of the earth. He is as rare a gentleman as his cousin was rare a movie star.
James Dean is alive today because of this sweet man and his family! They have allowed him to live on! Thank you, Sir, for your generosity, your tolerance of all the many years of questions and curious fans, and for always being SO kind. Thank you for allowing US, to know and love Jimmy through YOU. Your kindness is what has made it possible. God bless you and your family and God bless James Dean. I have wanted to go to Fairmount since I was 16! I am now 46 and in 4 weeks, I will finally get my wish! :-) I hope to see the museum, and the farm and maybe even speak to Mr. Marcus if he's around the festival with that beautiful Ford.:-) Much Love to you all!
Wasn't it amazing? I went 18 years ago.
My son is now 22 and got diagnosed with bipolar. I am certain J.D. had that....similar from all the books I read. They even look alike. Jim had insomnia, irritability, moody, reckless, etc. Praying medication works for my son. :(
I was 14 when he died and I remember crying……I had a crush on him …..so sad.
I am 81 now.
I was 13 I liked him and Sal Mineo thought Natalie Wood was so beautiful
I lived in a small town just south of Fairmount. Back in the late 70s we used to ride our motorcycles up on the weekend and visit his grave. We have a smoke and leave one for him. RIP JD
In the summer of '83, my parents, my little nephew, & I, were in Fairmount, Indiana. We were on vacation and I was a teenager, who wanted to be the next James Dean; red jacket, white t-shirt, jeans, and all. We met, by accident, Marylou Winslow, at a pharmacy there in Fairmount. My mom explained that we were in town to go to the Dean museum, but it was closed. Marylou said she could take care of that and she did. At the museum, I met Adeline Nall, James Dean's high school drama teacher. Mrs. Nall and I talked and she said that I reminded her of a young Marlon Brando, which wasn't too bad of a thing. Marylou Winslow, had us come out to the Winslow Farm, where she showed us Dean's hand and foot prints in the cement, which was covered by a piece of cardboard at the time. In the same small barn, sat a green, four door, '49 Ford, which she said, I believe, had been a high school graduation present to Dean, from Marcus and Ortense Winslow. I believe in your video, I saw it, inside with Marcus in the larger building, but it's since been painted red. I have a bunch of photo's from that day. We went into the Winslow home as well. It was fantastic. I'll never forget a moment of that trip, nor that visit with Marylou Winslow at the Winslow homestead. Marylou gave my little nephew a red motorcycle helmet, which belonged, I believe, to her son. My nephew, who died at just 29 years old, back in 2010, kept the helmet for many years. Today, both of my parents are gone as well, but my memories linger along with me, which I am very grateful for.
That story is awesome
@MrRJDB1969 What a lovely sweet memory for you to have. They sound like wonderful kind people. I'm so happy you had that beautiful moment.
may they all rip, so sorry for your losses, 😔🙏🙏🙏, and what an amazing experience.
This was awesome! Very nice of Marcus to take the time to be interviewed. That was so cool you got to put your hand in James Dean's handprint.
I used to pass Vic Damones home down here in South Florida every day for many years (and Stockard Channing's, which is right down the street) and occasionally he was at a local restaurant that we both favored. I always wanted to ask him about the James Dean story but never had the guts. By the way, this restaurant has a ton of memorabilia and many pictures of James Dean all over the place. I wonder how that affected Mr. Damones digestion LOL. By the way, this should have at least 1,000 "likes."
Pier said, Jimmy was the love of her life.
Jimmy and his family are absolutely fascinating. This gentleman is a gem. Thank you, Scott and Jordan, for this warm and precious interview
I couldn’t help but to tear up seeing the pictures of James & his cousin as a little boy. You could see the love they had for one another.
This was an amazing video. Mr. Winslow was a kind man to set with you and Jordan and tell stories about James Dean. I was born they same year hear died, and my Mother loved him. Thank you again for taking us along with you on your adventures.
I knew the screenwriter of Rebel Without a Cause and he had some good Jimmie stories. When JD died he went to the funeral and stayed in JD bedroom. Also the famous peacoat that Jimmie wore in the New York pictures was his. He said Jimmie called and said he was going back to NY and needed to borrow a warm coat.
This interview is the best. What a sweet man. Thank you Scott.
Everything about this video was so touching. Great job Scott! I think this ranks as one of, if not the best video you've done.
Scott, what a great interview, love it so much!!! 🌼
I used to drive past the gas station on Ventura Blvd. pretty much every week day. It was such a disappointment when the fence went up and they eventually tore it down. Really sad to lose that iconic piece of LA history.
great video! super cool guy... james dean cousin!!
I was just here yesterday! Such a beautiful property. Beautiful. I love the town and every single person we encountered was so kind and informative. Hope to go back soon.
What a wonderful video! Thank You so much for sharing. I was born in 1945. Like so many young girls thought James was so handsome. RIP ❤️
I've been a huge fan since I was 16 when I caught 'rebel' on tv late one night. I'm 38 now. Being in Australia I haven't been able to visit his resting place etc but hope to one day.
Two of my favs doing a cool interview. I have been following Scott around some he was just an internet page..eagerly waiting for the next awesome celebrity update. The website Faces of Death I think it was called. You should do some sort of vignette youtube on that. It was def part of my morbid satisfaction back in the day, so well written and interesting! Jordan you just showed up in my youtube thread a few years ago. I love your friendly style that makes fans feel part of your life. Way to control yourself and not pick up some concrete Scott! BLESS YOU BOTH! Maybe some day y'all will have your own memorial museums dedicated to your contributions.
I like Marcus, he's a simple guy living a simple life who was left with a complicated legacy. Yet he's humble and very accommodating to his late cousins numerous generational fans, and keeping the memory alive. Thats a genuinely good guy 😎
What a great video! I love the generosity of the family for sharing so much. Also how respectful and kind Scott is.
Marcus you are such a treasure.
Great interview! I loved Fairmont, Indiana and everything James Dean.
That was a great video! I really enjoyed watching your interview with Marcus Winslow, Jimmy's cousin. He sounded like a genuinely kind, generous, down-to earth man. A lot of my relatives on my dad's side of the family came from farming backgrounds, and he reminded me quite a bit of my late uncle. ❤ R.I.P. James Dean
You always make my day better! Thank you.
I wanted to go to the festival this year. I do not have the money. I had a stroke and my law firm fired me. I have a huge box of James Dean stuff.
Back in 1999 while studying Industrial Engineering and Statistics, I found a site that hosted these types of videos, but I cannot remember if it was TH-cam.
A company out of LA did research and analysis on car accidents and specifically in the area of road skid marks to determine what happened.
So based on the JD accident data, skid marks, and where both cars stopped after the accident, the company took this data and created a comparative analysis and their results was interesting.
They found that it was likely that Dean was travelling about 55 mph. In the computer analysis, because his car stopped at the telephone pole, 55 mph was highly likely. Had Dean been driving faster than 55, or slower than 55, his car would have stopped on either side of the telephone pole and missed it completely.
Damn 😳 that’s interesting yet sad.. when he had his coffee and breakfast with his dad.. he could have never imagined his short life was over. Can you even imagine what his career would have been if not for that fateful moment in time!
I admire Marcus for having so much patience and love with the many fans and people coming by. I like that he has kept Jimmy’s things together and not tried to profit of it.
That's when you know he was loved. As started they were more of a brotherly bond then of cousins. Fun fact Marcus when by markee when Jim was alive. His Father was marc sr
What a great interview. Tag teaming with Jordon. What could go wrong. Thanks Scott.
I actually felt goosebumps when I watched you place your hand into the print Jimmy left all those years ago. It’s as if it’s been waiting for you this whole time. I’m happy for you. I love your channel so much. It took me awhile to run into it. Found you researching the tragic stories of old Hollywood…Hollywood Babylon if you will. Anyhow, yours is a channel after my own heart!
To me a bad actor in the vein of William Shattner. Over acts every scene. His death enhanced his legacy. Small town people never throw anything away. Kudos to his family.
I got to ride in the ‘49 Merc from “Rebel Without a Cause!” It was housed at Harrah’s Car Museum, Sparks, NV, at the time we visited, many years ago! Great vid!
I actually missed James Dean. He died two years before I was born. But his story fascinates me just the same.
Great video Scott . I was there Indiana about 10 yrs ago . My mother lived very close by .
Last August I had the Honor
Of meeting Jorden at the Tigerman Dojo in Memphis . I’ll never forget how friendly & kind Jorden is .
Scott I grew up not to far from where u grew up . I’m looking forward to my next visit to Los Angeles so I can go to the places that you and Jordan have videoed . My goal was to join you on one of your dearly departed tours unfortunately you’re no longer there . But you are on my bucket list . I can’t tell you how much I’ve enjoyed your videos through the years, I hope you continue . Big Fan !
Mr.Michaels, I love your channel as you have great content. I know that you are a big fan of James Dean. I was wondering if you could possibly give us a video of his last apartment in L.A. I know that Jordan the Lion has covered it but maybe you can (if allowed) give us a view of inside his apartment over the garage. In addition, I understand that he still had a place in New York. Is there a way to find out if it still exists and maybe getting a video of this place?
All of us James Dean fans would certainly appreciate it. Thank you for all you do!
I just visited. Impossible to find a place like this that has not been turned into crass commercialism. Fairmount is magical. How did the concrete get cracked? Refreshing that he is so chill and only concerned about respecting the legacy of Dean rather than money. A lot of the legend of Dean due to the fantastic photo work of Dennis Stock.
Wow, I thoroughly enjoyed this--he's such an awesome guy, I appreciate how kind & thoughtful he is to the fans! I've never seen the hand/footprint, wow. Beautiful collection of cars & wall decor, just wow. Thank you Scott & Jordan, great video.
What a nice guy Marcus is. This was fascinating. Thanks so much for sharing.
I really do not know anything about James Dean. I came to the page after visiting my Death A Day app. I don’t understand the fascination surrounding him. I have never seen one of his movies, so I just don’t get it. But thank you Scott for the information. I really enjoyed it & I have to tell you that I really enjoyed the piece you did on Bella Lugosi, he was truly a legend!
To understand anything about him, perhaps watch East of Eden. That's a starting point.
Marcus is a good hearted, sweet, sensitive man. He is such a credit to his parents who were beautiful people. Jimmy was very lucky to have been raised by the Winslows. My hands fit perfectly in the copy of the handprint caste at the Fairmount Museum. My hands also fit perfectly in Natalie Wood's handprint at Grauman's Chinese Theatre. That was amazing!
"A kind and compassionate act is often it's own reward."
Cheers From Coastal South Carolina
Cheers to you from the upstate SC!!!
Thanks so much for this! I enjoyed every minute. James Dean captured an essence of Hollywood that I dare say will never be experienced again. 😊
Jordan the Lion always a great guy to help out
I just loved that movie Giant. He was spectacular . All his other movies are great also. Especially when he did that trick with the rope and I think a small ball on the end or it was a knot. He put that in the movie himself. That was neat.
I’ve traced my ancestors back and discovered I’m a distant cousin. I’ve always had a fondness to him.
I love james dean. I miss him so much
So refreshing to hear from the Accidental Relative- someone who sincerely preserves the life and legacy of James Dean.
There should be a James Dean movie.
I really enjoy all your videos. Keep up the good work Scott. I'm also a huge James Dean fan.
Imagine the possibilities, if he lived. indeed!
Thank you James dean's cousin Marcus for posting this interview about jimi....
Well done Scott! I enjoyed it very much :)
So, this home had been James Dean's (family ) home or did he buy this home and they inherited? Great video nice to see real stories being done instead of joining the many who have been talking the Chris Watts case just to gain revenue! Its totally ridiculous that most don't move on and actually refresh there channels by doing the real work it takes to cover content they feel subscribers would enjoy or gain insight . Those of us out here like myself appreciate your hard work! So deserving of patreon'... Keep up the great work! Thank you ..
The home that you are talking about belonged to Dean's uncle and aunt and now belongs to their son Marcus who is a direct cousin of Dean.
Mr. Michaels, forgot to ask you if you can cover who has possession of the ticket that James Dean signed before his death. I am guessing that this is probably the last time he signed his signature. Thank You!
Mr. Winslow is truly amazing and I love all the tractors that he has around him. They are beautiful I know you’ll never see this message. It was a year ago that you made this video but thank you so much for intervening Mr. Winslow.
Thank you for doing this video. I am a big fan of James Dean.
HI SCOTT,, GREAT VIDEO!!! BUT SAD IT WAS VERY NICE OF THE GENTLE MAN TO TALK TO YOU AND SHOW YOU AROUND,.. I REMEMBER JAMES DEAN AT GRIFF.PARK ,, A STATUE THERE.. PEACE!!!
Really enjoyed this.Well done.
This was such a great experience for me and interview. Next time I’m in LA I will definitely do your tour. Your tours are so famous (I’m in Australia) I’m loving watching your videos. This reminded me how much I loved James Dean as a teenager (90’s) I had a life size image of him on my bedroom door. (Which at night used to scare my mum half to death every time coming up the stairs) The intrigue is how complex he seemed and of course just how good looking he was. Thank you to you all for the questions asked as they were exactly what I wanted to know as well. Thank you to Marcus for your time and the stories. I really want to go to that museum. Oh and if anyone knows how old James was when he put his prints in the barn, please let me know. They seemed small, no? Was he a teenager? 🌟🌟💕😘
There's never any photos of you, Mr. Marc, growing up. Going to high school. Just you as a boy. Nice shirt. The little cowboy shirt. My aunt Katy worked Du Pars coffee shop , she knew Jim. I used to have a little toy bongo with blue tape on it, I guess he gave to her, but she had given to another aunt's son, then he died, after she died I had the toy for many years. Hard times, I lost a lot of stuff.
Thank you, Scott, for another superb video!
Thank you both for this interview. This one day will be historic due to Marcus's age. What a nice man to let you all ask him personal questions and go the the barn. Now that was really cool. You learn so much when you get to speak to his family.
Thanks Scott, this was really great! What a sweet man.
love the video! thanks!
That was so wonderful. His cousin is just a down home guy but very wise to people.
Awesome interview Scott!
I am friends with an older gentlemen that use to hang out with Jimmy when they were kids and he told me that Jimmy hated Levi button up fly jeans when they were kids but later Jimmy a commercial for Levi jeans later advertising the exact button up jeans he disliked as a kid. Lol 😂
It’s off the connection to tragic things.. I ended up with a piece of the Lynyrd Skynyrd plane and a chunk of the brown carpet from the back of the plane.. authenticated and recovered from a really really good guy from Gillsburg Mississippi. Who was heavily invoved with the
Lynyrd Skynyrd memorial at the crash site. I don’t know why it so special… but the last person to walk on that carpet with his bare feet was Ronnie VanZant..
I visited Fairmount. I swear I could feel him there.
What a sweetheart of a man. I just want to give him a great big hug.
What a laid back guy he’s really humble sweet person.I enjoyed his story from both Jordan an Scott .that ticket happed here in Bakersfield .
Thanks for the time you put in always.
I would love to stop at the museum if I get out that way.
Wow this was neat !! 😍 His cousin seems chill and easy to chat with, kinda seemed stoned too lol love it !!
A odd thing..when I was around 11 years old I got knocked unconscious after school. I was in the nurse office. They kept asking me??my name ? I kept saying I am Dizzy. My head hurts. Finally my mom singed paperwork and said ok " Dizzy Dean " let's go ...( To the Dr)...I replied....no...I'm Jimmy "
Thanks for doing this !
What a great and treasured time!!Big big thanks to this kind gentlemen and family anmd you and Jordan for your all your time and efforts.
Why the heck do people steel things like gravestones!?! Like a famous painting being stolen, one couldn't keep it on display for bragging rights. It would have to be a truly disturbed or just plane stupid person to even want something like that obtained illegally!
Very cool, Thank you guys🌹RIP James🌹
I was just in Marion Indiana where it’s James Dean all over the place, this is a great one! I really loved your @Heidi Fleiss interview & would love to see a good follow up to it. Xxo
What an amazing interview and video of James Dean. RIP 🙏⚰🙏
Is Marcus still alive? 18 years ago I visited and put my hand where Jim's was too... Surreal. Marcus was a sweetheart.
Love Markus what a kind man, thank you for this interview.
Splendid interview. Thanks for sharing
A basketball hoop in a barn in Indiana. Doesn't get any more Hoosier.
Scott, thank you for doing this. I truly enjoyed it and I still visit your site from time to time. Keep up the good work man. I thing I really liked was the pics of Jimmy and Marcus together. They seemed to be extremely close and I can only imagine the despair Marcus probably felt when Jimmy died. It seems to me both Marcus and Jimmy were really brothers. Again, great work.
Wow Scott, thank you so much for this great interview with Dean's cousin.
Another amazing video!
From what I can find his wallet was auctioned in london for over 5k....wish dearly departed could get it and return it to his family.
As a licensed funeral director i always wondered if Kuehl's Funeral Home in Paso Robles, California performed restorative art for his viewing. i wish You would have asked his cousin Marcus if it was an open casket service at Hunt's Funeral Home in Fairmount.
- The ambulance that carried James Dean is now a collector 's item ...
@@jamescalifornia2964 Have you seen it? Are their any photos? Who owns it?
@Thomas Crown - Years ago it was on a _TH-cam_ channel about professional cars ‐ mostly ambulances and hearses . I believe it was a Buick . Not sure who did the conversion.
Apparently it was authentic - but who really knows .... ?
@@Caspet78 -••• Yes - hard to believe ... That entire day was jinxed 😑
No, it wasn't open casket. 🤬
Love the video thanks scott
