James Dean was an American actor and his destiny as a cultural icon was insured by his untimely death. Always the thrill-seeker, Dean had recently purchased a Porsche 550 racecar. While driving it to a race in Salinas, California (and shortly after receiving a speeding ticket), Dean collided head-on with a car that had crossed into his lane.
