The day an icon was created. The day an icon died.  They say, “In a heartbeat... your life can flash in front of you."  James Dean did not believe that.  Until 5:44 p.m. 9-30-55.  A day. An hour. A minute. A second. James Dean’s life flashed in front of him in a heartbeat.  We all have a lot more to remember than we think.
