Illustrated with sections of both black-and-white and color photographs. "In Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die, readers take an evocative journey with author Keith Elliot Greenberg as he pieces together the puzzle of James Dean's final day and its lasting impact. Greenberg travels from Dean's hometown of Fairmount, Indiana, all the way to the Cholame, California, roads that underlay the tires of the actor's infamous Porsche Spyder. Along the way, the author talks to Dean devotees, such as Pamela Des Barres - the self-professed "world's most famous groupie" who spends part of every year communing Dean's spirit in Fairmount - and to some who knew Dean personally: Marcus Winslow Jr., Deans cousin whom the actor considered a younger brother, and Lew Bracker, one of Dean's best friends. Greenberg touches upon the equally tragic fates of some of Dean's most notable contemporaries (Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo), as well as that of his passenger, German mechanic Rolf Wutherich. Taking the story back and forth in time, Greenberg gives insight into what drove Dean to live on the edge - the early loss of his mother, his relentless drive to explore for the sake of his craft. Dean once said, "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today." He lived to experience, and the one love that compared to his love of acting was his love of racing cars. Greenberg puts the event of Dean's death in historical context, reflecting on the world Dean lived in at the time: an era after World War II, with the advent of rock and roll, and the sixties coming down the pike. The star's too-soon departure froze him as a symbol of cool, and, as proven by the 20,000 fans who return to Dean's grave each year to pay homage, a major influence on people of many generations. With fresh insider interviews, riveting storytelling, and acute attention to details - from vehicle specs to Dean's stops along the way (including one for an ominous speeding ticket) to how the news reached the world - Too Fast to Live, Too Young to Die delivers a thoughtful look at James Dean's death as a historical moment and at the actor's continued life as a seminal icon."- from the rear outer cover.
