Description
After the passing of 50-odd years and the conflicts of memory, the true picture of actor James Deans last day alive is now seen through a kaleidoscope of many coloured pieces. Though each has been shaped differently by fact and fiction, all contain something of the truth. In James Dean: The Last Dream Trip, the author has brought all these differing pieces together in a fiction-based-on-fact account of that last day. Though basically the story of James Dean from the moment he woke up on September 30, 1955, and set out in his new Porsche Spyder racing car on a 300-mile trip to take part in a race meet until he was killed en route after colliding with another car, the author has also woven in other biographical details that capture something of the wild essence that made James Deans life and death so lasting an impact upon the world.
