DEATH of a LEGEND

Sir Alec Guinnes is a famous British actor. In his autobiography, he tells the strange story of the night he met James Dean, a sensational new Hollywood film star.

In the autumn of 1955 I went to Hollywood to make a film. When I arrived,

after traveling for sixteen hours, I was very tired. I went with a friend to a

popular Italian restaurant but unfortunately it was full. When we started

walking out of the restaurant I heard someone call my name. I turned and saw

a young blond man, in a white t-shirt and blue jeans. Do you want a table?,

he asked. Please, join me. The young man was James Dean.

I accepted. But first, I want to show you something, he said. In front of the

restaurant, there was a large, shiny silver sports car tied with a ribbon. There

was a bunch of red roses on it. Ive just bought it, he said. How fast does it

go?, I asked. About 150 miles an hour, he answered.

Suddenly, I spoke in a voice that was strange to me.: Dont drive that car. If you do, you will be dead this time next week. James Dean laughed, I apologized and said I was hungry and tired. We went into the restaurant and had a very good time. We said goodbye an hour later.

At four oclock the next Friday afternoon, James Dean was dead. He crashed his new sports car and died instantly.

* James Dean made only three films: East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant.
