Hollywood's Cursed Icon


One day in 1955, James Dean was showing off his Porsche 550 Spyder to actor Alec Guinness. That’s when Guinness made a bone-chilling premonition. Guinness told the young star “If you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week.” Sadly, his eerie prediction came true.

September 30, 1955 was the last day of Dean’s life—but he wasn’t alone. His reported last words seconds before the accident were chilling. Although Dean's passenger, Rolf Wütherich, did not remember the moments before the crash when he was interrogated in the coroner's deposition, sources report that Dean's last words were, ""That guy's gotta stop...He'll see us"" right before he crashed into a car crossing over the center line.

James Dean only spent a few years in Hollywood—but his gruesome end and the scandals he left behind have undoubtedly immortalized him.
