retrospect

James Dean sitting in an open coffin at Hunt’s Furniture Store in Fairmount, Indiana, 1955. He would return to his hometown in a coffin just seven months later. Photographer Dennis Stock later recalled that day I had no idea he was going to do that, and I’d never have suggested he do such things. It frightened me, and I know it frightened him, too. In retrospect, I think his way of dealing with fear was to make fun of it, to taunt it…I think we both knew that Jimmy would never come back home again and that life would never be the same for him there. The trip was really a nostalgic farewell to his origins, his way of saying goodbye to the past. I don’t mean to imply that he felt he was going to die, but I believe that he felt that he was truly on the way to a far different life.
