Q: I heard a casual reference recently about James Dean's old car being cursed. What's that about and, well, is it true?

Sadly, I'm not qualified to say if James Dean's Porsche 550 Spyder is, in fact, cursed. I can only offer some facts and let you decide for yourself. 

The central fact is, of course, that James Dean ("Rebel Without a Cause," 1955) died in it. He crashed it in September 1955 on a treacherous stretch of California highway, en route to a race. It's remembered as one of the most iconic gone-too-soon deaths in Hollywood history and a true-life tragedy.
