But recently he boujht a new Porsche Spyder, made of aluminum, and it crum pled like a piece of tinfoil In the accident.- "I begged him to tow She car to the races." his good friend, insur ance agent Lou Bracker. said to day. 'That Spyder is not for driv ing on the streets. It's a racing car. Even if he bent a fender get ting; out of the city he would be disqualified from the race." In eight years of covering. Hol lywood, I have never seen a cel ebrity's death roclc Hollywood as did Dean's. Since the crash near Paso Robles, his friends, acquain tances and the usual Hollywood hangers-cn who want to Cash in on the tragedy have talked of nothing but 24-year-old Dean. Some acnuamtances think Dean s last minute decision to drive the aluminum car on the highway In- steaa oi towing it was an uncon scious urge towards death. Bill Hickman, who was drlvlne with photographer Sanford Roth in Jimmy's station wagon behind Dean, tninks Jimmy seemed de- uressed and "when we slomwri fori Icofiee on Ihe way he had a strange I loos in his eye. ' otier lriends,! agree "Jimmy .hadn't been -in a good mood lately." . I . But Bracker pointed out "Jimmy! was always nervous before a race." "Jimmy once said, 'I've got to do things fast. I haven't got much lime.' But he didn't mean that as a premonition of death, but that he wanted te do so many things Ui his life," said Lou.
