HOLLYWOOD (UPI J allies
Dein would be alive today, tils
close friends believe, if he hadn't
decided to buy a lighter, faster
sports car
His old white Porsche, car ex
perts say, would have withstood his
collision last Pridav niuht wi'.h a
heavier Ford. 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.
''He wan fed to become a bust-, Introduced on the set of "Rebel
ness tycoon. -We were planning to Without A Cause" he grunted and
open a Porsche agency. He wanted looked away. Then he saw my

He was well-informed on moderh
classical music, but he also liked to
talk about be-bop and rock 'o rolj.
He wore glasses, and appeared
studious. He wanted to become an
"Intellectual." . ,
Rocky Graziano movie, lie wanted
to do 'Billy The Kid' as his own
independent production. -
"He was learning to sculpt and
play tennis.'
I knew Jimmy briefly. He was
wary of reporters. When we were
with Jimmy - at the wheel we :
roared around corners while I
tried to interview the actor.
I saw him at every sports car
race. He would run eagerly from
turn to turn, watching the cars
screech and sway.

ties of a sharp droo held out some
hope of relief for the stricken port
