MIXED SENTENCES DEATH of a LEGEND Sir Alec Guinnes is a famous British actor. In his autobiography, he tells the strange story of the night he met James Dean, a sensational new Hollywood film star.

“In the autumn of 1955 I went to Hollywood to make a film. When I arrived, after traveling for sixteen hours, I was very tired. I went with a friend to a popular Italian restaurant but unfortunately it was full. When we started walking out of the restaurant I heard someone call my name. I turned and saw a young blond man, in a white t-shirt and blue jeans. “Do you want a table?”, he asked. “Please, join me”. The young man was James Dean. I accepted. “But first, I want to show you something”, he said. In front of the restaurant, there was a large, shiny silver sports car tied with a ribbon. There was a bunch of red roses on it. “I’ve just bought it”, he said. “How fast does it go?”, I asked. “About 150 miles an hour”, he answered.

Suddenly, I spoke in a voice that was strange to me.: “Don’t drive that car. If you do, you will be dead this time next week”. James Dean laughed, I apologized and said I was hungry and tired. We went into the restaurant and had a very good time. We said goodbye an hour later.

At four o’clock the next Friday afternoon, James Dean was dead. He crashed his new sports car and died instantly.
