James Dean Museum in Indiana Closes - Yahoo! News / AP

Excerpt:

GAS CITY, Ind. - The museum chronicling the short life of James Dean has closed after struggling financially since its opening in 2004.

David Loehr, owner of the James Dean Gallery, announced in December that he planned to close the museum, but an outpouring of contributions led him to give it another try.

It ultimately shut down at the end of February, though, and Loehr has packed up and placed the memorabilia in storage.

So what´s the big deal? (Score:0)

whatever.. he´s was an irrelevant actor that became unfairly famous so early that he couldnt handle fame, fatal fame..

Morrissey´s fave hero? Just coz he was gay ? i can argue that by saying that doesnt made him good.. i´m fuckin´ tired of hearin´ gayness (sic) is equal to talent..

call me a bastard but I can´t agree with making him a hero

and help to re-open the james dean museum?

i think he should since dean's family participated in a minor way with the making of the video "suedehead".
