Yep James Dean was probably the one to follow immediately after "Rebel
Without a Cause" but his untimely death took him out of the calculation as
to who was the coolest. I did buy a Red "Rebel" jacket though way back in
the day.

Although he never quite made into the "late" 50's because he was killed in
his Porsche 550 Spyder in 1955, James Dean defined "cool" for many of us
who were either teens or preteens (what we now call "tweeners" ) back then.
All the guys wanted to be him and all the girls wanted to save him from
himself.
Now that you have pushed my nostalgia button, do you remember a PI show in
the early 60's called Richard Diamond, Private Detective ? David Janson was
the star but Mary Tyler Moore played the girl at his answering service. All
you ever saw we're her legs while he was talking to her on the phone and
flirting with her. Her face never once appears on the show.
