Updated FAQ Now Available 
Posted Monday, 29 January 2001 by mist.

I've spent the last couple of hours working on the FAQ section of the site. The preliminary redesign of that page is done, and I'm currently going through all the old emails I have, working in earnest to get all of your questions answered as quickly and as best as I can. Please note that I'm currently in the process of packing, so all of my James Dean documentation is unavailable, but I'm doing the best that I can.

Here are the questions that have been most recently answered:

- I heard that Jimmy was a photographer. Its clear that he made movies, but did he ever publish any single photos that he shot? [read answer]
- What was Jim's favorite color? [read answer]
- James Dean wore a silver identity bracelet with his name on it. Was his name on the bracelet James, Jimmy or Jim? [read answer]
- Any news of Donald Turnipseed, the stupid guy who pulled up in front of Jimmy's car? Can you do a background check on this stupid guy? Did he ever regret the incident for the rest of his life? I wonder how his friends and co-workers would be treating him after the incident. [read answer]
- Did Jimmy smoke pot or experiment with any drugs? [read answer]
- Where would I buy the type of cigarettes, Chesterfields, that Jimmy smoke? [read answer]
