Back in the late 70's, as one of my college jobs, I worked at a rental darkroom called Artcraft in Westwood. A guy showed up one day to make proof sheets from a set of 35mm negs. It turned out that these were shots of Dean working on the Spider before driving up the coast. If memory servers correctly, I think he said these were the last images taken of him (other than the coroner's).
I saw those reproduced once, but they've since slipped off the radar.
Anyone know what's happened with those shots?

Bob, there is an exhibit about James Dean in Berlin
now. The exhibit shows the real Dean's Rolleiflex
camera and Dean's Porsche copy, also photos about Dean
and photos taken by Dean using the Rolleiflex. There
is a brochure about the exhibit here:

and, mirabile dictu, sporting a Rollei TLR on his
chest, hood closed
and lenscap on. Looked like a Tessar/Xenar model.

Can you guys really tell that's a Rollei?  The
quality of the photo
isn't good enough to read the nameplate.  Could it
be a Yashicamat?
