Long before Sir Alec Guinness played Obi-Wan Kenobi in the original “Star Wars” movies, he met James Dean in September of 1955. Dean showed him his brand new Porsche 550 Spyder, and Guinness had a premonition.
“Please do not get into that car, because if you do… it’s now Thursday, 10:00 o’clock at night and by 10:00 o’clock at night next Thursday, you’ll be dead if you get into that car.”
James Dean crashed that car and died on the afternoon of the following Thursday… September 30th, 1955.
For those of you that don’t know.. James Dean was a young promising actor who died in a car crash at the age of 24.
