Happy Birthday, Keith! May all your presents be wrapped in Cosmoline!
Note to the confused elderly gent: owing to the International Date Line, your birth at 5.30am 1 Oct 50 (1230hrs, 30 Sep 50 Californian time) occured BEFORE the time of James Dean's death (1430hrs)! So, no, I don't think it was in the news yet. Despite the fact that you cannot be James Dean reincarnated, there is no reason not to Revel Without a Pause on your birthday.
