James Dean lives on in South African-made TV commercial:
Imagining an alternative history in which Dean is now a Hollywood elder statesman, it shows the Rebel Without a Cause star on his family ranch, racing his own-brand sports car and receiving a lifetime achievement Oscar. Dean is also seen as film director, humanitarian ambassador and anti-Vietnam war agitator. In the final scene he has a car accident, just as in 1955, but when the smoke clears, he has survived.
The ad, shot in Cape Town, ends with the line: "Given more time, imagine the possibilities." It is for the South African investment company Allan Gray.
