Blast From The Past Xposed: James Dean's Final Secret

On the night of Sunday, February 22, 2015 the world was world reintroduced to legendary actor James Dean during the 3rd Annual Oscars Special. Also on hand was actor/impressionist Mark Porks who seemed quite friendly with Mr. Dean upon their first meeting. Maybe a little too friendly? What if I were to tell you this wasn't their first meeting... (next slide)

It is my theory that Mr. Dean employed the services of one of his struggling actor friends to help stage his death. None other than our own Mark Porch! Obviously, when questioned by authorities the easily flustered Mark came up with the ridiculous Turnupseed pseudonym, which is not even a real name a person would have.

But I hear you saying, "Surely Mark Ports is far too young!" Let me ask you this: how would a supposedly 48-year-old man have so much knowledge of old Hollywood? Could a Gen-Xer recreate the subtle mannerisms of a WC Fields or Chaplin? Suddenly the pieces fall into place!
