Kim Kardashian was born to be famous. Her maybe-godfather is a cut-up NFL Hall of Famer, and she seems willing to do anyone … er, anything to keep her name in lights, so long as it doesn’t involve work or talent.
See, Kim knew she’d be famous. An eighth grade graduation party is all the proof we need.
Talking directly into a home movie camera, the precocious 13-year-old Kardashian told people to “remember me when I’m famous.” As an eighth grader, she had that air of confidence to make it and to control a room. Another accurate prediction she mentioned is that she’s “dope on a rope.” Yep, she’s dope, all right.
James Dean’s fatal car crash at age 23 took virtually everyone by surprise. One man, however, probably wasn’t shocked since he somehow saw it coming: Alec Guinness.
In July 2017, Hollywood Reporter (via its Heat Vision blog) discovered a long-forgotten 1977 interview Guinness gave the BBC’s Parkinson Talk Show. He claims he met Dean on September 23, 1955, when Dean invited Guinness to sit with him at a Hollywood restaurant where the future Jedi Master couldn’t get a table. Before they went inside, Dean showed Guinness his new car, which he bragged could go 150 mph. Guinness reportedly asked if he’d ever driven it before; Dean admitted he had not. At that point, according to Guinness, “Some strange thing came over me. … I said … ‘Please do not get into that car, because if you do … by 10 o’clock at night next Thursday, you’ll be dead’.”
What’s spooky isn’t just that Guinness was right — it’s how completely on-the-nose he was. He said by next Thursday, Dean would be dead if he drove that car. Sure enough, next Thursday, September 30, 1955, James Dean was driving that car, got into his famous accident, and died immediately. So, is Alec Guinness a soothsayer? Or did he make everything up 20 years after the fact? There’s no way to know for sure, but it is Obi-Wan Kenobi we’re talking about here. Why would he lie?
