Twins in America - James Dean Festival

Fairmount, Indiana salutes its most famous native each September with the Museum Days Festival. Dean made just three films in one year of acting before dying in a car accident at age 24 but his roles in those three films (East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant) have immortalized him as a hero to generations.

Among the annual events at his festival are a James Dean look-alike contest so that's something most twins should be used to (looking like someone else, not necessarily James Dean!) Here's more on events planned for the annual festival.
