Many celebrities have died at a tragically young age. History remembers them fondly and many might say that these celebrities who died young will remain “forever young”. Two of the most famous examples of the immortalized young are below:

James Dean (1931 – 1955): The famous actor (recently portrayed by real life lookalike James Franco) was perhaps best known as the star of Rebel Without a Cause. He died tragically in a car accident in which his last words were “That guy’s gotta stop… He’ll see us” which have become a warning to drivers everywhere to drive cautiously.

Jimi Hendrix (1942 -- 1970): The famous musician, named the best guitarist of all time by Rolling Stone magazine, is perhaps best known for headlining the famous 1969 Woodstock Festival. He died tragically from taking too much of the Vesperax sleeping medicine, which he was unaware was much more strong of a prescription than normal sleeping medication.
