Classic Film Travel Destinations: The James Dean Museum with Curator Dorothy Schultz
Description
My guest is Dorothy Schultz, curator of the James Dean Museum
We had a great talk about this thriving tribute to an actor who burned bright in his short life and left an enduring legacy. The
museum is home to the largest collection of Dean artifacts and attracts visitors from around the world. It is also deeply loved and supported by the
surrounding community, which includes Dean’s family. Dorothy shared stories about the museum and the annual festival it hosts, tips about how to make the
most of a visit, and what Dean means to her as an artist and influential figure.
