Puzzle Description:

James Dean was driving his Porsche 550 Spyder west on U.S. Route 466 (later State Route 46) near Cholame, California when a black-and-white 1950 Ford Custom Tudor coupe, driven from the opposite direction by 23-year-old Cal Poly student Donald Turnupseed, attempted to take the fork onto State Route 41 and crossed into Dean's lane without seeing him. The two cars hit almost head on. Dean was taken to Paso Robles War Memorial Hospital, where he was pronounced dead on arrival at 5:59 p.m. His last known words, uttered right before impact, were said to have been "That guy's gotta stop... He'll see us."

I've always thought it so strange, he did so little acting wise and yet is so famous. I wonder how great he could have become.

Excellent puzzle. He is (was) so gorgeous. You certainly did his image justice.

(Not having read the preceding comments...)
I expected a car, until I looked at the lay of the numbers. After getting the edges, I realized it was a face, looking back at me. then I saw the mouth and nose, and I saw, well, let's not name him just yet. Got to finish that left (his left) eye.
Nope, but it sure does look like Putin, doesn't it?

Yeah, they both have that same little pout.
