In the early 1950s, Nurmi was close friends with James Dean, and they spent time together at Googies coffee shop on the corner of Crescent Heights and Sunset Blvd in Hollywood. She explained their friendship by saying, "We have the same neuroses." Dean allegedly repudiated their friendship toward the end of his brief life. As Hedda Hopper related in a 1962 memoir that included a chapter on Dean: "We discussed the thin-cheeked actress who calls herself Vampira on television (and cashed in, after Jimmy died, on the publicity she got from knowing him and claimed she could talk to him 'through the veil'). He said: 'I had studied The Golden Bough and the Marquis de Sade, and I was interested in finding out if this girl was obsessed by a satanic force. She knew absolutely nothing. I found her void of any true interest except her Vampira make-up. She has no absolute.'"
The 2010 public radio documentary Vampira and Me by author/director R. H. Greene took issue with Hopper's depiction of the Nurmi/Dean relationship, pointing to an extant photo of Dean and Vampira sidekick Jack Simmons in full Boris Karloff Frankenstein make-up as evidence of Nurmi and Dean's friendship. The documentary also described a production memo in the Warner Bros. archive citing a set visit from "Vampira" while Dean was making Rebel Without a Cause. The Warner Bros. memo was first mentioned in the 2006 book Live Fast, Die Young: The Making of Rebel Without a Cause by Lawrence Frascella and Al Weisel, who were given access to the Rebel production files. An interview Frascella and Weisel conducted with actress Shelley Winters also uncovered an instance where Dean interrupted an argument with director Nicholas Ray and Winters so he could watch The Vampira Show on TV.
Vampira and James Dean?

After taking the year before off and mourning, this was the first Halloween she actively celebrated after the death of her close friend James Dean. With her is another long time friend Jack Simmons, dressed in a costume of questionable taste… James Dean as carwreck survivor still undergoing plastic surgery.

Is it just me or does the mask remind you of the classic strip from Mad Magazine, Spy vs Spy? It's crazy!

STUPID RIOTING IDIOTS
The owners of a 140-year-old family furniture store were devastated today after seeing the charmed remains of the building that fell victim to the riots last night.
House of Reeves has stood on the same corner in Croydon, south London, for more than a century but was targeted by rioters as violence spread across the capital.
Flames ripped through the historic building and spread to neighbouring businesses as firemen battled desperately to quell the inferno.
But today it was looked likely that the damage which was 'worse than the blitz' would force the ravaged building to be demolished and rebuilt.
Owner Trevor Reeves said: 'It has just provided (for) my family and the 15 or 20 staff and families that were supported, it's just completely destroyed.
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
'Words fail me. It's just gone, it's five generations. My father is distraught at the moment. It's just mindless thuggery.'
His brother Graham told Sky News: 'Our lives are destroyed, it will probably be someone else next week. It's horrendous, 35 years I have been down here.'
He said the business was established in 1867, but he now had 'nothing', adding: 'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.
'I was in the Brixton riots but this is worse. My life is destroyed.'
One eye witness said: 'The building has survived the test of time. The damage last night was worse than the blitz.
'Everything is just gone, we have just got nothing left.'
