The mysterious Dean Reed, “The Red Elvis”, motorcycles through Moscow.
Denver-born Dean Reed graduated Wheatridge High in 1956. In 1958 he took off
for Hollywood, but instead, became a huge star in South American countries Chili,
Peru & Argentina where he heavily embraced Marxism. He later moved to Europe
where he became a socialist singing sensation in the U.S.S.R. and East Germany.
Reed’s body was discovered in a lake outside near Berlin in 1986. There is still
speculation on his cause of death. Was he murdered by the Russians, the Germans
or even the Americans, or is was it suicide? Reed is buried in Green Mountain
Cemetary in Boulder.
Dean Reed was also a TV star and an actor, starring in many spaghetti westerns
like Adios Sabata and this odd film below:
