![]() This is what happens when a decade spent obsessing over the signifiers of a different decade lacks an icon on par with James Dean. Three months before that in Bellevue, WA, Perry had to hide in a laundry hamper in Bellevue Square Mall after 4,000 rabid fans descended upon him. In August 1991 at the Fashion Mall in Plantation, FL, an estimated 10,000 screaming fans bum rushed the stage when he came out, resulting in 21 people being injured, “ranging in age from 8 to 39,” according People, with the reporter adding, as to emphasize the what-is-the-world-coming-to bizarreness of it all, “ yes 39.” Twenty-seven and a half years ago, when Luke Perry was about embark on playing Dylan McKay in the second season of Fox’s “Beverly Hills, 90210," the promise of glimpsing him at an official mall appearance was enough to guarantee absolute chaos.
