James Dean

James Dean the legend, the actor and the icon was the image of restless American youth in the 1950s. A shooting star who streaked from a small Midwest town to fame in the Hollywood Hills, he left a brief career behind with starring roles in only three movies: Rebel Without a Cause, Giant and East of Eden. But those were enough to immortalize Dean and make him one of the most recognizable faces in entertainment history. The day he hopped into his Porsche Spyder convertible to speed off to a car race was the last day of James Dean’s short life. He was 24 years old
