James Dean: A Biography

A highly collectible 5th impression, tight clean copy, no markings througho ut; Five decades after the death of James Dean, he is still revered as a distan t myth and remains an enigma to a generation that hardly knows him. Yet it is this generation that has made him the most idolized actor of all time. W hile his film career lasted only sixteen months, it produced three cinemati c greats: East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant. John Howlett conducted extensive research and interviews with actors and di rectors who knew Dean, to produce a revealing portrait of a complex and tra gic man - the perfect embodiment of an eternal struggle who was an inspirat ion to several generations of rebels without a cause. His anguish was exqui sitely genuine on and off the screen, and his moments of joy are rare and p recious. Here is James Dean from all sides: his talent for interpreting and expressing his role as an actor, his rebellious nature, his personal frank ness, his ever-probing curiosity, his tenacious struggle for success, and h is sadness and sensitivity. Includes color photos. --This text refers to the Paperback edition.
