James Dean made seven films, his most well-known being East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant. A star almost immediately after his first big role, Dean was the prototypical Angry Young Man whose dramatic intensity fired up a generation of film-goers. His untimely death, in a high-speed car crash guaranteed his tragic American cinema legend status. Fifty years after his death, the demand for James Dean memorabilia continues to exceed its availability. World-class glossy 8 x 10 three-quarter profile portrait of the unparalleled young actor in all his intensity, wearing attire very reminiscent of that in Rebel without a Cause, signed and neatly inscribed in black ballpoint, “To Donna with my best wishes, James Dean.” In remarkably pristine condition, with one mild corner bend and a tiny crease in the lower margin. Wow! PSA/DNA COA and R&R COA.
