Book Description/Synopsis
2005 saw the anniversary of the death of the legend that was James Dean. Dean was one of the icons of his time - a group that include Elvis Presley, Marilyn Monroe and Buddy Holly, all whose lives were tragically and cruelly cut short. James Dean was the archetypal screen icon who lived fast and died young.
This official account is a detailed, chronological biography of Dean, fully illustrated with colour and black and white images from classic movies, family archives and private collections. Scattered throughout the book are special, self-contained feature pages that explore aspects of his life and times: his passion for cars, his films, America in the 1950's, and the famous black and white Dennis Stock photographs.
