James Dean died in 1955. The star of three movies, he was aged just 24. Six decades later, the charismatic screen idol has lost none of his power to captivate. Revered by fresh generations of fans born years after his untimely death, the glamor of his limited but incandescent legacy of cinematic classics - East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause and Giant - will never fade. Drawn from extensive research and original interviews, James Dean: Rebel Life strips back the hype to reveal the man behind the myth. Filled with the testimonies of the actors, directors and ex-lovers who knew Dean best, and lavishly illustrated with candid photos (from boyhood up to Dean's untimely death) and sumptuous film stills, the book provides a uniquely personal insight into the life and times of Hollywood's tragic leading man - essential reading for fans of every generation.

Paperback. Etat : new. Paperback. James Dean died in 1955 at the age of 24. Six decades later, he is still revered as a distant myth, puzzled over by a generation that hardly knows him. His film career lasted only sixteen months, but it produced three cinematic greats: East Of Eden, Rebel Without A Cause and Giant. The titles alone evoke epic visions, and all three films live up to their promise, constituting a three-part heroic poem on atomic age youth, its beauties and its frustrations.Dean's public image was carefully constructed and maintained by the Warner Brothers studio through much publicised dates with Hollywood actresses. Recently however, revelations about Dean's sex life that he was a promiscuous homosexual who slept with many other actors and casting directors have flown in the face of his traditional image, and revealed a side of Dean that was shocking to many who saw him as a clean-cut, if rebellious, American hero. The opening of the Warner Brothers archive containing letters and other documents surrounding Dean's original casting and the making of his films have also provided an insight into his behaviour and revealed the real opinions of those who worked with him. John Howlett has interviewed many actors, lovers and girlfriends who knew Dean in New York and Hollywood and has incorporated significant new material. In this biography he brings to light graphic details of James Dean's private life, reassessing the legacy of one of the greatest icons of the twentieth century.
