Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Though he appeared in only six films, James Dean remains a cultural icon some 30 years after his death in an accident at the age of 24. His death is especially tragic because of his tremendous unrealised potential: he was posthumously nominated for two Academy Awards for his work in "East of Eden" (1955) and "Giant" (1956). But in his short career, Dean never had the opportunity to fail. Some of his colleagues thought little of his talent, and Humphrey Bogart concluded that if Dean had not died, he would never have been able to live up to his publicity. This comprehensive guide synthesises the tremendous amount of information available about Dean's life and legacy. Included are chapters on his work in stage, film, radio and television; entries in each chapter provide production information, plot synopses, review excerpts, and critical commentary about each of his performances. The book also examines his unrealised projects and his survival in various tributes and recordings. An extensive annotated bibliography directs the reader to sources of additional information about Dean's fascinating hold on the American imagination. This book provides full production information, plot synopses, review excerpts, and critical commentary for Dean's roles in Fixed Bayonets (1951), Sailor Beware (1951), Has Anybody Seen My Gal? (1952), East of Eden (1955), Rebel Without a Cause (1955), and Giant (1956). Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
