American actor
Born: February 8, 1931
Died: September 30, 1955
James Dean (1931–1955) was an American actor and cultural icon known for his brooding persona and roles that defined teenage rebellion. Born on February 8, 1931, in Marion, Indiana, Dean moved to California as a child but later returned to Indiana after his mother’s death. He studied drama at UCLA before moving to New York, where he honed his craft in theater and television.
Dean’s breakout role came in East of Eden (1955), followed by Rebel Without a Cause (1955), where he played the troubled teenager Jim Stark. His final film, Giant (1956), showcased his versatility alongside Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson. Tragically, Dean’s career was cut short when he died in a car accident on September 30, 1955, at the age of 24.
Despite his brief career, Dean became a lasting symbol of youthful angst. He was posthumously nominated for two Academy Awards and remains an enduring Hollywood legend.
