James Dean

James Byron Dean was born in Marion, Indiana. His enduring fame and popularity rests on only three films, his entire starring output. His death at a young age helped guarantee a legendary status. He is the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and is the only person to hold two posthumous acting nominations. 

"I'm James Dean and I'm so hot!" *pours glass of Jack Daniels alone*

While working on his movie "Rebel Without A Cause", Dean bought a Porsche 550 Spyders for racing and was forbidden to race during the movie "Giant". It was named "Little Bastard" by Bill Hickman, his language coach on "Giant". Dean was introduced to Obi- Wan Kenobi (or Sir Alec Guinness) at a restaurant who stated when he saw the "Little Bastard": "Cheerio! I say, lad, if you get in that car, you will be found dead in it by this time next week! Egad! It's tea time! Oh time to meet the Queen! That's no moon!" [criterion needed]

And he actually did die. 

Note to self: Always listen to Obi-Wan 

 His three movies include:

• East Of Eden (1955): Played Cal Trask, an awkward, lonely, angry man living in California during World War I. 
• Rebel Without A Cause (1955): Played Jim Stark, an awkward, lonely, angry man living in California during the 1950s. 
• Giant (1956): Played Jett Rink, an awkward, lonely, angry handyman living in Texas before and after World War II. 

 

"Yeah, Tom, I really had to stretch my acting abilities for this movie"...
