He died at twenty-four on a California highway, when he was Hollywood's emerging superstar, the embodiment of youthful rebellion, purity, alienation, complete with faded jeans, slouching stance, angelic face. With his death, the change from man to myth, from star to saint began--and in the years that have passed, his cult has only grown.Now at last a biography, illustrated throughout with 67 revealing photographs, tells the whole story of James Dean--the story that the studios he made countless millions for desperately wanted to cover up. It is the story of the all-American Indiana farm boy who was anything but. The story of the parts he fought for and the films he made. The story of the men as well as the women in his life. It is the finest, fairest, and most unflinching close-up we have of the figure who still haunts our dreams.
