Book Synopsis James Dean: the Biography by : Val Holley
Download or read book James Dean: the Biography written by Val Holley and published by . This book was released on 2016-09-05 with total page 302 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "What's important about Jimmy is that in spite of his short life, he had really lived-and with his beauty, he acted in ways that other actors only dream about." - Terese Hayden, producer, Camino Real Killed in a car crash at only 24, James Dean has become a tragic legend. Compared to a Marlon Brando, Dean rose to fame in the film East of Eden, based on the novel by John Steinbeck. American teenagers particularly related to Dean through his role in Rebel Without a Cause, where he portrayed an emotionally confused teen. This is the most comprehensive biography of James Dean ever written, based upon over one hundred interviews with people who have never before spoken on record. Val Holley delves into Dean's early life and training on stage and in television using research that is astounding in its detail and frequently lets his sources speak in their own voices. Praise for James Dean: The Biography: "Val Holley allows James Dean to be as wily, controlling, beautiful, seductive, sexually ambivalent, and actory as he apparently was. It's like suddenly having the gift of a fourth, posthumous movie to slip on the shelf." - Brad Gooch, author of City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O'Hara "I was drawn in by its legwork and detail, surprising interviews, sweet reasoning, and vivid characterization. This immortal of the screen stacks up as an American enigma." - Patrick McGilligan, author of George Cukor: A Double Life, "Val Holley's James Dean is obviously a labor of love, and very thorough." - Washington Post Book World "The most definitive biography yet written ... quite interesting without being sensational." - Booklist "Holley has produced a meticulously documented work that dissects Dean's personality as never before." - Publishers Weekly "Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this is a worthy addition to the growing body of literature surrounding an actor whose life achieved mythic proportions as a result of his untimely death." - Library Journal "The freshest, most revealing, and probably the most truthful account of [Dean] I have ever read." - Alexander Walker, author of Vivien: The Life of Vivien Leigh Val Holley has written numerous articles on James Dean and H. L. Mencken. He lives in Washington, D.C. James Dean was his first full biography.
Download or read book Real James Dean written by Peter Winkler and published by Chicago Review Press. This book was released on 2016-08-01 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In the decades following his death, many of those who knew James Dean best––actors, directors, friends, lovers (both men and women), photographers, and Hollywood columnists––shared stories of their first-person experiences with him in interviews and in the articles and autobiographies they wrote. Their recollections of Dean became lost in fragile back issues of movie magazines and newspapers and in out-of-print books that are extremely hard to find. Until now. The Real James Dean is the first book of its kind: a rich collection spanning six decades of writing in which many of the people whose lives were touched by Dean recall their indelible experiences with him in their own words. Here are the memorable personal accounts of Dean from his high school and college drama teachers; the girl he almost married; costars like Rock Hudson, Natalie Wood, Jim Backus, and Raymond Massey; directors Elia Kazan, Nicholas Ray, and George Stevens; entertainer Eartha Kitt; gossip queen Hedda Hopper; the passenger who accompanied Dean on his final, fatal road trip; and a host of his other friends and colleagues.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: James DeanJames Dean is known as the first rebel. He was a '50s-styled, leather-clad biker rebuking authority. With his black turtleneck and a penchant for bongo drums and poetry, he could also easily be a kind of forerunner to the beatniks. And with his unkempt, wild hair and far-reaching philosophies, he is often cited as a kind of early hippie as well. But whatever category you put him in, James Dean was the embodiment of cool. He had a cool look, cool clothes, cool attitude, and a cool backstory that most know nothing about. James Dean began life in Indiana as the descendant of a long line of farmers. After the tragic passing of his mother at a young age and the virtual abandonment of his father, he was left to be raised by his sister and her husband on a farm in Fairmount, Indiana. Inside you will read about...- Losing His Family - A Troubled Childhood - Dean's First Big Breaks - Friends and Lovers - Dean's Acting and Car Racing Career - The Final Ride And much more! So just how did this Indiana farm boy become a Hollywood legend and kickstart a counterculture rebellion that would last throughout the '50s, '60s, and beyond? Who was James Dean? Come along as we find out more about the man, the legend, and the eternal rebel without a cause: James Dean.

Book Synopsis The Death of James Dean by : Warren Newton Beath
Download or read book The Death of James Dean written by Warren Newton Beath and published by Grove/Atlantic, Inc.. This book was released on 2007-12-01 with total page 265 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With extensive research, this account of the Hollywood star and his legion of fans offers “the best narrative yet of Dean’s final ten hours” (San Francisco Examiner). Just before sunset on September 20, 1955, James Byron Dean’s Porsche 550 Spyder collided with Donald Gene Turnupseed’s Ford Tudor on California Highway 46. At age twenty-four, America’s newest screen idol was dead. But what really happened? Drawing on original documents, including the coroner’s inquest and other previously unpublished material, author Warren Newton Beath provides a painstakingly accurate reconstruction of Dean’s final hours and tragic death. In addition, Beath explores Dean’s life and his enduring status as a cultural icon, including Elvis Presley’s worship of him; Hitchcock’s use of Highway 46 in the famous crop-dusting scene in North by Northwest; death threats against Giant director George Stevens if he dared excise a single frame of Deans’ final performance; and many more fascinating facts about the enigmatic screen legend. Beath’s definitive account concludes with a memorable portrait of the James Dean cult, a strangely moving record of his posthumous life in the hearts of his adoring fans.

Book Synopsis Live Fast, Die Young by : Lawrence Frascella
Download or read book Live Fast, Die Young written by Lawrence Frascella and published by Simon and Schuster. This book was released on 2005-10-04 with total page 400 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When it was released in 1955, the film Rebel Without a Cause had a revolutionary impact on moviemaking and youth culture, virtually giving birth to our concept of the American teenager. For the first time, Live Fast, Die Young tells the complete story of the explosive making of Rebel, a film that has rocked every generation since its release. Set against a backdrop of the Atomic Age and an old Hollywood studio system on the verge of collapse, it vividly evokes the cataclysmic, immensely influential meeting of four of Hollywood's most passionate artists. When James Dean, Natalie Wood, Sal Mineo, and director Nicholas Ray converged, each was at a crucial point in his or her career. The young actors were grappling with fame, their burgeoning sexuality, and increasingly reckless behavior. As Ray engaged his cast in physical melees and psychosexual seductions of startling intensity, the on- and off-set relationships between his ambitious young actors ignited, sending a shock wave through the film. Through interviews with the surviving members of the cast and crew and firsthand access to both personal and studio archives, Lawrence Frascella and Al Weisel reveal Rebel's true drama -- the director's affair with sixteen-year-old Wood, his tempestuous "spiritual marriage" with Dean, and his role in awakening the latent homosexuality of Mineo, who would become the first gay teenager to appear on film. Complete with thirty photographs, including ten never-before-seen photos by famed Dean photographer Dennis Stock, Live Fast, Die Young tells the absorbing inside story of an unforgettable and absolutely essential American film -- a story that is, in many ways, as provocative as the film itself.

Roy Schatt was a well-known New York City photographer in 1954 when he approached James Dean and requested a portrait. Though he had just completed principal photography on the film "East of Eden" with Elia Kazan, James Dean was a virtual "unknown" to the general public. Dean agreed to sit for Roy under one condition. He wanted photography lessons. James Dean knew Roy had taught Elia Kazan and wanted to learn about photography and lenses himself so he could be a director someday. Roy agreed and this is their story. As part of Dean's education, Roy convinces Jimmy to enter a portrait contest in the Bohemian West Village of New York City. What ensues is an intimate gallery of a James Dean's closest friends including 4 academy award winners photographed by James Dean himself. Martin Landau notations and memories make this a historic look at a classic American Archive.
