THE REASON THE WORD COOL WAS USED AS A DESCRIPTION OF CHARACTER WAS FOR THIS MAN, HE SET THE TEMPLATE FOR COOL WITH NO TAKERS BEFORE, DURING, OR SINCE. A TRUE ONE OFF.

Richard Davelos, who played Dean's brother in "East of Eden", told me so many decades ago, "... I learned more about acting just watching Jimmy's movements and facial expressions than I could have in an acting class".

An enigma in his own time, a lost reckless child who had so much more than others. I lived during these times and Dean was the beginning of unrest in America. His family inherited most of what he was and is today!

This documentary is so much more intense because it’s in black and white. Thank you! The tone is so James Dean! I can’t believe more people aren’t seeing this!

So Shakespearean, his life. He “lived fast, and died hard.” A true “Rebel Without a Cause.” R.I.P, James Dean.

This is beautiful art. Made for a beautiful being. Noir and human and bright like a diamond buried in the dirt.

I got his book by Taschen. So many years ago. Maybe from 2007 or something. He is really an exciting individual to delve onto. Truly ahead of his time.
