For those James Dean fans out there ....

On this day in 1955, literally 55 years ago, James Dean died in a car accident at the age of 24.

This complicated young actor made three classic films, East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant.

In James Dean, Karen Clemens Warrick explores his often unguarded life, giving insight into his personality and turbulent emotions and offering explanations about what made his few film performances unforgettable.
