James Byron Dean, A legend in his own time and in ours. Whether you know his name, know who he is or have only heard about him once in your life, he has a place in everyone's mind. He was a very talented young man who wasn't given enough time to show all of his talent. He appeared in three movies, East of Eden (1955), Rebel Without a Cause (1955), and Giant (1956). One bad relationship in his life burdened him, The one with his father. He had a good relationship with the one true love he had. His mother. She died when he was just a young child, the age of nine. He may have had the stardom and money that he wanted but I'm sure he just wanted more time to show the world exactly how much talent he had. He had a lot more talent to give.
