LIFE James Dean: A Rebel's Life in Pictures

The story of a star forever young and rebellious

James Dean’s story ended more than 60 years ago—and yet, through his iconic work in Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden, and Giant, he remains a vital part of pop culture today. Remember him with LIFE James Dean, featuring dozens of glowing photos from the archives of LIFE magazine and authoritative text exploring Dean’s biography and career. The complete James Dean is here: his tormented childhood in Indiana, his studies at the Actors Studio, and his friendships and relationships with Marlon Brando, Elizabeth Taylor, Natalie Wood, and other Hollywood icons, as well as his fascination with fast cars and his brief but spectacular filmography. An exclusive introduction by the late actor Martin Landau, a close friend, sheds new light on the start of the rebel’s career and the aftermath of his death.
