Show Business

With only three movies to his name - Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden, Giant - James Dean cemented his legacy as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement when he died tragically at the age of 24. Sadly Dean never knew the impact of his talents when he became the first actor to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor, and remains the only actor to have had two posthumous acting nominations.
