James Dean by Hourly History has a lot of information on him I didn't know. I won't spoil it by telling you but if something was done early enough, maybe he would have been a calmer and happier person. If his dad had kept him in California maybe...sad he lived feeling he had to give himself to others to climb the ladder. A must read book. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe

James Dean James Dean is known as the first rebel. He was a '50s-styled, leather-clad biker rebuking authority. With his black turtleneck and a penchant for bongo drums and poetry, he could also easily be a kind of forerunner to the beatniks. And with his unkempt, wild hair and far-reaching philosophies, he is often cited as a kind of early hippie as well. But whatever category you put him in, James Dean was the embodiment of cool. He had a cool look, cool clothes, cool attitude, and a cool backstory that most know nothing about. James Dean began life in Indiana as the descendant of a long line of farmers. After the tragic passing of his mother at a young age and the virtual abandonment of his father, he was left to be raised by his sister and her husband on a farm in Fairmount, Indiana. Inside you will read about... - Losing His Family- A Troubled Childhood- Dean's First Big Breaks- Friends and Lovers- Dean's Acting and Car Racing Career- The Final RideAnd much more!So just how did this Indiana farm boy become a Hollywood legend and kickstart a counterculture rebellion that would last throughout the '50s, '60s, and beyond? Who was James Dean? Come along as we find out more about the man, the legend, and the eternal rebel without a cause: James Dean. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

I knew going in that this would not be an in depth history--I've read other Hourly History books and I know they touch on the major points but don't always delve into much detail. For me, what was given here was just enough. I enjoyed learning about James Dean but I didn't want a 300 page biography. ( )
