Book ‘em James
George
Perry, renowned celebrity biographer and former film editor,
has put the original "Rebel Without a Cause" under
the microscope for his new book "James Dean," Published by DK
Publishing. This is the official book of the James Dean 50th anniversary celebration
and the only book written with full authorization and assistance from the James
Dean estate. DK Publishing will release the introspective masterpiece "James
Dean" on
May 16, 2005.
"James Dean" investigates all facets of the man who gave definition
to the word "cool." The book looks at everything from his upbringing
in the Quaker community of Fairmount, Indiana to his tragic death on September
30, 1955 and the effects his departure had on the world. There is even an in-depth
commentary from some of Dean's closest friends and family, including Marcus
Winslow, Dean's cousin and the executor to his estate, and William Bast,
Dean's best friend and roommate.
Another exclusive feature of "James Dean" is the never-before-published
letters from James Dean to his family. In his sincere and revealing letters,
the charismatic star divulges his goals, fears and innermost thoughts to those
that were closest to him. The book also includes an all-inclusive timeline
of Dean's life and career, a complete run-down of his stage and television
performances and a comprehensive filmography.
"James Dean" is the ultimate guide to the life and work of Dean. Due
for release May 16, 2005, the book will inform and delight all that thumb
through its knowledge encrusted pages. Avid and novice fans alike will relish
in this
profoundly comprehensive and candid portrait of the making of an American
icon.
