“What’s important about Jimmy is that in spite of his short life, he had really lived-and with his beauty, he acted in ways that other actors only dream about.” — Terese Hayden, producer, Camino Real
Killed in a car crash at only 24, James Dean has become a tragic legend.
Compared to a Marlon Brando, Dean rose to fame in the film East of Eden, based on the novel by John Steinbeck.
American teenagers particularly related to Dean through his role in Rebel Without a Cause, where he portrayed an emotionally confused teen.
This is the most comprehensive biography of James Dean ever written, based upon over one hundred interviews with people who have never before spoken on record.
Val Holley delves into Dean’s early life and training on stage and in television using research that is astounding in its detail and frequently lets his sources speak in their own voices.
Praise for James Dean: The Biography:
“Val Holley allows James Dean to be as wily, controlling, beautiful, seductive, sexually ambivalent, and actory as he apparently was. It’s like suddenly having the gift of a fourth, posthumous movie to slip on the shelf.” — Brad Gooch, author of City Poet: The Life and Times of Frank O’Hara
“I was drawn in by its legwork and detail, surprising interviews, sweet reasoning, and vivid characterization. This immortal of the screen stacks up as an American enigma.” — Patrick McGilligan, author of George Cukor: A Double Life,
“Val Holley’s James Dean is obviously a labor of love, and very thorough.” — Washington Post Book World
“The most definitive biography yet written … quite interesting without being sensational.” — Booklist
“Holley has produced a meticulously documented work that dissects Dean’s personality as never before.” — Publishers Weekly
“Thoroughly researched and engagingly written, this is a worthy addition to the growing body of literature surrounding an actor whose life achieved mythic proportions as a result of his untimely death.” — Library Journal
“The freshest, most revealing, and probably the most truthful account of [Dean] I have ever read.” — Alexander Walker, author of Vivien: The Life of Vivien Leigh
Val Holley has written numerous articles on James Dean and H. L. Mencken. He lives in Washington, D.C. James Dean was his first full biography.

Información sobre el derecho de desistimiento
Derecho legal de desistimiento
Tiene derecho a rescindir este contrato en un plazo de 14 días sin dar ningún motivo.
El periodo de desistimiento vencerá a los 14 días desde que usted, o un tercero que no sea el transportista e indicado por usted, adquiera la posesión física del último bien o del último lote o pieza.
Para ejercer el derecho de desistimiento, complete de forma electrónica y envíe una declaración clara en nuestro sitio web, desde "Mis compras" en "Mi cuenta". Le enviaremos sin demora un acuse de recibo de dicho desistimiento a través de un soporte duradero (por ejemplo, por correo electrónico).
Para cumplir con el plazo de desistimiento, basta con que envíe su comunicación relativa al ejercicio del derecho de desistimiento antes de que venza el periodo de desistimiento.
Efectos del desistimiento
Si rescinde este contrato, le reembolsaremos todos los pagos que hayamos recibido de usted, incluidos los gastos de envío (excepto los gastos adicionales que surjan si elige un tipo de envío que no sea el tipo de envío estándar más económico que ofrecemos).
Podemos hacer una deducción del reembolso por la pérdida de valor de cualquier bien suministrado, si la pérdida es el resultado de una manipulación innecesaria por su parte.
Efectuaremos el reembolso sin demoras indebidas y, a más tardar, 14 días después de que se nos informe de su decisión de rescindir este contrato.
Efectuaremos el reembolso utilizando el mismo medio de pago que utilizó para la transacción inicial, a menos que haya acordado expresamente lo contrario; en cualquier caso, no incurrirá en ningún cargo como resultado de dicho reembolso.
Podremos retener el reembolso hasta que hayamos recibido los bienes o hasta que nos haya presentado una prueba de que los ha devuelto, lo que ocurra primero.
