Book Review- "James Dean-A Short Life" by Venable Herndon

If actor James Dean (Rebel Without a Cause, East of Eden, and Giant) had lived, he would have been eighty years old in 2011. It is hard to imagine James Dean at eighty. Can one still be a "Rebel Without a Cause" at eighty years old?

Because he was so talented, it is likely that Dean would have adapted himself to changing times and getting older, but we will never know because he was killed in a car wreck in 1955 at the age of 24.

"James Dean- A Short Life" by Venable Herndon is a pretty good biography of those 24 years.
