James Dean & Hollywood Sign

James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955) was an American actor. He is a cultural icon of the United States and a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause (1955), in which he starred as troubled teenager Jim Stark.

This James Dean Photo was taken at the Griffith Observatory in LA which is located on the south facing slope of Mount Hollywood, overlooking the Los Angeles basin.

James Dean was killed in a car crash in the 1960s. The movie actor crashed his new Porsche 550 Spyder while en-route to the weekend sports car races at Salinas in which he was due to participate.

The "Hollywood" sign in the Hollywood Hills can be seen in the background of this photograph.
