Happy 79th Birthday, JAMES DEAN!!!
Actor James Dean was born 79 years ago, Feb. 8, 1931. No, he wasn't an author, but he did star in the film adaptation of an important John Steinbeck novel, East of Eden, he had a fabulously meteoric career, and like so many-he died young, on Sept. 30, 1955, crashing his Porsche near Pasa Robles, California. Richard Thomas made a film about that event: September 30, 1955 http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0078231/





Dean also starred on Broadway in an adaptation of Andre Gide's The Immortalist.





We miss you, James. RIP.
