'''James Byron Dean''' ([[February 8]] [[1931]] – [[September 30]] [[1955]]) was a two-time [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-nominated [[United States|American]] [[film]] [[actor]]. Dean's status as a [[cultural icon]] is best embodied in the title of his most celebrated film, ''[[Rebel Without a Cause]]'', in which he starred as troubled high school rebel Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his star power were as the awkward loner Cal Trask in ''[[East of Eden (1955 film)|East of Eden]]'', and as the surly farmer Jett Rink in ''[[Giant (film)|Giant]]''. His enduring fame and popularity rests on only three films, his entire starring output. His death at a young age helped guarantee a legendary status. He was the first actor to receive a [[Posthumous recognition|posthumous]] [[Academy Award]] nomination for [[Academy Award for Best Actor|Best Actor]] and remains the only person to have two posthumous acting nominations (although other people had more than one posthumous nomination in other Oscar categories). | '''James Byron Dean''' ([[February 8]] [[1931]] – [[September 30]] [[1955]]) was a two-time [[Academy Award|Oscar]]-nominated [[United States|American]] [[film]] [[actor]].
