You can have Robert Pattinson.
You can have James Franco.
You can have Justin Bieber.
They will NEVER be James Dean.
Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.
Only the gentle are ever really strong.
I'm a serious minded and intense little devil—terribly gauche and so tense that I don't see how people can stay in the same room as me. I know I couldn't tolerate myself.
Eternity?...That is one hell of a movie.
I try so hard to make people reject me. Why?
My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.
I think the prime reason for living in this world is discovery.
The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.
I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.
I’m not going to go through life with one arm tied behind my back. I'm playing the damn bongos and the world can go to hell.
If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

He sure is a classic. Even after all these years, he is a handsome gentleman. I was hoping for another babysitting story today..but James Dean works too ;)
What a legend, despite being taken so young. Great post ... but let's not say Justin Beiber in the same breath as James Dean ever again :)

Wow. Great post about a Hollywood legend. I often wonder what would have happened to him had he not died in that car crash... Hard to imagine an older James Dean for some reason. I have heard many stories about him but always loved to hear about his special friendship with Elizabeth Taylor. There are some amazing pics of the two of them together out there. You made my day with this selection, though. Great job, Jenny. Veronique
I adore him. Always so cool.

no, no they won't.
He's the only alfa.
he is the original cool.
Such an icon

He is unreplicated. In every way.
I don't know who he is, but judging from his quotes and his pics, he's quite hot!
Nice post. He was huge during my youth even though he had died a few years earlier. His legend survived for the reasons you give.
He sure was a great man. I first knew him when I read about the life of Elizabeth Taylor. They did have a true love.
Awesome post!
Love these pics!

HOT.
handsome man he is!
jos xx
his cool factor is just so far off the charts. does anyone compare?
Another one of your brilliant posts Jenn... I always walk away learning a little more... Love you for that!
Have a smashing November girl!
x.o.x.o
James Dean is definitely the ultimate heart throb. Love him!
LOL @ Gayatri.
You know, I've never paid too much attention to him? He's always been off my radar for some reason...but now I've got my interest piqued.
You know who I'm a huge fan of? Humphrey Bogart. Love him.
Really great quotes!
You can't beat James Dean. The actors of today don't even come close. Loved all those quotes by the way (so very true). There is a huge difference between merely being an actor and an iconic legend.
He reminds me a lot of myself.
i think you are right.
James Dean was supremely cool Jennifer!!! He will be forever young. A great actor! I love classic movies and enjoyed watching him play in various roles. Thanks for spotlighting him. :D

Gorgeous, smart, funny, compassionate, clever, curious and with a fabulous, intelligent and self depricating sense of humour... there is nothing sexier than that.

like marilyn... frozen in time for ever!

he was the epitome of cool - however, I don't think I have seen more than one film with him in.
Can't believe it, I've read so much about him but never seen any movies!
I did read your horror films post, that was cool! Have to check them out sometime!
