Reviews"[A] corrective to fans, and crazies, who have done so much to keep Dean's flame alive and shape his image since he died." --Critics at Large, " The Real James Dean by Peter L. Winkler is a fascinating read with each essay offering a unique reflection from one of Dean's contemporaries. It's much more approachable than a full in-depth biography." --Out of the Past, "The book reveals an individual of complexity, admired by some and despised by others, but always fascinating. ... It's a must read for anyone interested in James Dean and Hollywood." --Twenty Four Frames, "Editor Peter L. Winkler ... provides cogent commentary on the validity of the various stories presented here." --Edge Media Network, "The book reveals an individual of complexity, admired by some and despised by others, but always fascinating. ... It's a must read for anyone interested in James Dean and Hollywood." --Twenty Four Frames, " The Real James Dean by Peter L. Winkler is a fascinating read with each essay offering a unique reflection from one of Dean's contemporaries. It's much more approachable than a full in-depth biography." --Out of the Past

SynopsisIn the decades following his death, many of those who knew James Dean best--actors, directors, friends, lovers (both men and women), photographers, and Hollywood columnists--shared stories of their first-person experiences with him in interviews and in the articles and autobiographies they wrote. Their recollections of Dean became lost in fragile back issues of movie magazines and newspapers and in out-of-print books that are extremely hard to find. Until now. The Real James Dean is the first book of its kind: a rich collection spanning six decades of writing in which many of the people whose lives were touched by Dean recall their indelible experiences with him in their own words. Here are the memorable personal accounts of Dean from his high school and college drama teachers; the girl he almost married; costars like Rock Hudson, Natalie Wood, Jim Backus, and Raymond Massey; directors Elia Kazan, Nicholas Ray, and George Stevens; entertainer Eartha Kitt; gossip queen Hedda Hopper; the passenger who accompanied Dean on his final, fatal road trip; and a host of his other friends and colleagues who recorded their impressions of him for posterity., In the decades following his death, many of those who knew James Dean best--actors, directors, friends, lovers (both men and women), photographers, and Hollywood columnists--shared stories of their first-person experiences with him in interviews and in the articles and autobiographies they wrote.

Muy interesante con documentos de la época
Es un libro que tiene narraciones de personas que conocieron personalmente a James Dean y esta condición, a pesar de lo contradictorio de algunos testimonios entre sí, aleja de las mitologías que se han tejido en biografías realizadas por autores que han buscado más el escándalo y la ventas que la veracidad de los hechos en la vida del actor.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu
