Best Answer

James Dean was an actor. He made 3 movies before his death. East of Eden, Rebel without a Cause and Giant.He had bit parts in a few other movies but he wasnt credited with those.

He was born in Marion, California In February 1931. He lived in Fairmount until he was 5 when his dad got transferred to Santa Monica. They lived there until Jimmie was 9 when his mom died of cancer. He returned to live in Fairmount with his Aunt and Uncle until he was 18 and then moved back to live with his dad to pursue acting and to attend college.

He is not related to the sausage king/country singer Jimmy Dean.

There are several good books about him The Mutant King by David Dalton is one and Jimmy and Dizzy by Elizabeth Sheridan is another one.
