American actor (1931–1955) best known for his star turns in three 1950s screen classics: East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant. His untimely death in a high-speed car crash elevated him to the status of Hollywood legend. One-of-a-kind vintage fountain pen signature, “James Dean, Jett Rink—1955,” on an off-white 3.75 x 1.5 slip originally removed from a Giant paperback book which had been signed by Dean and many of his Giant co-stars. Double cloth-matted with an impressive oversized matte-finish photo to an overall size of 37.25 x 28. In fine condition. Originally obtained at a hotel in Marfa, Texas, this signature was one of the last he signed, as Dean was killed before filming was even complete on Giant. And while Dean is rare in any form, this signature—adding the character name from his last film, and eerily, the year of his death—is particularly desirable! Oversized.
