Rare and extremely desirable triple-signed bank check, 6.25 x 2.75, filled out and signed by Dean, payable to James Dean for $50.00, November 20, 1953. In fine condition, with expected stamp and cancellation holes, some lightly affecting first name of signature on pay line (endorsement signature is pristine). The year of 1953 proved to be quite successful for Dean, as he appeared in 14 different roles, including November television performances in the role of ‘Joey’ in Armstrong Circle Theater’s The Bells of Cockaigne and as ‘Paul’ in the television film Harvest. In early 1954, Dean headed for Los Angeles to begin shooting East of Eden, the role that would garner him the first posthumous acting nomination in the history of the Academy Awards. Triple-signed checks from Dean are very highly coveted by collectors.
