James Dean

This biography of James Dean, written with the help of access to his own writings, and interviews with acquaintances, tells of his fascination with reckless speed, wide-ranging sexual experiences and obsession with bullfighting, and the development of his short-lived acting career. It offers an account of the reckless young star, riding dangerous motorcycles, having affairs with Ursula Andress and Barbara Hutton, and towards the end of his life becoming increasingly obsessed with dreams - especially when his mother appeared to him.
