Book Presentation:
Based on meticulous research and new interviews with dozens of family members, friends, lovers, directors, and costars, Rebel offers a revelatory look at actor and film icon James Dean (1931-1955). From the dusty roads of rural Indiana to Manhattan's gay culture , from Broadway to Burbank, here is Dean's troubled life: the tragic death of his mother when he was nine; his tumultous relationship with his father; his rise to stardom in New York and Hollywood and his on-and off-screen exploits.

Press Reviews:
The most detailed biography of Dean to date. ― Kirkus Reviews

Straightforward and unsentimental, Rebel is perceptive and original. It has the ring of truth. ― The Washington Post

Scrupulously fair....Rebel restores a balance to the negative portrayals of Dean that have appreared over the years. ― The New York Times

A well-written, superbly researched biography that brings to the fog that has enveloped the Dean mystique. ― The Boston Globe
