The face of a generation: Sell James Dean memorabilia with RR

Why sell James Dean memorabilia? The American Film Institute ranked James Dean the 18th best male movie star of Golden Age Hollywood. Remembered as a cultural icon of teenage disillusionment and social estrangement, as expressed in the title of his most celebrated film, “Rebel Without a Cause” (1955), Dean made his indelible mark portraying troubled teenagers – Jim Stark in that film, Cal Trask in “East of Eden” (1955) and surly ranch hand Jett Rink in “Giant” (1956).
