JAMES DEAN GAY ICON ACTOR Vintage USPS STAMP PAGE United States Postal Service

THIS is a JAMES DEAN Vintage USPS STAMP PAGE United States Postal Service James Byron Dean (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955) was an American actor with a career that lasted five years. LEGENDS OF HOLLYWOOD In a brief but brilliant career, the actor James Dean (1931-1955) spoke for millions of American teenagers as the misunderstood youth in East of Eden and Rebel Without a Cause. His stature grew mythic after he died in a car crash, shortly before his final film, Giant, was completed. His roles typified teenage disillusionment and social estrangement of his time. He had several uncredited roles from 1951 to 1953 before starring as a rebellious son attempting to win his father’s approval in East of Eden (1955). In Rebel Without a Cause (1955), he portrayed a teenager struggling to make sense of his emotions, who feels frustrated with his family and social life. His last lead role was playing a Texan rancher who discovered oil and became rich, in Giant (1956). Dean died in a car crash in 1955. He became the only actor to receive two posthumous Academy Award acting nominations, being nominated in the Best Actor category for East of Eden and Giant. In 1999, the American Film Institute ranked him the 18th best male movie star of Golden Age Hollywood in the AFI’s 100 Years…100 Stars list. Dean’s film roles, fashion, and manners became celebrated in popular culture and influenced the development of rock and roll in the 1950s and 1960s. Dean is often considered a sexual icon because of his perceived experimental take on life, which included his ambivalent sexuality. The Gay Times Readers’ Awards cited him as the greatest male gay icon of all time. When questioned about his sexual orientation, Dean is reported to have said, “No, I am not a homosexual. But I’m also not going to go through life with one hand tied behind my back.” Journalist Joe Hyams suggests that any gay activity Dean might have been involved in appears to have been strictly “for trade”, as a means of advancing his career. Some point to Dean’s involvement with Rogers Brackett as evidence of this. William Bast referred to Dean as Brackett’s “kept boy” and once found a grotesque depiction of a lizard with the head of Brackett in a sketchbook belonging to Dean.[ Brackett was quoted saying about their relationship, “My primary interest in Jimmy was as an actor—his talent was so obvious. Secondarily, I loved him, and Jimmy loved me. If it was a father-son relationship, it was also somewhat incestuous.”[ James Bellah, the son of American Western author James Warner Bellah, was a friend of Dean’s at UCLA, and later stated, “Dean was a user. I don’t think he was homosexual. But if he could get something by performing an act … Once … at an agent’s office, Dean told me that he had spent the summer as a ‘professional house guest’ on Fire Island.” Mark Rydell also stated, “I don’t think he was essentially homosexual. I think that he had very big appetites, and I think he exercised them.” However, the “trade only” notion is contradicted by several Dean biographers.[ Aside from Bast’s account of his own relationship with Dean, Dean’s fellow motorcyclist and “Night Watch” member, John Gilmore, claimed that he and Dean “experimented” with gay sex on multiple occasions in New York, describing their sexual encounters as “Bad boys playing bad boys while opening up the bisexual sides of ourselves.” Gilmore later stated that he believed Dean was more gay than bisexual. On the subject of Dean’s sexuality, Rebel director Nicholas Ray is on record saying, “James Dean was not straight, he was not gay, he was bisexual. That seems to confuse people, or they just ignore the facts. Some—most—will say he was heterosexual, and there’s some proof for that, apart from the usual dating of actresses his age. Others will say no, he was gay, and there’s some proof for that too, keeping in mind that it’s always tougher to get that kind of proof. But Jimmy himself said more than once that he swung both ways, so why all the mystery or confusion?” Martin Landau, a good friend of Dean’s whom he met at the Actors Studio, stated, “A lot of people say Jimmy was hell-bent on killing himself. Not true. A lot of gay guys make him out to be gay. Not true. When Jimmy and I were together we’d talk about girls. Actors and girls. We were kids in our early 20s. That was what we aspired to.” Elizabeth Taylor, with whom Dean had become friends with while working together on Giant, referred to Dean as gay along with Montgomery Clift and Rock Hudson during a speech at the GLAAD Media Awards in 2000. When questioned about Dean’s sexuality by the openly gay journalist Kevin Sessums for POZ magazine, Taylor responded, “He hadn’t made up his mind. He was only 24 when he died. But he was certainly fascinated by women. He flirted around. He and I … twinkled. ITEM IN VERY GOOD CONDITION. Please see pics MULTIPLE PURCHASES PAY ONLY ONE MAILING FEE
