This James Dean Limited Edition Rubber Duckie is an extremely well detailed and artfully decorated; it measures approximately 6X5X4 and individually gift boxed. James Byron Dean was an American film actor whose status as a cultural icon is best embodied in the title of his most celebrated film, Rebel Without a Cause, in which he starred as troubled high school rebel Jim Stark. The other two roles that defined his star power were as the awkward loner Cal Trask in East of Eden, and as the surly, racist farmer Jett Rink in Giant. His enduring fame and popularity rests on only three films, his entire starring output. He was the first person to receive a posthumous Academy Award nomination for Best Actor and remains the only person to have two such nominations posthumously. Not bad for a guy who started his professional acting career with a Pepsi Cola television commercial, followed by a stint as a stunt tester for the Beat the Clock game show. Please note this item is not a bobblehead, wobbler or head knocker. |
