James Dean, the original teenage rebel, leans against a wall, smoking. Dean was the role model for generations of disaffected youth who immediately related to his portrayal of lost adolescence and emulated his wardrobe because of it. Andy Warhol called him, "the damaged but beautiful soul of our time". His status as a handsome movie star far outshone his acting talents, and in his short-lived career he made out only three films: East of Eden (1955), Rebel Without a Cause (1955) and Giant (1956). Dean said, "Being a good actor isn't easy; being a man is even harder. I want to do both before I'm done". But, tragically, he was killed at the age of twenty-four, crashing his Porsche Spyder on the way to a race meeting. He is now suspended forever in adolescence. The basics that Dean wore are still popular today as the uniform of youth: Levi's jeans, white T-shirt and zip-up bomber jacket.
