James Dean: Snapshot

Like my post about Marilyn Monroe, here is another person whose most recognized accomplishments ususally fall outside the temporal scope of this blog.  Yes folks, this bespectacled, reserved young lad is none other than the Rebel Without A Cause, James Dean.  Retronaut posted this and other photos of Dean in 1949 from a photo booth.
