James Byron Dean was an American film actor. Epitomizing youthful angst & charisma, Deans screen persona is probably best embodied in the title of his most representative work, Rebel without a Cause. Born on a Marion, Indiana family farm to Winton & Mildred Wilson Dean. The family moved to Santa Monica, California six years later after Winton left farming to become a dental technician. While there, Dean was enrolled in Brentwood Public School until his mother died of cancer in 1940. Then, at age nine, Deans father sent him back to live with relatives on a farm near Fairmount, Indiana where he was raised with a Quaker upbringing. In high school, Dean played on the school basketball team & participated in forensics debate & drama. After graduating from Fairmont High School in 1949, Dean moved back to California to live with his father & stepmother. While there, he enrolled in Santa Monica City College, pledged Sigma Nu fraternity & majored in pre-law. After struggling with law, against his fathers wishes, Dean changed his major to drama.
