The Next James Dean

For years after the death of cult movie star James Dean, an army of actors came through Hollywood's turnstile. All wanted to be the successor to the original Rebel Without a Cause. Only a few carved out their own careers, and most fell by the wayside. This work looks cynically and humorously at the parade of young men who wanted Dean's mantle and achieved only grief. Jack Nicholson, Warren Beatty, Paul Newman, and Robert Blake started out as Dean clones. They had their own careers despite this. Others are names long forgotten and faded with time. Now you can relive their moments in the sun.
