DS, one page, 8.5 x 11, July 25, 1955. Document submitted to Warner Bros. Pictures requesting a change in address for his paychecks, in part: “I previously gave you authorization and you were kind enough to arrange for my checks to be mailed to my agent, Jane Deacy Agency…New York. I wish to cancel this previous authorization…You will please accept this as my authorization and request to mail all future checks payable to me to my business managers at the following address: James Dean, c/o Coulter and Gray, 430 North Rodeo Drive, Beverly Hills, California.” Signed at the conclusion in blue ballpoint. In fine condition, with several intersecting folds. Jane Deacy became Dean’s agent while he was still in New York and she recognized his talent right away. It was largely her persistence in helping him find roles that enabled his breakthrough in Hollywood. By this point in time Dean was working on Giant, which would be his final film; Deacy would soon arrive in Hollywood to negotiate a contract with Warner Bros., resulting in a $900,000, nine-movie deal. Dean tragically died in an automobile accident in September, his promise unfulfilled. A highly desirable document pertinent to the legend’s career. Pre-certified PSA/DNA.
