American actor (1931–1955) best known for his star turns in three 1950s screen classics: East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant. His untimely death in a high-speed car crash elevated him to the status of Hollywood legend. Sensational vintage ink signature and inscription, “To Jack, with best wishes, James Dean,” on an off-white 5 x 3.25 slip. In fine condition, with trimmed edges, crease to lower right corner, last few letters of signature a shade or two light, and some mild toning to edges. More than half a century after his death, demand for any authentic Dean material far exceeds the availability. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
