Description

Rare signature acquired on the set of Giant

Vintage pencil signature, “James Dean,” on an off-white 2.75 x 2 slip. In very good condition, with a few creases (most noticeably to the very end of his first name), irregularly torn right edge touching very end of the signature, a few small edge tears, and brittle paper. Consignor notes that his great grandmother acquired the signature in person on the set of the acclaimed 1956 film Giant. This was Dean’s last film, as he was killed in a car accident before it was released—his performance opposite Elizabeth Taylor posthumously earned him his second and last Academy Award nomination. Pre-certified PSA/DNA and RR Auction COA.
