Filmography


Here is the very short film career of Dean.  It was only three films, but three damn good ones.  Along with the films, I've included some behind the scenes information about each film.
 

    



-Of course, James Dean did a lot more than just those three films.  Before those films he did many television specials, and he did two Broadway plays and others.

-Dean had cameo roles in films called Fixed Bayonets, Sailors Beware, and Has Anybody Seen My Gal?
