Dennis Stock James Dean. Fairmount, Indiana, USA. 1955.
“This photo of James Dean was taken when the actor returned to the town where he spent his youth, and visited his old high school. Dean had just finished
(...) filming East of Eden, though the movie had not yet been released. His anonymity was only to last a few more weeks after this image was made because when the movie came out he became an overnight sensation. This photograph captures the last days of James Dean as the brooding kid from a farm in Fairmont, Indiana.”
