Tragic Details About James Dean

James Dean took hold of America in a way most heartthrob wannabes only dreamed about. Little did everyone know how real his struggle was; it was only after he died that America, and the world, really embraced Dean's hard work. This is the tragic real-life story of James Dean.

James Dean was born in Marion, Indiana in 1931 to Mildred and Winton Dean. Winton was a dental technician, a job he found rather dull. When James was about 3, the family moved south to Fairmont, where Winton decided to take up bullfrog farming, according to biographer David Dalton. But the farm failed, and the Deans returned to Marion before deciding on their next adventure by relocating to Santa Monica, California.

In 1938, though, Mildred Dean was diagnosed with cancer, passing away two years later. At age 9, James found himself riding a train back to Marion with his mother's coffin.

Being back among family gave James time to work through his grief and resume his childhood, working on a family farm. He also attended high school, pursuing sports and drama classes, graduating in 1949.
