About this photo
GIANT 1956 - James Dean in the Texas plains near Marfa
This iconic photograph captures James Dean during the filming of *Giant* in the vast expanses of Marfa, Texas. George Stevens was directing what would become the rebellious actor’s final completed film, shot six months before his tragic death in September 1955. In an ironic twist of fate, Dean played Jett Rink, a Texas laborer who strikes oil and builds an empire over the course of three decades.
With a massive budget of $5.4 million, *Giant* grossed over $12 million at the box office and earned George Stevens the Oscar for Best Director in 1957. The film also markedDennis Hopper’s film debut and cemented James Dean’s status as a posthumous Hollywood legend, alongside Elizabeth Taylor and Rock Hudson.
An eternal gaze frozen in the vastness of Texas, a silent witness to the final masterpiece of Hollywood’s shooting star.
