Description

James Dean on "Rebel" Set, Displaying his Finger If any shot ever captured the humor and irreverence of James Dean, it's this one of Dean on the police station set of Rebel Without a Cause, relaxed between scenes, sporting his glasses, and giving the camera man his middle digit while offering an Ain't-I-Innocent grin. Dean flashed his finger in 1955, figuring nobody outside the studio circle would ever see the picture. Now, 51 years after his death, this fascinating picture of Jimmy is the main attraction in a once-in-a-lifetime lot.
