One of those great Hollywood talents who died far too young, James Dean didn't live the familiar Hollywood life we read about in magazines today. His life off camera wasn't the source of tabloid stories and entertainment news, but part of that has to do with the lack of time he had to really become a fixture of Hollywood's party scene.

Matthew Mishory's Joshua Tree, 1951: A Portrait of James Dean tells the story of how the titular icon worked his way up into the spotlight at the dawn of his career. It's a story rife with introspection and sexual orientation and it's likely not the version of James Dean many people are familiar with.
