Though his career only lasted five years and he only appeared in three major films, East of Eden, Rebel Without a Cause, and Giant, his impact on cinema and popular culture was significant. Dean is remembered for portraying the disillusionment and social estrangement of teenagers, particularly in his role as troubled Jim Stark in Rebel Without a Cause (1955).
