James Dean was an actor and an icon of rebellion, whose Hollywood star shone even brighter after his tragic death at 24. He only starred in three films, but his performances in them were so palpable in their vulnerability and intensity that he became a relatable symbol to the youth of the 1950s who were searching for their place in the world. 

A legend of America’s Golden Age, he embodied the characters he played—complex and misunderstood, but yearning to live life to the fullest. He was known for saying, "Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today," which was later engraved on the cap ring of the Montblanc Great Characters James Dean fountain pen released in 2018. Honoring his legacy, the pen features red precious resin, recalling his iconic jacket from “Rebel Without a Cause”, and a clip shaped like a gun, referencing the film “Giant”.
