December 04, 1952
THE NEW YORK TIMES, December 4, 1952  This is a significant issue for any James Dean or Hollywood collector, as this is the very first mention of him in the prestigious New York Times.

The small mention appears on page 46 under the headlines:

"AT THE THEATRE"
"Arthur Kennedy Heads the Cast in Richard Nash's Symbolic Western Drama, 'See the Jaguar'
"

See photos for more text information. James Dean is listed under "The Cast" playing a character named "Wally Wilkins" (see images).

A very small and discrete mention him but of very significant being the first appearance of James Dean in the pages of this famous newspaper
