Like a bomb?") starring James Dean ("The star sensation of 'East of Eden'!"), Natalie Wood (nominated for the Best Supporting Actress Academy Award for this film), Sal Mineo (nominated for the Best Supporting Actor Academy Award for this film), Jim Backus, Edward Platt, Dennis Hopper (in a bit part as one of the "goons"), Ann Doran, Corey Allen, William Hopper, Jack Grinnage, Frank Mazzola, and Ian Wolfe NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Important Added Info: Note that part of the tagline just above the title has been overprinted! It originally read: "The overnight sensation of 'East of Eden' becomes the star of the year!", but the second half of the tagline was overprinted, no doubt because Dean died a month before the movie was released (but after the posters were prepared), and no doubt someone at the studio thought the tagline was now in bad taste. Depending on how you look at it, this is either a cool addition to the poster or a defect. Please do not bid on the poster unless you can accept that it is overprinted in this area.
