With the famous "Hollywood" sign as a background, this sculpture of James Dean celebrates the Griffith Observatory as the site where several films were made.....James Dean's Rebel Without a Cause being one of them.
The plaque accompanying the bust indicates:
" KEY SCENES FROM THE/CLASSIC
MOTION PICTURE "REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE"
WERE FILMED AT THE GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY
IN SPRING 1955. ALTHOUGH MANY MOVIES
HAVE BEEN FILMED AT GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY,
"REBEL WITHOUT A CAUSE" WAS THE FIRST TO
PORTRAY THE OBSERVATORY AS WHAT IT IS AND TO CONTRIBUTE POSITIVELY TO THE OBSERVATORY'S INTERNATIONAL REPUTATION.
THIS MONUMENT ACKNOWLEDGES GRIFFITH OBSERVATORY'S LONG AND CONTINUOUS
INVOLVEMENT WITH HOLLYWOOD FILM
PRODUCTION BY REMEMBERING THE YOUNG
STAR OF THAT MOTION PICTURE"
