James Dean's third and last movie was Giant which was filmed in the summer and early fall of 1955 and was released in 1956--a year after

Jimmy's death. The film was based on Edna Ferber's popular saga about a Texas cattle raising family. Dean played Jett Rink, a bitter ranch

hand turned wealthy oil wildcatter. Lee Strasberg, Dean's Actors Studio coach, considered the role Dean's greatest screen performance.

Reportedly, Strasberg wept when he saw the movie, grieved by the loss of so promising a talent.

The screenplay was written by Ivan Moffat and the late George Stevens who also directed the film. Moffat and Stevens had previously worked

together on A Place in the Sun and Shane which are regarded by some as classics of the 1950s cinema. The former starred Montgomery Clift and

Elizabeth Taylor whom Stevens selected as the female lead in Giant. Among Moffat's screenplays were the Gary Cooper - Rita Hayworth Western,

They Came to Cordura (1958), and Boy on a Dolphin (1957). Moffat died in 2002 at the age of 84. This interview, conducted by Martin Pitts for

American Legends, first appeared in 2000.
