Following the success of the Marilyn Monroe stamp, the USPS honored another of Hollywood's most iconic figures, James Dean. The stamp, issued on June 24, 1996, features a portrait that conveys the rebellious and sensitive persona he cultivated in films like "Rebel Without a Cause." The First Day of Issue ceremony was held at Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, where Dean made his most famous films. The stamp's design includes star-shaped perforations in the corners, a nod to his movie star status.
