James Byron Dean - Legends of Hollywood, (February 8, 1931 – September 30, 1955)

Special design details:

The agency that handles the rights to James Dean insisted that each stamp include the trademark symbol below Dean’s name. Hesitant to include this, the USPS printed it in very small black letters in the dark gray background.

About the printing process: The perforations in the corners are star shaped, reflecting Dean’s movie star status.

First Day City: The First Day of Issue ceremony took place at the Warner Bros. Studios where Dean’s movies were filmed.

About the Legends of Hollywood Series: The Legends of Hollywood series began on June 1, 1995 with the release of the Marilyn Monroe stamp. Each Legends of Hollywood stamp includes a painting of the star and their signature on the stamp design itself, with a larger image of the star plus information about their career in the selvage. The series continued until 2016 with the final stamp picturing Shirley Temple.
