James Dean

The iconic actor made just three films before dying in a car crash in California -- and two of them were released after his death. His most famous movie, "Rebel Without A Cause," hit theaters less than a month after his death. He died before his last movie, "Giant," was edited -- meaning another actor had to overdub one of his final scenes because Dean had mumbled when it was shot.
