What Sid Avery said about photographing James Dean on location for "Giant":
"I was on assignment in Marfa, Texas, covering the film "Giant" and the people in the film--but focusing mostly on James Dean. I know what a terrific and inventive subject he was. Anytime I pointed my camera at Jimmy and he wasn't on the set working, he would perform for the camera at every opportunity, giving me many wonderful and creative images to record. He also borrowed my camera on occasion to shoot pictures of Elizabeth Taylor, George Stevens or some of the extras on the set." less
