Feb. 26, 1995
For the sake of convenience I have attempted to mark SOME of these entries according to how much Dean appears in each of them. Since many of these are based on written references and not necessarily by personal viewing, please *don't* just take my word for it!
Again, these categories are extremely difficult to define specifically.
Dates are given in month/day/year format, with the occasional year/year given when discrepancies have been found among various sources.
Only films are listed alphabetically; all other categories are listed chronologically.
Producers and studios are given whenever possible.
Primary source of credits: _The_Complete_Actors'_ Television_Credits,_1948-1988_ Vol. 1 (Parish & Terrace)
Television interviews are not listed due to lack of information. The same goes for appearances/nominations on various award programs, with the exception of appearances as a presenter. Are there any requests for such entries? If so, does anyone have any info to contribute?
Corrections/additions welcome!]
