Young F. Scott Fitzgerald, 1906-07

Francis Scott Key Fitzgerald (September 24, 1896 - December 21, 1940) was an American author of novels and short stories. His first novel, This Side of Paradise, was published in 1920 and became an instant success. Like most professional authors at the time, he supplemented his income by writing short stories for such magazines as The Saturday Evening Post, Collier's Weekly, and Esquire, and sold his stories and novels to Hollywood studios. Although his passion lay in writing novels, only his first novel sold well enough to support the opulent lifestyle that he and Zelda adopted as New York celebrities. He began working on his fourth novel during the late 1920s but was sidetracked by financial difficulties that necessitated his writing commercial short stories, and by the schizophrenia that struck Zelda in 1930. In 1937, Fitzgerald moved to Hollywood, working on commercial short stories, scripts for MGM, and his fifth and final novel, The Love of the Last Tycoon. He had been an alcoholic since his college days leaving him in poor health by the late 1930s. He died of a heart attack in 1940 at the age of 44.
