Larry McMurtry was born on June 3, 1936 in Wichita Falls, Texas. Novelist, essayist, and screenwriter for film and television, McMurtry sets most of his works in the West. He grew up on a ranch on the outskirts of Archer City, Texas and studied at North Texas State University and Rice University. His first novel, Hud the Wild (1961) immediately sparked the interest of critics and won the Jesse M. Jones Award from the Texas Institute of Letters (1962) and the Guggenheim Fellowship (1964). In 1985, he won the Pulitzer Prize for his novel Lonesome Dove. Author of twenty-five novels, two essay collections, an autobiographical text, and more than thirty screenplays, McMurtry is best known for the masterful film adaptations of some of his novels: in 1963 Hud starring Paul Newman and in 1971 The Last Picture Show, Peter Bogdanovich's masterpiece. In 2006, McMurtry was awarded the Golden Globe and the Oscar for the screenplay of Brokeback Mountain. He currently lives in Archer City, Texas.
