### Author Biography

The son of Italian immigrants who moved to the Hell's Kitchen area of New York City, **Mario Puzo** was born on October 15, 1920. After World War II, during which he served as a U.S. Army corporal, he attended City College of New York on the G.I. Bill and worked as a freelance writer. During this period he wrote his first two novels _The Dark Arena_ (1955) and _The Fortunate Pilgrim_ (1965).

When his books made little money despite being critically acclaimed, he vowed to write a bestseller. _The Godfather_ (1969) was an enormous success. He collaborated with director Francis Ford Coppola on the screenplays for all three Godfather movies and won Academy Awards for both _The Godfather_ (1972) and _The Godfather, Part II_ (1974). He also collaborated on the scripts for such films as _Superman_ (1978), _Superman II_ (1981), and _The Cotton Club_ (1984). He continued to write phenomenally successful novels, including _Fools Die_ (1978), _The Sicilian_ (1984), T_he Fourth K_ (1991), and _The Last Don_ (1996). Mario Puzo died on July 2, 1999. His final novel, _Omerta_, was published in 2000.
