Fannie Hurst (October 19, 1885 – February 23, 1968)[1] was an American
novelist and short-story writer whose works were highly popular during
the post-World War I era. Her work combined sentimental, romantic
themes with social issues of the day, such as women\'s rights and race
relations. She was one of the most widely read female authors of the
20th century, and for a time in the 1920s she was one of the
highest-paid American writers, along with Booth Tarkington. Hurst also
actively supported a number of social causes, including feminism,
African American equality, and New Deal programs.[2]
Although her novels, including Lummox (1923), Back Street (1931), and
Imitation of Life (1933), lost popularity over time and were mostly
out-of-print as of the 2000s, they were bestsellers when first
published and were translated into many languages. She also published
over 300 short stories during her lifetime. Hurst is known for the
film adaptations of her works, including Imitation of Life (1934),
starring Claudette Colbert, Louise Beavers, Fredi Washington, and
Warren William; Imitation of Life (1959), starring Lana Turner;
Humoresque (1946), starring Joan Crawford; and Young at Heart (1954),
starring Frank Sinatra.
