Biography
Like Jackie Collins, the writer Fanny Flagg came to literature from the set - by the shoulders of the novelist, an impressive filmography. But if the Creator of the "Hollywood Zoo" described predominantly the morals prevailing at the "Star Factory", the author of "Fried Green Tomatoes" talks about the fate of countrymen - residents of the southern states of the United States. Creativity FLGG was awarded the praise of the classics of American literature Harper Lee.Childhood and youth
The future writer was born in the city of Birmingham, located in the south of the United States, in Alabama, in 1942 and received the name of the patrician when baptized. The population of the native city of the writer then counted 300 thousand people, and by 2019 decreased by a third as a result of the closure of industrial enterprises and the migration of "White" in the suburbs.
The girl was the only child in the family of William Herbert Nile and his wife Marion Leona. An interesting fact: the study of the future actress and writer at school overshadowed Dyslexia - Patricia was difficult to reproduce words on paper.
