[QUOTE="James Heard, post: 3791944, member: 7280"] Just a typo: He doesn't graduate college in 1916, but in 1926. 1906: Born. A scorpio. 1923: Age 17, gets into Harvard 1926: Age 20, finishes college. Smart, as well as beautiful. ;) Goes to Spain. 1927: Age 21, travels. 1928: Age 22, finishes writing The Yearling. Still traveling, probably begins to appear in movie parts when suckered into it by his now famous friends. 1930: Age 24, finally sells "The Yearling", quickly followed by "One Hill Farther." 1931: Age 25, his big break year - he appears in the Tarzan-esque action movie "The Savage", and soon after "The Village" appears in bookstores. 1932: Age 26, "Up & Down." Olympic medalist Weissmuller becomes Tarzan, probably owing to his more substantial physique. 1933: Age 27, "Haunted Safari" 1935: Age 29, "The Supermen" (which probably takes two years to write because its tremendous page count) 1936: Age 30 (at least at the end of October), the present The trickiest part was picking a starting date where he wasn't too young to be a Lost Generation writer, but could come in at the end of the period without really participating (and being much older) and that opened up some opportunities for weird trivia like "dated Maureen O'Sullivan and starred in a picture with her before her big break." I wanted to make sure he could have done weirdly notable things for the day, like have circled the globe a couple of times and met Charles Lindbergh and impressionist painters in Paris for coffee, gone hunting in Africa with an older Hemingway, and gone to the Olympics in San Moritz, etc. [/QUOTE]
