Don O'Melveny

Don O'Melveny was born and raised in Los Angeles. He is a graduate of USC Cinema School, and has written two screenplays, produced by HBO including the world premiered, "Extramarital." O'Melveny spent 15 years in the modern/contemporary art business, having owned a gallery in West Hollywood. Movies, books, writing, and the arts became his passion when he read Irving Stone's biography of Van Gogh, "Lust For Life". He is the author of three novels, The Last Year in the Life of Marilyn Monroe, Volumes One and Two and No City for Dreaming.

"Hollywood noir mashed up with Cuban missile crisis-conspiracy theories and the shadowy death of Marilyn Monroe... makes for a dark and fascinating read." Kirkus Reviews on No City for Dreaming.

"Giving voice to public icons is no easy task, but O'Melveny's lines ring true, lending an air of credibility to every word spoken. This enjoyable ... story will leave readers wanting to know more as they consider the line between fact and fiction." Kirkus Reviews
