Шаблон:Short description Шаблон:Infobox writer Edna Buchanan (née Rydzik, born March 16, 1939)[1][2] is an American journalist and writer who is best known for her crime mystery novels. She won the 1986 Pulitzer Prize for General News Reporting "for her versatile and consistently excellent police beat reporting."[3]
Early life
Buchanan was born in Paterson, New Jersey.[4] In high school she worked in a coat factory and after graduating she worked, along with her mother, at a Western Electric plant.[5] She attended Montclair State College,[6] where she took a creative writing course and was encouraged to become a writer. She and her mother took a vacation to Miami Beach and, according to Buchanan, she knew as soon as she walked off the plane that she wanted to leave Paterson.[5]
Career
Buchanan began her career writing for the Miami Beach Sun, covering crime, local politics, society, celebrity interviews and occasionally letters to the editor. In 1973, she began working as a police beat reporter for the Miami Herald.[5] In 1986 she won the Pulitzer Prize in General News Reporting.[3]
Her book Miami, It's Murder was nominated for an Edgar Award in 1995.[2]
Buchanan's autobiographical book The Corpse Had A Familiar Face inspired two TV movies starring Elizabeth Montgomery: The Corpse Had a Familiar Face (1994) and Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan (1995), the latter marking Montgomery's final acting role before her death that year. Her novel Nobody Lives Forever was made into a TV movie in 1998.
Buchanan was embarrassed in 1990 when she was quoted extensively in the book Blue Thunder: How the Mafia Owned and Finally Murdered Cigarette Boat King Donald Aronow, by Thomas Burdick and Charlene Mitchell.
Burdick ... led her to believe that he was seeking only background information, never used a tape recorder or took notes, asked her to hypothesize about people and situations, then quoted her as if she were stating fact.
According to Buchanan, she tried to have her name and the quotes removed from the book after she read the galley proofs, but she was told by the publisher that it was too late.[7]
She was profiled in an article by Calvin Trillin in 1986 for The New Yorker, which was included in an anthology of his work entitled Killings.
Buchanan is featured in the 2018 documentary film The Last Resort.[8][9]
