Biography
Harry Leon Wilson, a distinctive voice in American letters, began his life's story on May 1, 1867, in Oregon, Illinois, USA. A prolific writer, his imaginative narratives transcended the page, finding their way to the silver screen in memorable productions such as Cameo Kirby (1914), Make Me a Star (1932), and Bunker Bean (1936). Off the page, Wilson's personal journey included three marriages: to Helen MacGowan Cook, to the renowned artist Rose Cecil Latham (famously known as Rose O'Neill), and to Wilbertine Nesselrode Teters. His influential career drew to a close on June 28, 1939, in Monterey, California, USA.
