Edward Norton: F. Scott Fitzgerald

I think Edward Norton would be downright brilliant as the Jazz Age author, F. Scott Fitzgerald. They also look rather similar, wouldn't you say...haha
BONUS!!!
F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940)
F. Scott Fitzgerald was an American writer whose novels portrayed wealthy American society in the 1920s. His first book (called This Side of Paradise) was published in 1920, and itssuccess made Fitzgerald a rich and fashionable member of society.
He married Zelda Sayre and together they traveled to Europe, where Fitzgerald wrote his most famous novel, The Great Gatsby (1925). During the 1930s the couple got into some debt, Zelda became ill and Fitzgerald an alcoholic. These experiences formed the basis of his novel Tender Is the Night, written in 1934. Late in life, Fitzgerald tried to make money writing film scripts in Hollywood. He died leaving one novel, The Last Tycoon, unfinished.
