About the author
Writing under the name Henry Farrell, Charles Farrell Myers was an American novelist and screenwriter born on September 27, 1920, in Madera, California. He is most widely remembered for What Ever Happened to Baby Jane?, the 1960 novel that became the classic 1962 film starring Bette Davis and Joan Crawford.
Farrell wrote across novels, short fiction, and screen work, with a strong taste for gothic tension, uneasy family dynamics, and show-business shadows. His fiction helped shape a run of stylish psychological thrillers in the 1960s, including stories connected with Hush...Hush, Sweet Charlotte and What’s the Matter with Helen?.
He died on March 29, 2006, in Pacific Palisades, California. Even now, he stands out as a writer who knew how to make glamour feel eerie and domestic life feel just a little dangerous.
