Writer F. Scott Fitzgerald Was Born
September 24, 1896
While living on the French Riviera, Zelda's illness became serious. She suddenly began to practice ballet, dancing night and day. After a second nervous breakdown, she was hospitalized for mental illness in Asheville, North Carolina. During the last years of his life, Fitzgerald lived in Hollywood, earning his living as a screenwriter. He died of a heart attack at the age of 44, leaving his final novel, The Last Tycoon (about life in Hollywood), only half done.
