what was f. scott fitzgerald's first name
He was a cocky, witty student, with almost feminine looks and no money at all. Their love affair never had a chance â but it inspired Americaâs greatest romantic novel and now a new film tipped to sweep every awards ceremony: The Great Gatsby. F. Scott Fitzgerald never stopped worshipping Ginevra King, his first love. She captivated his heart when he was a 19-year-old at Yale and she was just 16, in her second year at boarding school.
