Although he has written and published twenty books under his own name, he is best known for a fictional " autobiography " of Howard Hughes in the early 1970s. After Hughes denounced him and sued the publisher, McGraw-Hill , Irving confessed to the hoax and was sentenced to two and a half years in prison, of which he served 17 months. Irving's 1981 book titled The Hoax is the author's version of events surrounding the fake autobiography. The book was made into a 2006 biopic of the same name starring Richard Gere as Clifford Irving. He is most active now as an author of electronic books available via Kindle and Nook .

Early life and writing career Irving grew up in New York City , the son of Jay Irving , a Collier's cover artist and the creator of the syndicated comic strip Pottsy, and Dorothy. After graduating in 1947 from Manhattan's High School of Music and Art , Irving attended Cornell University , graduated with honors in English, and worked on his first novel, On a Darkling Plain ( Putnam , 1956), while he was a copy boy at The New York Times .

Murrow . Early life Rose was born in Henderson, North Carolina , the only child of Margaret (née Frazier) and Charles Peete Rose, Sr., tobacco farmers who owned a country store. As a child, Rose lived above his parents' store in Henderson and helped out with the family business from age seven. Rose admitted in a Fresh Dialogues interview that as a child his insatiable curiosity was constantly getting him in trouble. A high school basketball star, Rose entered Duke University intending to pursue a degree with a pre-med track, but an internship in the office of Democratic North Carolina Senator B. Everett Jordan got him interested in politics. Rose graduated in 1964 with a bachelor's degree in history. At Duke, he was a member of the Kappa Alpha Order fraternity. He earned a Juris Doctor from the Duke University School of Law in 1968.

He met his wife, Mary (King), while attending Duke.

published: 23 May 2016 Clifford Irving : definition of Clifford Irving and synonyms of Clifford Irving (English) 8 External links Early life and writing career Irving grew up in New York City, the son of Dorothy and Jay Irving , a Collier's cover artist and the creator of the syndicated comic strip Pottsy, about a fat and friendly New York City policeman. [1] After graduating in 1947 from Manhattan's High School of Music and Art , Irving attended Cornell University , graduated with honors in English, and worked on his first novel, On a Darkling Plain ( Putnam , 1956), while he was a copy boy at The New York Times . He completed his second novel, The Losers (1958), as he traveled about Europe. He led an adventurous life, basing himself for many years on the then relatively unknown Spanish Mediterranean island of Ibiza . In 1957, he sailed on a three-masted schooner from Mexico to France ; in 1958, he spent many months in Marrakech and Fes working on a CBC-BBC documentary film production about vanishing aspects of Moroccan culture.

On Ibiza, he met an Englishwoman, Claire Lydon, and they married in 1958, moving to California , where she was tragically killed at Big Sur , while shopping, in an automobile accident. [2] Irving was later married to English author Maureen "Moish" Earl from 1984 to 1998 while living much of the time in the mountain town of San Miguel de Allende , Guanajuato , Mexico. On a Darkling Plain and The Losers were not financially successful but received excellent reviews. On a Darkling Plain was sometimes compared with another novel set at Cornell, Charles Thompson's Halfway Down the Stairs (1957). John O.

Lyons, in an addendum to his 1962 survey "The College Novel in America: 1962-1974" (Critique, 1974), saw a tendency toward pranks and put-ons in Irving's early work (a critical analysis Irving then dismissed as "nonsense" but now admits may have some merit): Richard Farina 's Been Down So Long It Looks Like Up to Me (1966) continues the iconoclastic Cornell Bildungsroman of the fifties by Clifford Irving, On a Darkling Plain (1956); Charles Thompson, Halfway Down the Stairs (1957); and Robert Gutwillig, After Long Silence (1958). The oscillation between Weltschmerz and pranks in these novels was undoubtedly an influence on "The Whole Sick Crew" of Pynchon 's V . [3] Irving's third novel, The Valley, is a mythic Western, published by McGraw-Hill in 1960.

Spencer Tracy wanted to play the leading role of ruthless rancher Gavin Roy, but Tracy's heart attack prior to production made it too difficult for him to play the part, and the project was shelved, with Irving retaining the dramatic rights. In 1962, after a year spent traveling around the world and living in a houseboat in Kashmir, Irving moved back to Ibiza with his third wife, English photographic model Fay Brooke, and their newborn son, Josh. This marriage ended in divorce. In 1967, he married Swiss/German artist Edith Sommer, and they had two sons, John Edmond (aka "Nedsky") and Barnaby. On Ibiza he was friendly with Hungarian art forger Elmyr de Hory and was asked by De Hory to write his biography, Fake! (1969). Irving and de Hory are both featured in Orson Welles 's documentary F for Fake (1974). Fake autobiography of Howard Hughes Preparations By 1958, Howard Hughes had become a recluse who hated any kind of public scrutiny. Whenever he found out that someone was writing an unauthorized biography about him, he bought the writer off.

By the 1960s, he even refused to appear in court. According to various rumours, he was either terminally ill, mentally unstable, or even dead and replaced by an impersonator. In 1970, in Palma de Mallorca, Spain, Irving met with an author of children's books and old friend, Richard Suskind , and spontaneously created the scheme to write Hughes's "autobiography." Irving and Suskind believed that because Hughes had completely withdrawn from public life, he would never want to draw attention to himself by denouncing the book or filing a lawsuit for slander . Suskind would do most of the necessary research in news archives. Irving started by enlisting the aid of artist and writer friends on Ibiza in order to forge letters in Hughes's own hand, imitating authentic letters they had seen displayed in Newsweek magazine. [2] Irving contacted his publisher, McGraw-Hill , and claimed that he had corresponded with Hughes because of his book about de Hory and that Hughes had expressed interest in letting him write his autobiography.

The McGraw-Hill editors invited him to New York, where he showed them three forged letters, one of which claimed that Hughes wished to have his biography written but that he wanted the project to remain secret for the time being. The autobiography would be based on interviews Hughes was willing to do with Irving. McGraw-Hill agreed to the terms and wrote up contracts between Hughes, Irving and the company; Irving and his friends forged Hughes's signatures. McGraw-Hill paid an advance of $100,000, with an additional $400,000 that would go to Hughes. Irving later bargained the sum up to $765,000, with $100,000 going to Irving and the rest to Hughes. McGraw-Hill paid by checks made out to "H. R. Hughes", which Irving's Swiss wife Edith deposit to a Swiss bank account that she had opened under the name of "Helga R. Hughes." [4] The manuscript Irving and Suskind researched all the available information about Hughes.

To reinforce the public perception of Hughes as an eccentric recluse, Irving also created fake interviews that he claimed were conducted in remote locations all over the world, including one on a Mexican pyramid. Irving and Suskind also gained access to the private files of Time-Life , as well as a manuscript by James Phelan, who was ghostwriting memoirs of Noah Dietrich , former business manager to Hughes. Mutual acquaintance and Hollywood producer Stanley Meyer showed Irving a copy of the manuscript—without Phelan's consent—in the hope that he would be willing to rewrite it in a more publishable format. Irving hurriedly made a copy of it for his own purposes. In late 1971, Irving delivered the manuscript to McGraw-Hill. He included notes in Hughes's forged handwriting that an expert forensic document analyst declared genuine. Hughes experts at Time-Life were also convinced. McGraw-Hill announced its intention to publish the book in March 1972. The investigation Several representatives of Hughes's companies and other people who had known the businessman expressed their doubts about the forthcoming work's authenticity. Irving countered that Hughes had simply not told them about the book.

Meanwhile, Frank McCulloch, known for years as the last journalist to interview Hughes, received an angry call from someone claiming to be Hughes himself. But when McCulloch read the Irving manuscript, he declared that it was indeed accurate. McGraw-Hill and Life , which had paid to publish excerpts of the book, continued to support Irving. Osborn Associates, a firm of handwriting experts, declared the writing samples were authentic. Irving had to submit to a lie-detector test, the results of which indicated inconsistencies but no outright lies. [5] For weeks, there was no sign of Hughes. On January 7, 1972, Hughes finally contacted the outside world. He arranged a telephone conference with seven journalists who had known him years before. It took place two days later; the journalists' end of the conversation was televised. Hughes denounced Irving, said that he had never even met him, and said that he was still living in the Bahamas . Irving claimed that the voice was probably a fake. Hughes's lawyer, Chester Davis, filed suit against McGraw-Hill, Life, Clifford Irving and Dell Publications. Swiss authorities investigated the "Helga R.

Hughes" bank account; they found that $750,000 had been deposited and that the Irvings, who by this time had returned to their home on the Balearic resort island of Ibiza, were denying everything. When Swiss police visited the Irvings on Ibiza, Clifford Irving tried to hint that he might have been dealing with an impostor. Then, James Phelan read an excerpt of the "autobiography" and realized that some of its factual information had come not from Hughes, but from his own book. Finally, the Swiss bank identified Edith Irving as the depositor of the funds, and the fraud was revealed. Confession and trial Eventually, the Irvings gave up and confessed on January 28, 1972. They and Suskind were indicted for fraud , appeared in federal court on March 13, and were found guilty on June 16. Despite the efforts of Irving's lawyers, Maurice Nessen and Philip Lorber, Irving was convicted and spent 17 months in prison at the federal correctional facility in Danbury, Connecticut and at the Federal Correctional Complex, Allenwood in Pennsylvania, where he stopped smoking and took up weightlifting .

He voluntarily returned the $765,000 advance to his publishers. Suskind was sentenced to six months and served five. Edith, a.k.a. "Helga", served time in America and in Switzerland . Books Following his release, Irving continued to write books, including several bestsellers, notably Trial, Tom Mix and Pancho Villa, Final Argument and Daddy's Girl. He lived for a time in East Hampton; then San Miguel de Allende, Mexico; then Santa Fe ; and finally settled into a quiet and semi-reclusive life near Aspen, Colorado , where, in his own words, he "writes, paints, gardens, practices tai chi and yoga, chops firewood, and counts his blessings." The fraudulent autobiography was published in Santa Fe in a private edition in 1999, and went out of print, but, in March 2008, John Blake Publishing, a British company, issued Howard Hughes: The Autobiography.

[6] All the events of the experience were described in detail in Irving's The Hoax, published by The Permanent Press in 1981 (previously issued under different titles by Grove Press in New York in 1972 and Allison & Busby in London in 1977). [7] In 2012, Irving digitally self-published 12 of his works, some of which had never been published before, including I Remember Amnesia, Jailing: the Prison Memoirs of 00040, and Bloomberg Discovers America. Film Main article: The Hoax In July 2005, filming began in Puerto Rico and New York on The Hoax , starring Richard Gere as Irving, Alfred Molina as Suskind, and Marcia Gay Harden as Edith. On March 6, 2007, Hyperion reissued Clifford Irving's The Hoax in a movie tie-in edition. The film, directed by Lasse Hallström , opened on April 6, 2007, with a DVD release following on October 16. The majority of reviews were favorable.

Irving, however, decried the film as a distortion of the story and "a hoax about a hoax," citing the film's portrayals of himself, Suskind and Edith Irving as "absurd even more than inaccurate" and claiming that the film added events and scenes that did not occur in real life. [8] As the author of the source book, Irving is credited as a writer for the film.
