N.H. Kleinbaum
Born in 1948
Nancy Horowitz Kleinbaum is an American author and journalist best known for writing the novelization of Dead Poets Society.
The book was based on the 1989 film of the same name, rather than being the source material for the movie.
Kleinbaum adapted the screenplay into novel form, expanding on some scenes and characters while maintaining the core story and themes.
Her writing career has primarily focused on novelizations and adaptations of popular films and television shows.
While Dead Poets Society remains her most well-known work, it represents just one part of her broader career in writing and journalism.
