Richard Hack (March 20, 1951) is an American writer best known for his biographical books and screenplays.[1] He is a frequent guest on talk shows and an outspoken critic of bias in television news. Background{{BLP sources section|date=February 2011}}Born in Drexel Hill, Pennsylvania, Hack attended the Lynnewood School, and Haverford High School, on the Main Line in suburban Philadelphia. He later attended Pennsylvania State University and holds a Master’s Degree in Environmental Design. Hack moved to Los Angeles where he was hired by TV Guide magazine as its West Coast national programming editor. By the early 1980s, Hack began writing the TeleVisions column for the daily entertainment trade paper, The Hollywood Reporter. During the next decade, Hack often appeared on The Tonight Show and Today reporting on Hollywood. During the same period, he was a frequent guest on Oprah Winfrey, Good Morning America, Larry King Live, Charlie Rose, Tomorrow, Entertainment Tonight, and Access Hollywood. In 1990, Hack left The Hollywood Reporter to become Vice President of Creative Affairs at Dove Audio and Entertainment, a production company that specialized in miniseries and books-on-tape. While at Dove, Hack adapted Sidney Sheldon’s The Sands of Time, Memories of Midnight, and The Stars Shine Down as mini-series, which he also produced, and wrote his first book, Next to Hughes with Robert Maheu.[2] Since leaving Dove, Hack moved to a horse ranch in Maui, where he stabled polo ponies, and established a home on the Intracoastal in Florida. His bestseller Hughes: The Private Diaries, Memos and Letters was released on September 11, 2001. Hack was being interviewed live on the Today show by Matt Lauer when the first plane crashed into the World Trade Center, and Lauer consequently had to cut their interview short to report on the ongoing events. The abrupt ending of their interview and the early reports of the attack from the Today show, is shown in a continuous loop, as part of an exhibit in the National September 11 Memorial & Museum in New York City. His subsequent book, PuppetMaster: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover was the basis of the 2011 film J. Edgar, directed by Clint Eastwood. Published works
The Aviator misattributionIt is sometimes stated that Hack's book Hughes served as the basis for Martin Scorsese's 2004 film about Howard Hughes, The Aviator. However, two competing films about Hughes were in development at the same time. The other film was to have been directed by Christopher Nolan, with star Jim Carrey and financing from Castle Rock. Its script was going to be based on Hack's biography. That film was never produced. However, "Aviator" star Leonardo DiCaprio has referred to Hack's biography in interviews about the film.[4] References1. ^{{Cite web |url=http://www.worldcat.org/search?qt=worldcat_org_all&q=Richard+Hack |title=Richard Hack |accessdate= 26 March 2010|author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher=WorldCat.org |pages= |language= |quote= }} 2. ^{{Cite web |url=https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0352378/ |title=Richard Hack |accessdate=26 March 2010 |author= |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= |year= |month= |format= |work= |publisher=Internet Movie Database |pages= |language= |quote= }} 3. ^{{Cite web |url=http://articles.latimes.com/2009/jul/02/entertainment/et-book2 |title='Duchess of Death' by Richard Hack |accessdate= 26 March 2010|author=Nolan, Tom |authorlink= |coauthors= |date= July 2009|format= |work= |publisher=Los Angeles Times |pages= |language= |quote= }} 4. ^Scorsese grabs lead in duelling Hughes films, 25 January 2002.
