English writer
Charles Higham (pronounced HYE-um; 18 February 1931 – 21 April 2012)[1][2] was an English author, editor and poet.
After moving to Australia in 1954, Higham began a career in journalism, before moving to the United States in 1969. In the United States, he became known as a celebrity biographer, mainly of film stars, such as Katharine Hepburn and Errol Flynn.
The latter book, among several during Higham's career, was criticized for fabrications.[3] Close friends of another of his subjects, Orson Welles, in particular Peter Bogdanovich, were critical of Higham's interpretation of his career.
Early life and career
Born in London, Higham was the son of MP and advertising mogul Sir Charles Higham and his fourth wife, Josephine Janet Keuchenius Webb.[4] Higham's parents divorced when he was three, and thereafter Charles lived with his mother.
His father died four years later.[5]
