Ellis Edward Amburn (born August 2, 1933 in Jack County, Texas) is an American book editor and biographer. ==Life== A 1954 graduate of Texas Christian University, Ellis Amburn worked as a reporter for ''Newsweek'' before going into the book publishing industry where he rose to the position of editor, working for such well-known publishers as Delacorte Press, Coward-McCann, William Morrow. During his career, Amburn was an editor for authors such John le Carré, Belva Plain, Muriel Spark, Joshua Logan and for Jack Kerouac, who would be the subject of Amburn's 1998 book on which Leonardo DiCaprio has optioned film rights. Amburn served as editorial director for G. P. Putnam's Sons and in addition worked as a ghostwriter for Priscilla Presley, Shelley Winters, Peggy Lee and Zsa Zsa Gabor. In 1990, he produced his first biography on fellow Texan Roy Orbison that led to further such books. He is noted for his exhaustive research, even going so far as to live for several weeks at the home of the parents of Orbison's first wife, Claudette Frady-Orbison. His books have generated controversy at times (such as his biography of Janis Joplin), and he is reviled by many Orbison fans for presenting hearsay as fact. Amburn lives in High Springs, Florida, outside of Gainesville〔("Gainesville's 18 Most Interesting People - Ellis Amburn", ''Gainesville Insight'', 01 January 2010 )〕 and in Tifton, Georgia. His papers are held at Texas Christian University.〔http://lib.tcu.edu/spcoll/finding%20aid_files/Amburn%20-%20MS12.pdf〕
