Richard Hack (March 20, 1951) is an American writer best known for his biographical books and screenplays. He is a frequent guest on talk shows and an outspoken critic of bias in television news. == Background == 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 was instrumental in propelling the paper into a dominant position over rival ''Variety,'' and 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. 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 Matt consequently had to cut short the interview to report on the ongoing events. His subsequent book, ''PuppetMaster: The Secret Life of J. Edgar Hoover'' was the basis of the 2011 film "J Edgar," directed by Clint Eastwood. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Richard Hack」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
