Zachary Smith Reynolds (November 5, 1911 - July 6, 1932) was an American amateur aviator and younger son of R. J. Reynolds. The Zachary Smith Reynolds story was the basis for two movies, ''Reckless'', starring Jean Harlow, and the popular 1950s classic, ''Written on the Wind''. The latter was loosely based on a novel by Robert Wilder. In addition, the film ''Sing, Sinner, Sing'' was loosely based upon the allegations surrounding Reynolds' death. ==Early life== Reynolds (also known as Z. Smith Reynolds, or just Smith) was the youngest child of R. J. Reynolds, founder of the R.J. Reynolds Tobacco Company, and Mary Katherine "Katherine" Smith Reynolds. R.J. Reynolds died in 1918 of pancreatic cancer, and Katherine Reynolds died in 1924. The Reynolds children then went to live with their uncle, William Neal Reynolds, and his wife Kate, who did not have children of their own. Reynolds quit school as a teenager to focus on flying planes, for which he had a talent.〔 He was scheduled to receive $17 million from his father's estate at the age of 21.〔 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「Zachary Smith Reynolds」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
