F. Scott Fitzgerald was a renowned American author born in 1896 in Minnesota. He attended Princeton University but dropped out to join the Army during World War 1. While stationed in Alabama, he met and fell in love with Zelda Sayre, whom he married after the success of his first novel This Side of Paradise. Fitzgerald and Zelda embodied the excess and glamour of the 1920s as members of the "Lost Generation" in Paris, but Zelda's mental health declined and she was eventually institutionalized for schizophrenia. Fitzgerald struggled with alcoholism and financial difficulties throughout his life and career. He died in 1940 while Zelda passed away in 1948 in a sanatorium fire.
