Earl Derr Biggers

Earl Derr Biggers

Earl Derr Biggers (* 24. August 1884 in Warren, Ohio; † 5. April 1933 in Pasadena, Kalifornien) war ein US-amerikanischer Schriftsteller.

Earl Dear Biggers schloss 1907 sein Studium an der Harvard University ab und war anschließend als Journalist tätig. Sein 1913 veröffentlichter Krimi Seven Keys to Baldpate war ein großer Erfolg und wurde insgesamt siebenmal verfilmt. George M. Cohan adaptierte den Roman für eine Bühnenfassung.

Bis heute bekannt ist die von ihm erschaffene Figur des Charlie Chan, den großen Erfolg seiner Schöpfung im Film ab 1934 erlebte Biggers aber nicht mehr mit, da er 1933 an einem Herzinfarkt starb.
