Michael Horowitz (born 11 December 1938 in Brooklyn) is an American author and archivist in San Francisco.[1]
His father, Sol Horowitz, and paternal grandparents were Jews from Russia. Horowitz's American-born mother, Ethel (née Frankel), and his maternal side of the family were Romanian Jews.[2] Some of his relatives died during the Holocaust. He is the husband of author Cynthia Palmer, and the father of Winona Ryder and Uri Horowitz.[1]
A former close associate of Timothy Leary, he is responsible with his wife for the creation of the world's largest library of drug literature, the Fitz Hugh Ludlow Memorial Library.[3]
Horowitz and actor Leonardo DiCaprio are planning a biopic about Leary to be written by Craig Lucas.[4]
