Jack Fincher (December 6 1930 — April 10 2003) was a screenwriter and journalist who has written for various magazines and periodicals, notably serving as a chief editor of Life magazine. He is also the husband of Claire Mae (née Boettcher), a mental health nurse from South Dakota who worked in drug addiction programs and the father of acclaimed film director David Fincher. Fincher once wrote a Howard Hughes biopic before it was decided to go with John Logan's script for The Aviator instead. He also wrote The Brain Mystery of Matter and Mind (The Human Body) (Torstar Books Inc.) It is believed that Jack Fincher is the name he used for his books and that Howard Kelly Fincher is the name he was given. [1] [2]
