Jack Kerouac (March 12 1922 – October 21 1969) was an American novelist, writer, poet, and artist. He is perhaps the best known of a group of writers and friends who came to be known as the Beat Generation.
The film rights for his first major publication "On the Road" was bought by Francis Ford Coppola in the first year of its publication, and is now being produced for cinema release in 2007. It was not until Marlon Brando's death, that letters from Jack Kerouac were discovered describing his own personal opinions as to how "On the Road" should be filmed.
