	Terry Southern - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Terry Southern (May 1, 1924 - October 29, 1995) was a highly influential American short story writer, novelist, essayist, screenwriter and university lecturer.
		Southern's dark and often absurdist style of broad yet biting satire helped to define the sensibilities of several generations of intelligent writers, readers, directors and filmgoers.
		Born in Alvarado, Texas, Southern left Southern Methodist University to serve as a Lieutenant in the US Army during World War II, returning to the States to study at Northwestern University, where he graduated with a degree in philosophy in 1948.

		From 1958 to 1970, Terry was the champ.
		Terry Southern's work is embedded in the only tradition which has so far proved indigenous to the American culture, the tradition of romantic agony, which was in the process of being overhauled by Jack Kerouac, Allen Ginsberg and William Burroughs, as well as Terry Southern.
		Terry, who had made and spent a fortune in the '60s without keeping records of his expenses, had managed to hold onto only a tiny amount of what he had earned and was a sitting duck.

		Terry Southern was about to become, as was said of Orson Welles, a man with a great future behind him.
		Southern, past forty, was making the first serious money of his career, as well as enjoying the ancillary joys that accompanied Hollywood success -- drugs, sex, glamour, and, soon, residence in the rarefied air of the Beatles/Stones axis.
		Terry Southern skewered bogus patriotism, sexual hypocrisy, vapid public culture, the sacred "free" market: these days the number-one topic seems to be the heft and dimensions of Jennifer Lopez's ass.

	Terry Southern, Screenwriter, Is Dead at 71
		Southern and two of the film's stars, Peter Fonda and Dennis Hopper, created a screenplay about two drug-fueled dropouts who travel cross-country by motorcycle, ostensibly in search of the American dream, and in the process pick up a true free spirit played by Jack Nicholson.
		Southern was a staff writer for "Saturday Night Live" in 1981 and 1982 and collaborated on the script for the 1988 film "The Telephone," with Whoopi Goldberg.
		Southern was born in Alvarado, Tex. He began writing short stories as the age of 11, went to high school in Dallas, attended Southern Methodist University and the University of Chicago, received a B.A. from Northwestern University in 1948 and studied at the Sorbonne in Paris from 1948 to 1950.

	Southern Comfort
		His was a candid Quality Lit (his term — Southern was always good for abbreviation) written with an unsympathetic eye and without regard for guilt, pity or (until the latter part of his life) autobiographical shadow.
		Southern’s grandness of ego, his hip radar — that which guided the high-society rouse of Christian and the titillating Candy, the satirical farce of Strangelove and The Loved One —; was the very thing that came to make blunt his life and work.
		For all Southern’s failings, in the latter half of his life, he still managed bittersweet works — like the fond "Remembering Abbie," included in Now Dig This — and too-clever-by-half interview sessions about the strange, unregrettable trip that was his life.

	Robert Fulford's column about Terry Southern
		Terry Southern, a writer of funny books and funnier movies in the 1960s, was ironic before the whole world turned ironic.
		It was said that Terry saw in her the embodiment of his sweet, innocent heroine, Candy, a modern female version of Voltaire's Candide.
		Before Terry Southern can be a hero once more, it may be necessary to rediscover certain virtues now hidden deep within the whole discredited ethos of the 1960s.

	washingtonpost.com: Billionaires Run Amok on TV? (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-07)
		A few years after Southern died, a new kind of TV program was born: "reality" shows such as "Survivor" and "Fear Factor," which showed average Americans eating rats and bugs for a chance to win big bucks.
		Southern is unavailable for comment, but his son, Nile Southern, says he's noticed the similarities between "The Magic Christian" and the billionaire shows.
		Southern, 43, edited "Now Dig This," a 2001 collection of his father's writings and recently published "The Candy Men," a book about the strange story of "Candy." He can imagine how his old man would react to the billionaire shows.

		Writing to a journalist, Southern denied that Henry A. Kissinger was the model for Strangelove, saying that he was not a known quantity to him or Kubrick when they wrote the film in 1961 and 1962.
		Southern was best known as a collaborator — on "Candy" and as a screenwriter of "Dr. Strangelove," "The Cincinnati Kid," "The Loved One," "Barbarella," "Easy Rider" and "The End of the Road," among others.

		Terry disappeared from my world while the world itself was somehow taking shape in his image: Barbarella, Candy, Easy Rider, Dr. Strangelove—all the pop-vulture symbols of social change had his stamp (and his name) on them.
		Terry was all over the place—London with the Beatles and Stones (making The Magic Christian), Hollywood, where he lived with Gail, his new woman (a ballerina/actress), doing The Cincinnati Kid, The Loved One, The Collector) and now Rome where, as if in explanation of everything, he sent me a virtual Batmobile.
		Terry used to say to me, "Never take a job just for the money." I was ten years old at the time, and he continued saying it as my friends were doing their summer jobs, which I eventually did as well.

		Southern, whose sunglass-framed face graces the cover of the Beatles' Sgt Pepper album, was scurrilous and frequently pornographic - witness his novel, Candy - and was feted by the New York Times as "the hippest man on the planet".
		When I first heard of this show, televised last week, I figured it must be satire inspired by a Terry Southern novel, like the author's hilarious quiz show called "What's My Disease," in which panelists try to diagnosis a guest's illness and the audience applauds wildly when a panelist correctly identifies a dread disease...

		There exists a script, which is in the safekeeping of Terry's second wife, that proves that Terry--and Terry alone--penned the screenplay about Billy (Dennis Hopper) and Wyatt (Fonda) and their last-score dope deal before hitting the road in search of the good life.
		Southern had created the character of civil-rights lawyer George Hanson for his old pal Rip Torn to play (though it would become the role that made Jack Nicholson a star), and it was Terry who insisted on keeping the ending in which two rednecks shotgun-blast the easy riders all to hell.
		Terry Southern, who made sure the two young nobodies got co-screenwriting credit with him against the wishes of the Writers Guild of America, got nothing more than the $5,000 he was paid up front to lend his name and his prodigious talent to the project.

		The only large projects Southern managed to complete during his last 25 years were the execrable 1988 movie The Telephone, which was written with the musician Harry Nilsson and starred Whoopi Goldberg as a crazed actress, and the maudlin 1991 autobiographical novel, Texas Summer.
		Southern was undone by a number of factors: His fondness for booze started to catch up with him.
