Wikipedia

Ray Bradbury (født 22. august 1920 i Waukegan, Illinois) er en amerikansk science-fiction-forfatter. Bradburys mor, Ester Maria Moberg, var fra Dalarna i Sverige. Som barn flyttede han flere gange, og har siden 1934 boet i Los Angeles.

Hans bedst kendte værk, romanen Fahrenheit 451 blev filmatiseret af Francois Truffaut i 1966, og titlen inspirerede Michael Moore til titlen på sin film Fahrenheit 9/11.

Bradbury har skrevet mange romaner og noveller som foregår på Mars. Han har skrevet filmmanuskripter til blandt andre Moby Dick af John Huston (1956) og King of Kings af Nicholas Ray (1961), samt faglitterære artikler om kunst og kultur.

Småplaneten "(9766) Bradbury" er opkaldt efter ham, og månekrateret Dandelion Crater er opkaldt efter hans roman Dandelion Wine.

Bradburry har fået en stjerne på Hollywood Walk of Fame. Fold ud
