A Case of Need, written under the Hudson pseudonym, won him his first Edgar Award for Best Novel in 1969. In Travels, he recalls overhearing doctors who were unaware that he was the author, discussing the flaws in his book The Andromeda Strain. In reference to his height, while in medical school, he began writing novels under the pen names "John Lange" and "Jeffrey Hudson" ("Lange" is a surname in Germany, meaning "long", and Sir Jeffrey Hudson was a famous 17th-century dwarf in the court of Queen Consort Henrietta Maria of England). By his own account, he was approximately 6 feet 9 inches (2.06 m) tall in 1997. By this time he had become exceptionally tall. He went on to become the Henry Russell Shaw Traveling Fellow from 1964 to 1965 and Visiting Lecturer in Anthropology at the University of Cambridge in the United Kingdom in 1965.Ĭrichton later enrolled at Harvard Medical School, when he began publishing work. He was also initiated into the Phi Beta Kappa Society. His issues with the English department led Crichton to switch his concentration to biological anthropology as an undergraduate, obtaining his A.B. The paper was returned by his unwitting professor with a mark of "B−". Informing another professor of his suspicions, Crichton plagiarized a work by George Orwell and submitted it as his own. During his undergraduate study in literature, he conducted an experiment to expose a professor whom he believed to be giving him abnormally low marks and criticizing his literary style. Crichton had always planned on becoming a writer and began his studies at Harvard College in 1960. Crichton showed a keen interest in writing from a young age and at the age of 14 had a column related to travel published in The New York Times. He was raised on Long Island, in Roslyn, New York, and had three siblings: two sisters, Kimberly and Catherine, and a younger brother, Douglas. John Michael Crichton was born in Chicago Illinois, to John Henderson Crichton, a journalist, and Zula Miller Crichton, on October 23, 1942. In 1994, Crichton became the only creative artist ever to have works simultaneously charting at #1 in television, film, and book sales (with ER, Jurassic Park, and Disclosure, respectively). He also wrote the novels Jurassic Park, Lost World, and Twister which were adapted into the films Jurassic Park (1993), The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997), and Twister (1996). His books have sold over 200 million copies worldwide, and many have been adapted into films. He was credited as an Executive Producer throughout its fifteen season run and often credited as being the one who created "ER".
