Biography

Diane Johnson is an American author, essayist, and screenwriter, widely recognized by movie audiences as Stanley Kubrick's co-writer for the adaptation of Stephen King's The Shining (1980), a horror classic renowned for its memorable scenes and iconic lines.

A graduate of Stephens College, she began her writing career in the early 1950s, contributing to magazines such as Mademoiselle and Vogue. In 1965, she published her first novel, Fair Game. Her other works include Loving Hands at Home (1968), Burning (1971), The Shadow Knows (1974), Lying Low (1978), Persian Nights (1987)—which earned her a Pulitzer Prize finalist nomination—Health and Happiness (1990), Le Divorce (1997), which was adapted into James Ivory’s film The Divorce (2003), Le Mariage (2000), L'Affaire (2003), Lulu in Marrakech (2008), and most recently, Lorna Mott Comes Home (2021).

She has been married twice and has four children from her first marriage; her second husband died in 2020 due to complications from Covid-19.
