Clifford Irving was an American writer and journalist whose literary career included roughly 20 novels and works of non‑fiction. He gained international notoriety in 1971 when he signed a purported autobiography of Howard Hughes — a project that was later revealed to be a fraud orchestrated with collaborators who forged letters and signatures. The scandal led to lawsuits, the return of multimillion‑dollar advances and Irving’s conviction for conspiracy and fraud; he served 17 months of a two‑and‑a‑half‑year sentence.
After the scandal, Irving published his account of events in The Hoax (1981), a book that inspired the 2006 film of the same name, in which Richard Gere portrays him. He continued to write and published, among other works, the diary of his time in prison; in recent years he made several titles available in digital format. His career also includes the biography Fake! about the painter and forger Elmyr de Hory, a work that connected him to Orson Welles’s film F for Fake.
Irving’s legacy is ambiguous: while acknowledged for literary skill and investigative work, he is chiefly remembered for the Hughes case, which prompted debates about authenticity, editorial ethics and the boundary between fiction and imposture. His papers and personal archives have been preserved for research, containing material that spans roughly half a century of literary activity.
