James Oliver Curwood, (June 12, 1878 August 13, 1927), was an American novelist and conservationist. A great number of his works were turned into movies, several of which starred Nell Shipman as a brave and adventurous woman in the wilds of the north. Many films from Curwoods writings were made during his lifetime, as well as after his passing through to the 1950s. In 1988 French director Jean-Jacques Annaud used his 1916 novel, The Grizzly King to make the film The Bear. Annauds success generated a renewed interest in Curwoods stories that resulted in five more films being produced in 1994 and 1995.
