Howard Fast was brought into this world on a crisp autumn day, November 11, 1914, in the bustling metropolis of New York City, located in the state of New York, United States of America. This remarkable individual would go on to leave an indelible mark on the literary world, renowned for his remarkable works such as Spartacus, released in 1960, The Lives of Benjamin Franklin, published in 1974, and Mirage, which made its debut in 1965.
Throughout his life, Howard Fast was blessed to have shared his journey with not one, but two remarkable women. His first wife, Mercedes Aline O'Connor, was a constant source of love and support, and later in life, he found happiness with Beatrice "Bette" Cohen, who joined him on his path.
As the years went by, Howard Fast's remarkable legacy continued to unfold. He would eventually take his final breath on March 12, 2003, in the charming town of Old Greenwich, located in the state of Connecticut, United States of America.
