Biography:Nobel Laureate "Gabriel García Márquez" came to prominence in 1968 with the publication of his groundbreaking magic realism novel One Hundred Years of Solitude (1968). Following studies at the Centro Sperimentale di Cinematografia in Rome, he wrote short stories and screenplays, many of which were made into films in the early '50s and were known only to Latin American audiences. During the 1980s, he adapted some of his stories into feature films that became distinguished internationally, including A Very Old Man With Enormous Wings (1988). García Márquez appeared in two U.S. films during 1986, both "Do Not Enter: The Visa War Against Ideas" and "The Paper Curtain", which was broadcast on television. ~ Sandra Brennan, All Movie Guide
