LMAO! It would take 100 years to gamble away Rowling's fortune. Plus, most of the public consider the movies to be adequate and I've never heard her complaining.

Two words
Keira Knightley.

OK If it's not Jane Austin

I say JK Rowling. The cinematic mess they made out of her books. I don't think she wants anyone to mess with Beadle the Bard.

Anne Rice has no one to blame but herself for Queen of the Damned, she had final script approval. Interview was OK except for the acting, the script, the direction, the cinematography, the location. The one redeeming thing was Tom Cruise as Claudia.

i don't know if this was stated but the movie The Perfect Murder is adapted/based from the book M is for Murder...i only know this bc i caught the end credits a few days ago.

Grafton hasn't had any books adapted into movies.

2008-11-17T23:43:00.000-08:00

My first thought was Ann Rice, but then she's a born-again, so she's probably not gambling.

Love, love, LOVE kari b-rum's guess! Alas, Austen is dead.

I think the evidence points to Jackie Collins, though I would have thought she would be rolling in the dough, both self-made and inherited (from her husband).

The woman who writes the Sex and the City novels.

Maybe we need to look at the "friend" in this situation. Suzanne mentioned Toni Morrison, who partnered with Oprah to make Beloved... though her books are a little too wild to make made-for-tv movies.

I can confirm that it is NOT Carrie Fisher. (She'll be the first to tell you that gambling is about the only addiction she doesn't have!)

2008-11-17T18:37:00.000-08:00

I don't think it's Sue Grafton. She's told her kids that she'd haunt them if they try and sell the film rights after she dies. Plus, her books still make a ton of money.

2008-11-17T17:44:00.000-08:00

I'll toss out Toni Morrison and Phillipa Gregory. Both are best selling authors with film adaptations that were less than stellar.

2008-11-17T17:39:00.000-08:00

K, Janet Evanovich's options to the movie have been bought, they just can't find anyone to make it apparently. Or rather, they can't come up with the money to make it and to pay for the A list talent they want to cast.

2008-11-17T16:39:00.000-08:00

Janet Evanovich? There's been a lot of questions as to why her Stephanie Plum books haven't been turned into a movie. Starring Sandra Bullock, of course.

shazzzba - Alec Guiness was the only one who took a %...so Carrie could well be skint. but i guess she would be more of an writer/actress. though would that have made it too obvious? how many writer/actresses are there that have had film adaptations?

2008-11-17T16:24:00.000-08:00

Sue Grafton does the alphabet books and I don't think any of them have been turned into movies or a mini-series. Not sure how she could have been burned on 'bad previous experiences'

She lives in Santa Barbara and there's a casino nearby, and Vegas is just a stones throw.

I can confirm that it is NOT Nora Roberts.

2008-11-17T15:54:00.000-08:00

Yes actress/author true. But Carrie's mom managed to lose all of her fortune too, right? And Carrie has an "addictive personality." For some reason she's just who came to mind and I think I remember that she wasn't happy w/the way Postcards from the Edge came out. But I guess she hasn't written a ton of books either so I'm probably off track. (Betting pun unintentional.)

Marry Higgins Clark- I think she had one or 2 movies go to lifetime a while back, although she's a little on the older side and i dont see her gambling...
